Latest developments in stereolithography resins
At PDS we keep an ear close to the ground for the latest developments in resins and our experts have selected a range to cover most applications.
What’s more, weโre frequently asked by suppliers to beta test resins, allowing us to see some of the new materials that may be coming to the market.
The widest choice of resins around
We currently offerย 3 different SLA resinsย to allow us to help you find the material that best suits your needs.
Some of the resins we currently offer include:
Xtreme Resin
Near Water Clear Resin
Polypropylene Simulant Resin
This grey looking material provides excellent durability. it’s the toughest SLA material in our range.
Durable, strong, water resistant and semi-transparent material. This material is also an ABS simulant type material. Suitable for quickcast prototypes for producing metal castings.
Flexible parts with high impact strength. This resin is ideal for snap-fit parts or where impact strength is all important.
