Resin Materials
Standard Resin
Standard is a jack of all trades when it comes to material properties, cheap, and easy to print. This type of resin produces high resoultion and smooth prints. However, these resin can break with little force and is not suitable for function parts.
Price Range: $30-$60/ Kg
Clear Resin
Clear resins fall within the same general category as standard resin with the only noticeable difference being they can be post processed to be nearly transparent. Additionally, once could mix in different colors to produce whatever transparent, colored parts one could think of. This clarity can be degreaded if exposed to UV rays for too long.
Price Range: $25-$70/ Kg
Tough Resin
Tough resin has similiar qualities to ABS FDM filament. This resin takes the standard resin up a notch in terms of its mechnical properties. Tough resins are great for functional parts which will have low-moderate loads on them and require high impact and shatter resistance.
Price Range: $40-$100/ Kg
Flexible Resin
F
lexible resin has similar qualities to TPU FDM filament with the added benefit of producing much finner quality prints. These resins offer great flexible parts which are highly impact resistant. However, they can be quite hard to print with and require use of good support structures.
Price Range: $50-$120/ Kg
Water-Washable Resin
Water -Washable Resin elivates the toxic post processing issues that normal resin have. One can simply, remove the print and wash off the excess material. This material is stronger than standard resin and have fast curing speeds. But too much water can make parts crack.
Price Range: $35-$80/ Kg
Ceramic-Filled Resin
If a components requires even more durabilty and strength then Tough Resin then Ceramic-Filled Resins are the way to go. These materials offer extremely tough parts which have high heat resistance and thermal stability. The print quality is also great but at the expense of being brittle.
Price Range: $70-$150/ Kg
