Durable (PE-Like) Resin 3D Printing

The most impact-resistant resin we print, with a polyethylene-like feel and low friction. Parts deform under a hard hit rather than shatter, and surfaces wear smoothly. Softer and less stiff than Tough Resin; pick Durable when a part will be dropped, squeezed or rubbed, and Tough when it has to stay rigid.

The most impact-resistant resin we print, with a polyethylene-like feel and low friction. Parts deform under a hard hit rather than shatter, and surfaces wear smoothly. Softer and less stiff than Tough Resin; pick Durable when a part will be dropped, squeezed or rubbed, and Tough when it has to stay rigid.
How much detail can Durable Resin hold?
Durable Resin prints at 25–50 µm layer resolution with a smooth surface finish, and holds ±0.1 mm, or ±0.2% on dimensions above 100 mm.
How big a part can you print in Durable Resin, and how fast?
Up to 353.2 × 198.7 × 400 mm in one piece; larger parts are printed in sections and joined, after a review. Production takes 2-5 business days, and rush service is available.
