Resin
ABS-like Resin
Resin that mimics ABS — tough, impact-resistant and paintable for functional prototypes.
ABS-like resin combines the detail of resin printing with the toughness and impact resistance of ABS plastic. Used for functional prototypes, housings and parts that need to survive handling without shattering.

Print tips
Wash in IPA, post-cure 5–15 min under UV. Wear gloves. Longer cure increases strength but reduces flexibility.
Safety & food contact
Uncured resin is a skin irritant — wear nitrile gloves and ventilate.
Food contact: Not food-safe.
