High-Detail Prototypes
Intricate geometry, sharp edges, and fine text that FDM printing can't hold cleanly.

Extended Range · Resin
Resin, for detail no filament can match.
Beyond our standard photopolymer resin, we can source specialty resin formulations for specific finish, strength, or production requirements — from tough, ABS-like blends to flexible, castable, and high-temperature grades, each suited to a different stage of a project.
SLA / DLP / MSLA resin prints at a far finer layer resolution than FDM, capturing sharp edges, small text, and intricate geometry that filament can't reproduce — the trade-off is a smaller build volume and parts that are more brittle unless a tough or flexible grade is used.
Jewellery & Castable Patterns
Castable resin patterns that burn out cleanly for jewellery and dental investment casting.
Miniatures & Presentation Models
Collectibles, figurines, and display models where surface finish and fine detail are the whole point.
Mould Masters & Fit Models
Smooth, dimensionally precise masters and fit-check models for casting, tooling, and detailed assemblies.
Properties
What resin is — and isn't — good for.
Standard resin gives the finest surface finish and detail but is the most brittle; Tough and ABS-Like grades trade a little surface quality for impact resistance closer to a production plastic; Flexible resin behaves like a soft rubber for gaskets and wearables; and Castable resin burns out cleanly for jewellery and dental investment casting. ESD-Safe, High-Temp, and Ceramic-Filled grades serve specific industrial and dental/model applications, and Water-Washable formulations simplify post-processing. We'll match the resin grade to whether the part needs to look right, function under load, or be cast into metal — rather than defaulting to one general-purpose blend.
