Recent advancement in resin development made it possible to 3D-print flexible resins. Before flexible materials or TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethanes) were only available for FDM and laser sinter printers. With the availability of flexible or elastic 3D-printing resins, the SLA, DLP and MSLA 3D-printers can also process this class of materials. Earlier we published an article [...]

Clear and transparent 3D prints are ideal for creating clear prototype parts, showing internal cavities and details. Applications like LED housings, prototyping lens parts and microfluidic devices are a few examples of application 3D-printed with clear resin. Learn how propmaker Campman Animatronics used Clear Impact to 3D-print a transparant transverse flute for the Dutch Queens [...]

In the field of resin 3D-printing there are two mainstream resin technologies. One based on acrylates and the other one based on epoxides. In large scale SLA 3D-printers like from UnionTech, 3DSystems, Raplas, RPS, EnvisionTEC and others, epoxy resins are the standard. These materials cure by a mechanism of ring-opening-polymerization which limits the shrinkage which [...]
