About Standard Resin
What is Standard Resin?
SLA prints with a UV laser tracing each cross-section in liquid photopolymer. The result is a part with virtually invisible layer lines — we run at 50 µm, half the thickness of the finest FDM layer — and a glassy surface ready for paint. Resin is brittle compared to thermoplastics and degrades under sustained UV, so we treat it as a beauty material rather than a structural one.

Common questions
Questions buyers ask
How fine a detail can resin actually capture?
At our 50 µm setting, surface text from 0.6 mm and chamfers down to 0.3 mm reproduce cleanly. Below that, individual feature visibility depends on geometry orientation.
Can I paint a resin print directly?
Yes. After post-cure and a light scuff sand, resin takes acrylic and enamel paint beautifully. No primer needed for most colours.
Is resin dangerous to handle?
Liquid resin is — that's a studio problem. Once a part is washed and post-cured, it is fully inert and safe to handle.
