What Is Engineering & Tough 3D Printing Resin?

Engineering and tough resins are formulated to provide improved mechanical properties such as higher impact strength, reduced brittleness, and better resistance to cracking under stress. These resins are commonly used when standard 3D printing resin is not strong enough for functional or load-bearing applications.

ABS-Like Resin for Functional Resin Prints

ABS-like resin is one of the most popular engineering resin types due to its balance of strength, durability, and print accuracy. It mimics the properties of injection-moulded ABS plastic, making it suitable for enclosures, brackets, housings, and mechanical components that require reliable performance.

Applications for Engineering & Tough Resin

Engineering-grade resin is commonly used for functional prototypes, snap-fit assemblies, tooling components, jigs, fixtures, and end-use parts. These resins are ideal for product development, engineering validation, and small-batch functional manufacturing where strength and precision are essential.

Compatible with LCD and MSLA Resin Printers

Engineering and tough resins are designed for use with modern LCD and MSLA resin 3D printers, offering consistent curing, excellent layer adhesion, and high dimensional accuracy. Proper exposure settings and post-processing ensure optimal mechanical performance.
