Material selection is one of the most critical factors in resin 3D printing. If you’ve ever held a brittle, weak 3D-printed part, you know that not all resins are created equal. With EnvisionTEC’s high-performance Digital Light Processing (DLP) resins, manufacturers can achieve production-grade quality, combining strength, flexibility, heat resistance, and precision.
Finding the Right Resin for Your Application
Rigid & Durable: Strong, Impact-Resistant Parts
For structural components, jigs, and enclosures, durability is key.
- E-RigidForm: A strong, dimensionally stable resin ideal for machine parts and rugged industrial applications.
- Loctite E-3843: Mimics ABS plastic, making it perfect for brackets, electronic housings, and impact-resistant components.
- Loctite IND 405: A polypropylene-like material, offering a balance of toughness and slight flexibility.
Heat-Resistant: When Temperature Matters
For aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications, parts must endure extreme conditions.
- Loctite 3955 HDT280 FST: Handles up to 300°C, meeting aerospace fire safety standards.
- E-Perform: A ceramic-filled resin for industrial tooling and high-temperature environments.
- Loctite IND 406: Ideal for electrical enclosures and moderate-heat industrial components.
Flexible & Rubber-Like: For Soft-Touch and Dynamic Parts
Parts that need to stretch, absorb shock, or form a tight seal require specialized elastomeric resins.
- Elastic ToughRubber™ 70: A soft, impact-absorbing material for grips, medical devices, and protective covers.
- Elastic ToughRubber™ 90: Stiffer but still flexible, ideal for gaskets, seals, and industrial cushioning.
Castable: Precision for Jewelry, Dental, and Industrial Casting
For metal casting applications, resins need to burn out cleanly without residue.
- EasyCast 2.0: Designed for high-detail jewelry and dental models.
- WIC100 Series: A reliable choice for industrial casting applications.
