Our ever growing library of versatile, reliable Engineering Resins are formulated to help users reduce costs, iterate faster, simulating a wide range of end-use materials. However, since thermoplastics aren’t used in SLA 3D printing, selecting a material is not always straightforward for most engineers. 

In this webinar we’ll aim to remove the guesswork when it comes to deciding which material suits your application, making recommendations and drawing comparisons to popular thermoplastics you’re familiar with. 

So if you are looking for a dynamic material that can handle compression, stretching, bending, and high impacts without breaking or if you need something with an 80A Shore durometer to simulate the flexibility of TPU balancing softness with strength, we have you covered. 

After watching this webinar you’ll know if in-house SLA 3D printing can produce parts for your prototyping, validation, or end-use needs.

What you will learn:

  • The differences and similarities between thermoplastics and thermosets when it comes to properties such as impact resistance, HDT, creep, and more.
  • More about our four Engineering Resin Families - Tough and Durable, Flexible and Elastic, Rigid and our Speciality resins.
  • Which specific thermosets we recommend based on hard or soft plastics you’re familiar with
  • How to translate performance requirements like a snap fit into materials requirements like flexural or tensile modulus.
