Liquid Resin Printing Liquid resin printing refers to additive manufacturing processes like SLA (Stereolithography) and DLP (Digital Light Processing), where photopolymer resin is selectively cured using ultraviolet (UV) light to form solid objects. Unlike traditional FDM printing, which extrudes filament, resin printing achieves extremely high resolution, making it ideal for miniatures, dental applications, and jewelry. However, it requires post-processing, including washing the print in isopropyl alcohol and curing it under UV light to enhance strength. Despite producing smooth, detailed prints, resin printing involves handling toxic chemicals, necessitating proper ventilation and protective gear. Advances in resin technology continue to improve its accessibility and versatility. |
