Material · ABS-like · SLA

ABS-like resin — tough SLA parts that feel real.

Engineered photopolymer that mimics the mechanical properties of injection-molded ABS. Good impact resistance, heat deflection ~60 °C, machinable, paintable. The go-to SLA resin for functional prototypes that need to survive drop-tests and repeated handling.

STATUSIN OPERATION

§ 01 / WHEN

When ABS-like over standard SLA resin

Standard SLA resins are brittle — parts snap instead of bending. For prototypes that will see actual handling (drop tests, assembly cycles, ergonomic evaluation), ABS-like's higher elongation (15% vs 6%) and impact resistance make it the practical choice.

The tradeoff: slightly rougher surface than Standard resin, and cost is about 30% higher. For visual-only prototypes, Standard wins on cost and finish. For anything functional, ABS-like wins.

§ 02 / APPLICATIONS

Applications

Functional housingsConsumer product prototypes that will be dropped, handled, shipped.

Snap-fit validationFeatures that need to flex without cracking. 15% elongation is enough for most snap designs.

Pre-injection prototypesParts that will later be injection-molded in ABS. Material properties close enough for design validation.

Machinable mastersDrill, tap, sand, paint. Takes post-processing better than brittle standard resin.
