The world of innovation in 3D printing has taken great strides forward in recent years. One type of 3D printer that has received a lot of attention is resin printers. These impressive machines have the ability to create detailed and high-resolution objects with a level of precision previously difficult to achieve. In this journal entry, we will explore resin printers in detail and examine why they are so exciting for hobbyists and professional users alike.

What is a Resin printer?

A resin printer, or stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer, uses a liquid resin (a type of plastic) as a material instead of the traditional filaments used in Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printers. The big difference here is that resin printers use a light-curing technique to solidify the material in layers, while FDM printers build the objects layer by layer by melting plastic filaments. 3D Prima has a very wide range of different resin types, so you are guaranteed to find something that suits you.
