Resin 3D printed parts - they’re pretty, but aren’t they delicate and brittle? They wouldn’t make for good production parts. If you think that, you’re not alone. For decades this was true, but over the last few years photo-cured resins have come a long way. Not only are they matching thermoplastics, but they’re outperforming them in many cases and, yes, they are being used in production.
ABS, PP, and PEEK are just a few of the thermoplastics that now have resin analogs. How do these light-loving resins match up with their warm-weather counterparts? Let’s find out.
