If you're a fan of classic cars, or even if you just enjoy the occasional Sunday drive, you know that automotive manufacturing is an art form. From the design to the finished product, there's a lot of thought and skill that goes into creating a car that people will love. But what happens when modern technology meets this age-old industry? 3D printing with resin is one exciting possibility. So what are resins used in 3D printing? Let's take a closer look.

In case you're not familiar with it, 3D printing is an additive manufacturing process where three-dimensional objects are created by laying down successive layers of material. In some cases, resins may be used to create these layers.

What type of resin is used in 3D printing?

The kind of resin used in 3D printing is called photopolymer resin, which is a liquid that turns into plastic through a chemical reaction with UV light. Some people confuse epoxy resin with 3D printing resin, but that is a fundamentally different type of material. Gray photopolymer resin is the most popular color.

5 Different 3D Printed Resins

• Standard Resin. Our most recently added resin is Standard Resin. ...
• Gray Resin. Gray Resin, previously known as Prime Gray, is a very smooth resin, much smoother than almost all other 3D printing materials, and easy to paint. ...
• Mammoth Resin. ...
• Transparent Resin. ...
• High-Detail Resin.

What is  Mammoth Resin!

A material which can be constructed from liquid resin and hardened with a laser to create models up to 2100 x 700x 800 mm in size. The surface has low durablity, making this Print Friendly™ option perfect for those looking forward their first big build or just wanting something nice enough not care about breaking anytime soon

- oh yeah then there's also its affordability too.

The process of constructing them begins with liquid resin, then this goes through laser hardening so that it has an almost glass like finish on top but still offers good mechanical properties for printing high detail parts requiring more durability than other materials such as plaster or clay would provide without compromising quality too much due its smooth surface texture made from polyester glycolide (PGL).
Mammoths are famous all over again because we now have access tp these amazing printers!

How strong are 3D printed resin?

Parts printed in tough resin have tensile strength (55.7 MPa) and modulus of elasticity (2.7 GPa) comparable to ABS. This material will produce sturdy, shatter-resistant parts and functional prototypes, such as enclosure with snap-fit joints, or rugged prototypes.



Liqcreate's Strong-X is perhaps the toughest resin on this list. Boasting a 91 MPa tensile strength and 135 Mpa flexural strength, it can easily be applied for heavy-duty uses. Strong-X also provides a high-temperature resistance, enough even for injection molding applications
