10 common resin 3D-printing fails and how to solve them

Resin 3D-printing is more complicated than many other 3D-printing techniques. This is due to the many different factors involved in the 3D-printing process. In this article we explain the most common resin 3D-printing defects and how to solve them. If you don’t like reading, Hiro Creations shared a video on his tips and tricks how [...]

Is DLP faster than SLA?

in most cases DLP is faster than SLA. A DLP printer will expose the complete build plate at once compared to the SLA printer in which the laser has to touch every single spot. According to SLA printer manufacturer Formlabs: “As a rule of thumb, this results in SLA 3D printers being comparable or faster [...]

Do DLP printers need special resin?

We often get the question if DLP printers need special resin. Unfortunately this question cannot be answered with just a yes or no. There are quite some factors that come into play when using different resin 3D-printing technologies. In this article you can find all the technical information why and how a resin works on [...]

Explained & tested: Coloring of 3D-printing resin

Currently over 17 Liqcreate resins are commercially available. These high-end photopolymer resins are used in a wide range of industries including prototyping, industrial, entertainment, consumer goods, healthcare, dental, aerospace and automotive. Even though a lot of resins are available, we sometimes get questions about resins with slightly different colors. For bigger volumes, we offer custom development, OEM, Private label and [...]

Plant-based, non-toxic and eco resins for 3D-printing

Since the invention of resin 3D-printing back in 1986, 3D-printing resin materials were mainly based on epoxy and acrylate chemistry from non-biobased sources. Recently the industry is focused on sustainable material feedstock and development of alternative eco- and bio-based 3D-printing resins. On this topic, 3D ADEPT Mag interviewed Liqcreate’s Sales & Marketing Executive, Ruben Bosch. [...]

Mixing 3D-printing resins: properties and 3D-printing behavior

Currently over 17 Liqcreate resins are commercially available. These high-end photopolymer resins are used in a wide range of industries including prototyping, industrial, entertainment, consumer goods, healthcare, dental, aerospace and automotive. Even though a lot of resins are available, we sometimes get questions about resins with slightly different properties, printing behavior or colors. For bigger [...]

Thermal aging of engineering resins for 3D-printing

With the adoption of Liqcreate resins in the consumer goods, automotive and aerospace sector, more data on UV-aging, chemical compatibility and thermal aging is requested. Previously UV-aging and chemical compatibility was tested. The results of UV-aging of Liqcreate 3D-printing resins can be found here. Chemical resistance and chemical compatibility of Liqcreate 3D-printing resins is published [...]

The Longer Orange 4K resin LCD 3D-printer.

The Longer Orange 4K LCD/MSLA 3D-printer is an open printer with a 405 nm light source, compatible with 3rd party resins. The settings for Liqcreate resins are not yet available. Looking at the 3D-printer specifications, most resins could also work on this printer. A good starting step in settings are the settings published for the [...]
