SLA 3D Printing
SLA is perfect for intricate parts and assemblies. Parts have a smooth surface finish and are incredibly detailed.
Standard
Standard resin is known for its ability to produce incredibly detailed prints, making it an excellent choice for DnD & Warhammer miniatures, figurines, terrains, and sculptures. It offers an incredibly smooth, matte surface finish that can be sanded & painted. However, standard resin is brittle and not suitable for functional or load-bearing applications. It also has limited thermal resistance, making it less ideal for high-temperature environments.
Maximum Working Temperature: 50°C
Tough
Tough resin offers improved impact resistance and elongation at break compared to standard resin, making it suitable for functional parts with intricate details. It is ideal for applications that require both strength and fine features, such as mechanical prototypes, snap-fit assemblies, and durable figurines. While not as strong as traditional engineering plastics, tough resin provides a balance between detail resolution and mechanical performance.
Maximum Working Temperature: 70°C
Mechanical
Mechanical resin is engineered for high strength and low friction, making it perfect for functional, interlocking parts such as gears, bushings, and mechanisms. Its wear-resistant properties ensure smooth operation and longevity, even under repeated stress and movement. The material's surface hardness prevents scratching and abrasion, maintaining the precision and integrity of the printed parts. Mechanical resin is the go-to choice for creating durable, high-performance components in complex assemblies and mechanical systems.
Maximum Working Temperature: 70°C
Dyed
We can dye our resins (even clear) to any colour you choose
Maximum Working Temperature: Varies
