To better understand the currently available material options, we took a closer look at the types of resins you can use in 3D printing and their different characteristics. Clear Resins Clear resins are very similar to standard resins. Flexible 3D Printing Resins These types of 3D printing resins have rubber-like qualities and have a shore hardness of around 80A. They are characterized by the ability to create strong objects as they are capable of bending and compressing without becoming deformed. Heat-Resistant Resins Need to create parts that can withstand high temperatures? Then these 3D printing resins are your ideal choice. Burnout Resins Like heat-resistant resins, burnout resins can be classified as industrial resins. Conclusion Although resin 3D printing is very versatile in and of itself, resins have a number of disadvantages that should be taken into consideration before printing. Still, the versatility of the different types of 3D printing resins makes them ideal tools for a wide variety of applications.
