Resin Mechanical Properties: The Ultimate 3D Printing Guide
Understanding resin mechanical properties is crucial for successful 3D printing. Key properties include tensile strength, which measures the maximum stress a resin can handle before breaking; tensile strain at break, indicating how much a resin can stretch; and flexural modulus, reflecting stiffness under bending. Other important factors are thermal conductivity, affecting heat dissipation, and dimensional stability, ensuring accuracy in printed parts. Testing methods and standards, such as those led by NIST, are essential for reliable performance data. Selecting the right resin involves balancing these properties to meet specific application needs effectively.
