Key parameter references
The following parameters come from product information and material knowledge fields, used for design review, quotation communication, and preliminary judgment before material selection.
| Material positioning | High-precision 3D printing materials suitable for appearance display, structural verification, assembly inspection, and rapid prototyping. |
|---|---|
| Precision performance | Standard Resin-White usually has good molding accuracy, making them suitable for ordinary appearance parts and structural verification parts. Actual accuracy is affected by part size, printing direction, support position, post-healing, cleaning, and post-processing methods. |
| Dimensional tolerances | Standard dimensional tolerances can refer to ± 0.10mm to ±0.30mm. Small-sized parts usually have better precision, while large-sized parts, thin-walled parts, slender parts, and complex structural parts may have greater dimensional deviations. It is recommended to reserve margin for precision assembly positions and perform post-processing if necessary. |
| Minimum Wall Thickness | It is recommended that the wall thickness be no less than 1.0mm. For small non-stressed appearances, localized areas can be about 0.8mm, but large-area use is not recommended. For ordinary structural parts, it is recommended to be above 1.2mm; for large components, it is recommended to be above 1.5mm. |
| Recommended wall thickness | For ordinary exterior parts, 1.2mm-2.0mm is recommended; parts requiring sanding, painting, or transport protection should be appropriately thickened; For large-size thin-shell parts, it is recommended to add reinforcing ribs to prevent deformation. |
| Minimum aperture | The recommended aperture is no less than 1.0mm. Small pores may become smaller due to resin residue, insufficient cleaning, or post-curing effects. It is recommended to reserve machining allowance for precision holes, screw holes, and assembly holes, and drill holes later if necessary. |
| Assembly clearance | For ordinary assembly, it is recommended to reserve 0.15mm-0.30mm on one side; for movable fits, it is recommended to reserve 0.30mm-0.50mm on one side; if painting is needed later, an additional gap of about 0.10mm-0.20mm should be added on one side. |
| Detailed performance | Raised text, fine textures, and decorative lines are recommended to be no less than 0.3mm-0.5mm. Details that are too small may weaken or disappear during printing, cleaning, sanding, or painting. |
| Surface effect | The original surface is delicate, with a color of white or milky white. After polishing and painting, it can achieve matte, glossy, metallic, rubber, and other finishes, making it suitable for customer displays, product photography, and appearance confirmation. |
Typical application scenarios
Based on material characteristics and suitable product ranges, customer needs are broken down into easier application directions to determine.
Product validation
Appearance prototypes, display models, structural verification parts, assembly verification parts, consumer electronics shell models, home appliance shell models, medical device appearance models, industrial product models, cultural and creative models, and small-batch samples.
Reasons for material selection
High-precision 3D printing materials suitable for appearance display, structural verification, assembly inspection, and rapid prototyping.
Material characteristics
White photosensitive resin printed parts have a smoother surface and weaker layering, making them suitable for appearance display and spray paint samples. It can quickly help customers verify product appearance, dimensions, hole positions, assembly relationships, and structural design, making it a highly efficient verification material from design drawings to physical samples.
Design and risk review
Based on wall thickness, hole position, assembly clearance, dimensional tolerances, and material usage risks, determine in advance whether the part structure is suitable for Standard Resin-White.
Design considerations
- It is recommended to avoid walls that are too thin during design
- Sharp angle
- Large thin flat areas and slender structures
- It is recommended to add fillets and reinforcing ribs to the load-bearing positions
- It is recommended to use embedded nuts for threaded connections
- The buckle structure should reduce deformation
- Avoid repeated disassembly and assembly
Precision performanceStandard Resin-White usually has good molding accuracy, making them suitable for ordinary appearance parts and structural verification parts. Actual accuracy is affected by part size, printing direction, support position, post-healing, cleaning, and post-processing methods.
Dimensional tolerancesStandard dimensional tolerances can refer to ± 0.10mm to ±0.30mm. Small-sized parts usually have better precision, while large-sized parts, thin-walled parts, slender parts, and complex structural parts may have greater dimensional deviations. It is recommended to reserve margin for precision assembly positions and perform post-processing if necessary.
Quality riskThe main risk with white photosensitive resin is not whether it prints, but rather the impact of thin walls, large parts, snaps, threads, assembly gaps, and post-processing on the final result. When the design is reasonable, the appearance and verification results are good; If the design is too thin or subjected to excessive force, it is prone to cracking or deformation.
Surface effectThe original surface is delicate, with a color of white or milky white. After polishing and painting, it can achieve matte, glossy, metallic, rubber, and other finishes, making it suitable for customer displays, product photography, and appearance confirmation.
Post-processing and assembly precautions
Post-processing of Standard Resin-White affects appearance, dimensions, hole position, assembly clearance, and usage validation results, and should be explained in advance during quotation, DFM review, and sample confirmation stages.
Post-processing options
Post-processing should focus on appearance display, dimensional fitting, connection assembly, and testing verification. Parts involving assembly positions need to be reserved in advance for machining, coating, and trial assembly allowances.
Key control point
Size impactGrinding slightly reduces local dimensions; Painting increases surface thickness; Tapping and embedded nuts affect hole position and local strength; Positions involving assembly need to be reserved in advance for clearance
Assembly clearanceFor positions involving snapping, plugging, sliding, or enclosure closure, the clearance needs to be adjusted according to post-processing thickness, material shrinkage, and trial assembly results.
Hole Position StrengthThreading, inserting nuts, locking screws, and the areas around positioning holes need to ensure wall thickness to avoid cracks, stripped threads, or chipped edges during post-processing or assembly.
Environmental matchingWhen used in high-temperature, outdoor, humid, friction, or load-bearing scenarios, post-processing materials, adhesives, coatings, and fasteners must also meet the corresponding usage environment.
Structure and usage boundaries
For common issues such as threads, snaps, strength, temperature resistance, and weather resistance, identify in advance whether the material needs to be replaced or if another processing method should be used.
Thread Recommendation
Applicable ScopeIt can be used for low-strength tapping verification, but it is not recommended to directly print high-strength threads or frequently remove and install threads.
Risk pointIf reliable connections are needed, it is recommended to use embedded copper nuts or post-processed threads.
Recommended practiceIt is recommended to confirm wall thickness, fillets, assembly clearances, and post-processing effects in advance during drawing review, and to switch to more suitable materials or processes if necessary.
Buckle recommendation
Applicable ScopeOrdinary white photosensitive resin is not suitable for high-frequency snap-on structures.
Risk pointIf a snap must be designed, add rounded corners, thicken the root, reduce deformation, and preferably use it for one-time or low-frequency assembly verification.
Recommended practiceIt is recommended to confirm wall thickness, fillets, assembly clearances, and post-processing effects in advance during drawing review, and to switch to more suitable materials or processes if necessary.
Strength and Environment
Mechanical strengthMedium strength, relatively high hardness, but average toughness.
Environmental boundarySuitable for visual verification, dimensional verification, and low-strength structural verification; not recommended for long-term load-bearing or high-impact functional parts.
Recommended practiceOrdinary white photosensitive resin has average temperature resistance and is recommended for use in ambient environments. It is not suitable for long-term exposure to high-temperature environments and is not recommended for final functional parts near heat sources. Prolonged UV exposure may cause yellowing, aging, or brittleness. If used for display pieces or with high requirements for appearance color, it is recommended to apply painting or surface protection treatment.
Alternative material selection and final judgment
When customer demand exceeds Standard Resin-White material boundaries, it is necessary to combine strength, temperature resistance, toughness, long-term stability, and mass production goals to promptly recommend alternative materials or processing technologies.
Alternative material suggestions
If higher toughness is required, tough photosensitive resin can be chosen; If near-ABS performance is needed, ABS resins can be chosen; If better functional performance is required, nylon Nylon (PA)12 can be chosen; If you need performance closer to mass-produced plastics, CNC is an option ABS、CNC Acetal (POM)； If high strength is required, CNC aluminum alloy can be chosen.
Material selection suggestions
If customers mainly care about appearance, details, and prototyping speed, white photosensitive resin is a suitable choice. If customers care about strength, temperature resistance, impact resistance, or long service life, priority should be given to tough resin, nylon, CNC plastic, or metal processing.
