Frequently asked questions

Yes, for professional work. AmeraLabs resins are formulated for specific purposes like engineering prototypes, dental models, and detailed masters. They provide strong mechanical properties, low shrinkage, and consistent batches at good prices. See the TDS for each product to compare tensile strength, elongation, and curing data.

Yes, on most 385–410 nm LCD, MSLA, DLP, and LED printers, including Anycubic, Elegoo, Phrozen, Prusa, and Asiga. Recommended starting settings are in the TDS or on our site. Third-party resin support is required in your slicer. AmeraLabs resins may not suit PDMS vat printers. If unsure about compatibility, contact support.

All resins cure from 225 nm to 420 nm UV light, with peak absorption at 365 nm. This fits the 385–410 nm range on most consumer and professional LED, LCD, and DLP printers today.

No casting resin is available yet. Email us and we will notify you when a castable version is ready.

Yes, we accept business custom requests for UV materials. We can create new formulations or adjust existing ones in reasonable volumes. Development can take months to years depending on specifications and testing. Contact us with details.

Yes, worldwide except countries under EU export restrictions or sanctions (such as North Korea, Iran, Russia, and Belarus). Shipping options show at checkout. Check our local reseller options for alternatives.

No customs fees from us. Your local customs may add duties or import fees based on your country. EU orders usually have no extra customs charges. Any fees are paid directly to your customs office.

EU customers pay VAT based on their country. EU VAT-registered businesses can get exemption by providing their VAT number during checkout (or contact us beforehand). Non-EU customers pay no VAT from us, but local customs duties or taxes may apply.

Shipping cost shows at checkout based on your address and method. We use trackable and reliable DHL shipping.

Orders ship in 1–3 business days. We send a tracking number after shipment. Delivery times can vary due to holidays, weather, or carrier issues. We ship fast from Lithuania as soon as possible. If you need express shipping, let us know before placing your order.

From Lithuania (EU): EU delivery in 3–7 business days; international in 7–14 business days. All shipments are tracked. Check resellers for local faster options.

Yes, we set a 1-year expiration from production. When kept cool, dry, and dark, it often lasts longer (unopened 12–24 months; opened 6–12 months). Check the batch date on the bottle label.

Store at 15–25 °C, in a dry and dark place. Keep containers tightly closed and locked. Resin can stay in the vat short-term under the same conditions. Avoid temperatures above 30 °C. Do not pour unused vat unfiltered resin back into the bottle to prevent contamination, use glass or HDPE containers if needed.

Wear nitrile gloves, a proper respirator (with organic vapor cartridges), and safety glasses. Work in a well-ventilated space. Avoid skin and eye contact. Our resins have low smell but follow standard resin safety protocols.

It can irritate or sensitize the skin. Wash immediately with soap and water (do not use solvents). Seek medical advice if irritation persists. Always use protective gear to prevent contact.

No. Resins are not tested or approved for food contact or toys. Never ingest uncured resin. Cured parts should not be used where ingestion is a risk. Follow all safety rules.

Never pour resin down drain as it pollutes water. All uncured resins should be disposed as hazardous waste per local regulations. All printed parts can be dispose of as regular waste. Evaporate contaminated IPA (isopropyl alcohol) outdoors or through a licensed hazardous waste service. Use gloves, glasses, respirator, and ventilation.

Exposure to air/light causes degradation over time, increasing viscosity. Store properly at 15–25 °C in the dark, reseal tightly after use, and shake well before printing. If the vat resin has been idle for more than a day, mix it before printing. Avoid temperatures below 20 °C and above 30 °C.

Signs include higher viscosity (thickening), separation that won’t mix even after shaking, or consistent print failures (e.g., poor adhesion or incomplete curing). Check the batch date. If mixing fails or issues persist, replace the resin.

Many imported resins suffer from inconsistent quality due to white-labeling or variable manufacturing. AmeraLabs develop, test, and bottle resins at their own ISO 13485 certified facility in Lithuania, EU with rigorous batch testing for consistency. This ensures reliable mechanical properties and predictable results without surprises.

Use the initial settings, calibrate with the AmeraLabs Town model, store resin at 15–25 °C, shake before use, and filter the vat if needed. Our resins offer excellent batch-to-batch consistency for professional work.

TGM-7 is the best fit for miniatures and tabletop gaming. It provides high detail capture, toughness, flexibility, and impact resistance for durable gaming minis. Check the printing guide for best results.

XVN-50 is ideal for engineering prototypes and functional parts, offering durability, flexibility, accuracy, and good surface finish. For rubber-like flexible parts (e.g., gaskets, seals, living hinges), consider FLX-300 (Shore 44A hardness, excellent rebound). Learn more about mechanical properties on our site.

DMD-21 and DMD-31 provide high accuracy and stability for dental models, orthodontic aligner models, diagnostic models, and wax-ups. GVA-26 works well for gingival masks (realistic appearance, Shore A 37 hardness).
