Impact-Resistant 3D Printer Resins
Bumps, scrapes, and falls won’t damage parts made from these tough resins because they absorb impact without cracking or breaking. They’re good for creating tool handles, storage cases, and other parts that are handled and dropped often. Print them on a digital light processing (DLP), stereolithography (SLA), or LCD 3D printer.
Tensile strength is the best measure of a resin’s overall strength. Similar to the stress applied on a rope during a game of tug-of-war, it’s the amount of pulling force a material can handle before breaking. A higher rating means a stronger resin.
Elongation is the amount of stretching that a material can withstand before breaking. Resins with a low elongation can break suddenly under load, while resins with a high elongation will deform before breaking. The higher the percentage, the more your part will deform before breaking.
Maximum exposure temperature is the point at which a printed part will begin to deform. Above this temperature, your part will start to lose structural integrity.

High-Temperature 3D Printer Resins
Parts made from these resins remain strong and rigid in temperatures that would soften most plastic, so they're often used near ovens, engines, and other hot machinery. They're a good lightweight alternative to machined metal parts. Print them on a digital light processing (DLP), stereolithography (SLA), or LCD 3D printer.
Ceramic-filled resins are the stiffest in our 3D printer resin offering once cured. Use them in parts that need to remain stable and not stretch under heavy loads.
Maximum exposure temperature is the point at which a printed part will begin to deform. Above this temperature, your part will start to lose structural integrity.

Flame-Retardant 3D Printer Resins
Create holders, guards, housings, and other parts to protect flammable components. These resins are self-extinguishing and meet UL 94 V-0 for flame resistance. If they do begin to smoke, they won't release toxins into the air because they're halogen free. They also meet ASTM E595, a standard used by NASA, which means they give off almost no volatile emissions that could damage electronics, even in a vacuum.
