Standard resin is a general-purpose photopolymer optimized for fine detail and a smooth surface finish. It offers good rigidity but limited impact resistance, making it suitable for visual models and detailed prototypes, rather than functional parts.
Standard resin is the general-purpose photopolymer most commonly used for visual models, prototypes, and detailed miniatures.
It's rigid and holds fine surface detail well, but it's also quite brittle; it has relatively low elongation at break and impact resistance, so it tends to crack or shatter under sudden stress rather than flexing. This makes it a strong choice for static, detail-focused work, but a poor choice for parts that need to survive drops, snap-fits, or repeated mechanical stress. Tough resin would be the better fit there.
Standard resin suits display models, miniatures, design prototypes, and visual mockups where surface finish and accuracy matter more than mechanical durability.
