Facts about 3D Printing Resin
Resin 3D printing is not an official name, though it came to adopt that name because the machine uses resin material to print. The name of resin 3D printing is known as Stereolithography SLA; this technique cures liquid photopolymer into a solid object. What makes this technology different from other printing technologies:
- First, as mentioned above, they utilize the principle of photopolymerization to develop objects. Photopolymerization is a chemical response of a liquid material that interchanges its properties when subjected to light. The light source can be different, such as LCD panes, lasers, or projectors. The outcome differs because of the different types, but for 3D printing, it solidifies.
- They use UV or daylight resin as materials known as photopolymers.
- They operate according to code; this is where a machine creates a code straight from an uploaded digital model. And this is where most users needs the lychee 3D slicer, or some people may prefer chitubox slicer for slicing the model so that the printer understands the specifications of the model.
- The material to be cured is stored in a vat/resin tank.
- Resin printers cure photopolymers, and they vary in;
- Stiffness and strength
- Chemical and mechanical resistance
- Biocompatibility
- Highest possible resolution
- Wavelength required for curing
- Exposure time solidification
Because of these reasons, it isn’t possible to interchange SLA resin to be printed on DLP 3D printing. Some resin grades are created with add-ins for various manufacturing and phototyping needs.

- Engineering resins are materials that have better mechanical and thermal properties as compared to other printing materials. Engineering resins are often resistant to corrosive, high temperatures, and wear. Professionals use it mostly on metal placements or wood to reduce weight or cost while maintaining performance and strength. In the engineering resin category, we have;
- SIRAYA tech blu-tough resin
- SIRAYA tech tenacious-flexible resin
- SIRAYA tech build-drillable precision resin
- SIRAYA tech sculpt-high temperature resistant resin
- Castable resin printing involves using synthetic resin, which is any resin that is convertible into string and rigid polymer via curing. The process begins in a liquid state and converts to a solid state; the liquid resin is mixed with a curing agent at room temperature, and then the two substances are poured into the mold cavity. The curing agent converts the resin into the rigid polymer; then, the reaction is ejected and removed from the mold cavity. Castable resin category, we have included;
- SIRAYA tech cast-castable resin
- Laser resin offers various mechanical, thermal, and optical properties to match the engineering, standard, and industrial thermoplastics. Resin 3D printing is ideal for highly detailed prototypes requiring tight tolerances and surfaces like patterns, molds, and functional parts. So, the materials can be used in various industries, from product design to manufacturing, jewelry, education, and many more. SIRAYA tech laser resin is famous for its ability to develop high accuracy, watertight prototypes, isotropic, and parts with advanced fine features and smooth surfaces. In the laser resin category, we have;
