Tough Resin
Process: SLA
Durability, Strength
3D printing tough resin material is designed for printing projects that require high durability and impact resistance. It offers excellent mechanical properties, capable of withstanding high pressure and severe impact, while maintaining precise printing details. Whether creating prototypes, functional parts, or industrial applications, the tough resin provides an ideal balance—finding the sweet spot between strength and flexibility.
PC-Like Advanced Temp
Process: SLA
Temperature Resistance, Strength, Stiffness
PC-Like Advanced High Temp is a high-temperature reinforced material with properties similar to polycarbonate, specifically designed for functional parts that require a combination of high strength, stiffness, and heat resistance. Post-curing can further increase the heat deflection temperature of the parts, enhancing their stability and reliability in high-temperature environments. It should be noted that post-curing may reduce some aspects of durability, so a balance between strength and toughness should be considered during design.
Ceramic-Like
Process: SLA
Heat Resistance, Strength, Stiffness
The high-temperature reinforced ceramic white combines exceptional heat resistance with outstanding strength and stiffness, making it an ideal choice for functional parts and high-performance prototypes. Post-curing further enhances its mechanical properties and thermal stability, providing reliable performance for complex geometries. Whether for aerospace, precision molds, electronic insulators, or laboratory equipment, this ceramic material meets the highest standards under demanding conditions, delivering solid support for innovative designs and high-performance manufacturing.
