Tough Resin

Tough resin is an impact-modified photopolymer that trades some of standard resin's stiffness for significantly better elongation and impact resistance. This makes it better suited to functional parts that need to withstand stress without cracking.

Standard Resin

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.

High-Detail Resin

High-detail resin is a photopolymer formulated to minimize shrinkage and maximize edge sharpness and surface resolution, capturing extremely fine features like engraved text and fabric texture that other materials can't reproduce as reliably.

Translucent Resin

Translucent resin allows light to pass through with a soft, diffused effect rather than true see-through clarity. This makes it the practical choice when frosted light diffusion is the goal rather than optical clarity.

Transparent Resin

Transparent resin is a clear photopolymer that is capable of true glass-like optical clarity. It's an ideal choice for parts where you need to see clearly through the material.

Nylon-Like Resin

Nylon-like resin is an impact-modified photopolymer formulated to mimic nylon's flexibility and toughness, offering meaningfully better durability than standard resin. However, it doesn't fully match the toughness of actual printed nylon.
