How to choose the right 3D printing material?

Let´s help you find the right resin for your needs:

  • If you are after basic "me too cheaper" resins for fast modelling and prototyping order our basic 3D resins for conceptual design
  • If you are after basic eco friendly 3D resins order our 3D resins for fast modelling and prototyping
  • If you want ultra tough and durable functional engineering materials order our 3Dresyns "like" best functional engineering plastics
  • If you have time explore around 500 3D resyns: All 3Dresyns products and over 100 collections: Collections
  • If you are after "specifics" search in our horizontal main menu bar and explore all the menu items:
    • 1st Main menu row: SLA, DLP & LCD 3D resins are organized by performance, property and application, followed by additives and auxiliaries
    • 2nd Main menu row:  3D resins for indirect Additive Manufacturing and 3D resins for other printing technologies   

After choosing your 3D resin:

  • Some 3Dresyns have been intentionally designed with high viscosity to maximise their mechanical strength and safety. Relatively high viscosity 3D resins  can be ordered with relatively lower or higher viscosity:
    • HV stands for relatively Higher Viscosity versions for increased mechanical properties and biocompatibility, but higher peeling force (adhesion on the FEP or PDMS). HV versions are ideal for printers having heating systems for printing at >25ºC
    • LV stands for relatively Lower Viscosity versions for decreased peeling force, but relatively lower mechanical properties and biocompatibility
    • LV versions have lower viscosity than HV versions but are still relatively viscous resins. LV versions can normally be printed without any heating systems, presuming the room temperature is at least at 20-25ºC
    • Discover the benefits of printing with heated printers since for a small investment of 50 Euro a heating unit can be easily installed by yourself in your existing printer 
  • Select your printer type and specify your printer model:
    • Among multicolor LCD (old LCD technology), monochrome LCD (new LCD technology), DLP, laser, and any other printers working with light from 200 to 410 nm
  • Select a relative fast, intermediate or slow printing speed versions:
    • F stands for a relatively Fast printing speed but slightly lower resolution, dimensional accuracy, biocompatibility, and slightly higher yellowing
    • I stands for a relatively Intermediate printing speed and overall properties (midpoint)
    • S stands for a relatively Slow printing speed, improved resolution, dimensional accuracy, biocompatibility and lower yellowing
    • most 3D resins print with exposure times between 2 and 20 seconds for z layers between 50 and 100 microns
    • depending on each specific resin, printer power, and chosen z layer thickness different exposure times are required for printing: Instructions For Use IFU will help you to get the best printing settings for your printing specifications

  • If you want to order a product with the same composition and specifications as a previously ordered one, then indicate before checkout: "same version, tuning and specifications as lot number x"

Quality control Validation for ordered products 

Quality control validation of the chosen made to order 3Dresyns is done after production to ensure the ordered products meet the highest quality standards. 

3Dresyns quality control of printing speed includes the measurement of the curing rate table of each made to order 3D resin at certain light power specifications at 405 nm a different exposure times.

The curing rate table is is ideal for fast & easy finding the optimum printing settings in most SLA, DLP & LCD 3D printers working with a 405 nm light wavelength.

Optional ordering of the curing rate table

The curing rate table at 405 nm can be optionally ordered online for 40 Euro for each ordered 3Dresyn. Alternatively, Instructions for Use IFU are sent for free upon request for custom filing up the curing rate table for selecting the best printing settings of our resins in your specific printer. After placing your order requestT our IFU by email to: info@3dresyns.com

The curing rate table provides the thickness of the chosen 3D resin cured at a light power similar to the chosen DLP/LCD printer during ordering. 3Dresyns curing rate table of the ordered 3D resin is measured by curing the resin with a 405 nm light wavelength at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 75, and 100 seconds. The thickness of the cured resin at the mentioned times is used for filling up the curing rate table.

Light power matching "synchronisation"

For getting exact curing rate values we recommend you ordering the same light meter as ours, the Chitu Systems Digital UV Light Meter. 3Dresyns has chosen this model due to its affordability and realibility since its spectral range of 402-407 nm coincides with most printers light wavelength (405 nm).  

The ordered curing rate table can be much more accurately measured after sharing your exact printer power since this will permit the 3Dresyns team to measure the curing rate table of your ordered 3D resins with the same power as yours since we will match your light power (light power matching) for fast & accurate finding your optimum printing settings: Fast and accurate Instructions for Use "IFU" for DLP & LCD printers.

About packaging

Orders of several units of the same products will be automatically grouped and bottled in bigger bottles or jerrycans, unless the Company and the Recipient agree and negotiate beforehand the reselling of the products with the original labels in the original bottle sizes shown on the Company´s website. In these cases, pricing, discounts, packaging, and terms & conditions will need to be negotiated offline B2B.
