Related & Alternative Materials

SLA · Resins

Transparent Clear Resin

SLA · Transparent

This SLA photosensitive resin has the characteristics of high transparency and low viscosity. This material has excellent strength and toughness while ensuring high transparency, and can achieve high-precision molding and good dimensional stability. Resin printed parts can be stored for up to 6.5 months or longer. It is suitable for industries such as automobiles, medical health, and consumer electronics, and is used to make master molds, concept models, and general parts that require high transparency.

FDM · Standard Plastics

PETG

FDM · Black & White

PETG is a strong and durable plastic similar to ABS, but harmless to human health. PETG is made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), one of the most common synthetic materials, and modified with ethylene glycol. Therefore, PETG is stiffer, stiffer, more precise, and easier to use in 3D printing and processing than PET.

SLA · Resins

Translucent Resin

SLA · Translucent

SLA photosensitive resin has high transparency and low viscosity. These components are manufactured at the cost of reduced transparency, superior strength and toughness, high precision and good dimensional stability. Resin can produce components with a lifespan of 6.5 months or more. Ideal for automotive, medical, consumer electronics and other industries investing in master models, concept models and general parts, which require a high degree of transparency.
