What is Resin 3D Printing?
Resin 3D printing is a type of additive manufacturing technology that uses liquid resins to craft objects. This 3D printing type is also known as vat photopolymerization: the process uses short wavelength light to solidify liquid resin into 3D pieces.
The advantage of 3D Printing services:
There are two main types of plastics:
Thermoplastics are the most commonly used type of plastic. The main feature that sets them apart from thermosets is their ability to go through numerous melt and solidification cycles. Thermoplastics can be heated and formed into the desired shape. The process is reversible, as no chemical bonding takes place, which makes recycling or melting and reusing thermoplastics feasible. A common analogy for thermoplastics is butter, which can be melted, re-solidify, and melted again. With each melting cycle, the properties change slightly. |
Thermosetting plastics (also referred to as thermosets) remain in a permanent solid state after curing. Polymers in thermosetting materials cross-link during a curing process that is induced by heat, light, or suitable radiation. Thermosetting plastics decompose when heated rather than melting, and will not reform upon cooling. Recycling thermosets or returning the material back into its base ingredients is not possible. A thermosetting material is like cake batter, once baked into a cake, it cannot be melted back into batter again. |
The three most mature plastic 3D printing processes are as follows:
A fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer melts and extrudes thermoplastic filaments, and the printer nozzle is deposited layer by layer in the built area.
Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printers use a laser to cure a thermosetting liquid resin into a hardened plastic, a process known as photopolymerization.
Selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printers use high-power lasers to melt small particles of thermoplastic powder.
What are the advantages of resin 3d printing?
Parts 3D printed with resin offer the best resolution, accuracy, clearest detail and the smoothest surface finish of any technology used for 3D printing. However, the most significant advantage of stereolithography is that it can be applied to a wide variety of environments.
These resins have a wide range of optical, mechanical and thermal properties comparable to conventional, engineering and industrial thermoplastics.

| |
Design Preparation | Create or optimize a 3D model using CAD software, ensuring it meets the specifications and requirements for printing. |
Material Selection | Choose the appropriate material based on the application, such as plastic, metal, or resin, considering factors like strength, flexibility, and finish. |
Printing Setup | Configure the 3D printer settings, including layer thickness, printing speed, and temperature, according to the material and design requirements. |
3D Printing | The printer builds the part layer by layer according to the digital model, using the chosen material and printing technology (e.g., FDM, SLA, SLS). |
Post-Processing | Clean and finish the printed part by removing support structures, sanding, polishing, or applying surface treatments to achieve the desired final appearance and functionality. |
