If you're in the 3D printing industry, you know that ensuring the strength and durability of your resin-based prints is essential for achieving optimal print quality. Our downloadable product for compression strength testing data for 3D resin provides comprehensive information about the compression strength of various 3D resin materials. By downloading this product, you'll have access to reliable and accurate data that can help you make informed decisions about which resin to use for your specific application.
Our compression strength measurements (kgf) for 3D resin include 60 measurements for uncured resin, 60 measurements for cured resin with a 30-minute curing time, and 31 sets of 5 measurements for resin that cured from raw (0 minutes) to 30 minutes, with 5 samples in each set.
The results of our tests provide valuable insights into the strength and durability of various 3D resin materials. By comparing the data with other brands/models, you can determine which resin is stronger and better suited for your application. We have also provided sample tests and summary graphs for your convenience.
Here is a list of the results:
One of the statistics we have included compares the raw and cured data, which shows that curing the resin increased the strength by 27%. The comparison graph of raw and cured resin also highlights that the cured resin generally exhibits higher strength compared to the uncured ones.
Moreover, our data on the effect of curing time on the strength of 3D resin demonstrates that resin needs to be cured for at least 15 minutes to achieve optimal strength. This information can help you optimize the curing process and ensure that your resin-based prints have the desired strength and durability.
Our testing methodology involved using square-shaped samples measuring 20 mm by 200 mm with a thickness of 1 mm, and a digital push-pull meter. For more information about the testing setup, please refer to the video provided.
In conclusion, our compression strength testing data for 3D resin provides valuable insights for achieving optimal print quality. With this information, you can make informed decisions about which resin to use and optimize the curing process to ensure that your resin-based prints are strong and durable.
