In recent years, 3D printing has gone from a niche hobby to a cornerstone of modern fabrication. Among the various types of additive manufacturing, resin 3d printing has emerged as a game-changer—offering unmatched detail, precision, and finish for custom parts, prototypes, and even end-use products. Whether you're a designer, engineer, or a small business owner, understanding this technology can open doors to new levels of creativity and production efficiency.
Resin 3D printing refers to a process known as vat photopolymerization, where a liquid photopolymer resin is cured layer by layer using a light source—usually a laser or LCD screen. Common types include SLA (Stereolithography), DLP (Digital Light Processing), and MSLA (Masked Stereolithography).
Unlike FDM printers that extrude melted plastic, resin printers use light to solidify detailed models with much higher resolution. This makes resin 3D printing ideal for intricate designs, smooth surfaces, and parts requiring fine tolerances.
