Frequently Asked Questions: Flexible Resin 3D Printing
Is there a flexible 3D resin?
Yes, flexible 3D printing resins are specifically formulated to produce bendable, elastic parts. These specialized photopolymers cure under UV light while maintaining rubber-like properties. They're available in various shore hardness levels to match different flexibility requirements.
What to do if resin is flexible?
Flexible resin requires careful handling during printing and post-processing to avoid damage. Use appropriate support structures and slower peel speeds during printing. Handle printed parts gently during cleaning and curing to prevent tearing or deformation.
Is flexible PLA better than TPU?
Flexible PLA and TPU serve different purposes - PLA is easier to print but less flexible than TPU. TPU offers superior elasticity and durability for functional parts. The choice depends on your specific application requirements and printer capabilities.
Which resin is more flexible?
Flexibility in resins is measured by Shore hardness ratings - lower numbers indicate greater flexibility. Resins rated 40A Shore hardness are more flexible than those rated 80A. Choose based on your application's specific elasticity and durability requirements.
