Plant-Based Resin

Eco-friendly resin made from plant oils — lower odor and bio-based, for display models.

Plant-based (bio) resin is formulated from renewable plant oils instead of petroleum. It offers lower odor and a smaller environmental footprint while printing like standard resin. Used for figurines, art and display models.
