| Process | SLA light-curing 3D printing (tough photosensitive resin) |
|---|---|
| Color | Yellow-green (easy to distinguish tough resin series; target color and texture can be achieved by painting) |
| Layer thickness | 0.05–0.10 mm (commonly used); 0.025 mm high-precision mode (increased lead time/cost) |

| Minimum wall thickness | Appearance non-structural ≥0.8–1.0 mm; general structure ≥1.2–1.5 mm; stress/near screws ≥2.0 mm |
| Minimum aperture | Direct forming hole ≥1.5–2.0 mm; it is recommended to reserve allowance for assembly holes/mating holes and ream/ream holes |
| Text/texture | The height of embossed characters is ≥0.4 mm; the depth of concave characters is ≥0.3 mm; the line width is ≥0.25–0.30 mm (larger is recommended for painting/vacuum plating parts) |
| Toughness/impact resistance | Compared with standard resin, it is more impact-resistant and less brittle; suitable for buckle verification and repeated trial assembly (it is still recommended to evaluate based on working conditions) |
| Tensile strength | 35–60 MPa (related to post-curing/placement direction) |
| Service temperature | About 70–90℃ (short-term verification is more stable; for sustained high temperatures, it is recommended to use high-temperature-resistant resin) |
| Surface roughness | Ra ~1–3 μm (related to layer thickness/direction); grinding + spray coating can further improve appearance consistency |
| Density | Approximately 1.1 g/cm³ |
| Recommended maximum unit size | Depends on equipment and placement; oversized pieces can be disassembled and spliced or other processes can be evaluated |
| Accuracy level | Standard accuracy / high accuracy (remark "key hole/critical surface/tolerance requirements" required) |
| Assembly enhancements | support Threaded inserts; Please indicate the thread specifications (such as M2/M3/M4), quantity and location; please note if tapping/expanding/reaming is required |
| Finishing | Polishing, painting, screen printing, vacuum plating, threaded inserts |
| Post-cure instructions | Post-curing can improve strength/dimensional stability; for buckle and elastic structures, it is recommended to base the evaluation and process strategy on the "assembly target" |
| Typical lead time | Related to size, quantity, placement and finishing; clear delivery and expedited options will be given after uploading the file |
Suitable for cleaning the appearance surface/assembly contact surface; it is recommended to keep a reasonable size margin on the buckle and mating surfaces to avoid excessive polishing that affects the fit.
It can be made into matte/semi-matte/high-gloss and other textures to enhance the finished product feel and consistency. It is recommended to provide reference drawings or clarify appearance goals.
Suitable for logos, scales and other graphic information; it is recommended to provide vector files and location and size instructions.
Used for metallic texture/reflective effect and visual enhancement; suitable for demonstration samples (subject to evaluation of base treatment and appearance standards).
Used for screw assembly and repeated disassembly; suitable for parts that require fixing, assembly verification or small batch assembly (please note the thread specifications, quantity and location).
It is less prone to brittleness and is suitable for prototypes and light-load functional parts that require "hands-on trial assembly/trialing".
More suitable for buckle verification, trial production of thin-walled structures and slender parts (it is still recommended to do DFM according to working conditions).
Taking into account detail presentation and surface quality, it is suitable for projects with mixed demands of "appearance + functional validation".
Supports grinding, painting, screen printing, and vacuum plating; optional when screw connection is required Threaded inserts Improve reliability.
| Material | Key Advantages | Mainly applicable | Not suitable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black SLA Resin (SLA) | The details and appearance are strong, suitable for display/review/photography; cost-friendly | Appearance prototypes, display parts, photographic samples, light load trial assembly | The buckle is repeatedly disassembled and assembled, and has high requirements for impact resistance/fatigue resistance. |
| White SLA Resin (SLA) | Strong versatility, good appearance, friendly finishing, suitable for rapid production of review parts | Appearance prototypes, review samples, assembly verification | High impact/high durability functional testing |
| Tough Resin – Yellow-Green | More impact-resistant and less brittle than standard resin; appearance and accuracy are still online | Snap verification, repeated assembly, thin-walled parts, appearance + functional prototype | Batch typesetting of wear-resistant long-term moving parts and complex structures (nylon is better) |
| Photosensitive resin high temperature-resistant - gray (SLA) | Stronger heat resistance and dimensional stability, suitable for thermal environment verification | Heat resistance testing, jigs and fixtures, functional samples close to heat sources | Repeated disassembly and assembly of buckles that require impact resistance/toughness (needs evaluation) |
| White Nylon (SLS) | The functional type is more stable, does not require support, and is suitable for complex structures and low- to medium-volume typesetting. | Structural validation, assembly parts, wear-resistant moving parts, small batch functional parts | Ultimate mirror appearance, ultra-high precision fit (requires secondary processing/process change) |
| HP Nylon & Fiberglass - Black (MJF GF) | Stronger rigidity and dimensional stability, suitable for load-bearing structural parts/positioning parts | Load-bearing structural parts, assembly positioning parts, functional parts with priority on dimensional stability | Fasteners that require a certain degree of elasticity/toughness (needs evaluation) |
It is more of a prototype solution of "appearance + certain toughness", and its common advantages are concentrated in:
If you are more concerned about long-term wear resistance and batch consistency, it is generally recommended to evaluate nylon (SLS/MJF) materials.
Standard resin is more "appearance + cost-friendly", while tough resin is more "appearance + more durable".
Tough resin is more suitable for buckle verification, but the "number of disassembly and assembly" depends on the buckle geometry, strain, force direction and wall thickness:
For long-term high-frequency disassembly and assembly, it is often recommended to evaluate nylon or injection molded material routes.
You can refer to the parameters on this page, and the key requirements marked in the drawings/notes shall prevail:
It is recommended to provide 2D markings or remarks "accuracy is priority/requires secondary reaming or reaming" for key holes/fitting holes, and we will evaluate and confirm separately.
We support mainstream 3D/2D project files:
It is recommended to provide priority STEP + 2D annotation, easy to confirm tolerances, assembly relationships and buckle/hole position requirements.
Common optional finishing:
If you want to be "close to the finished product", it is recommended to note: Reference image/target texture + appearance surface definition + acceptable trace standard.
Common traces of SLA include support points and slight layering. The key to controlling the appearance lies in placement and finishing:
Assembly verification can be done, but for "repeated tightening/disassembly" it is recommended to use threaded inserts to improve reliability:
Please note the thread specification (M2/M3/M4), quantity and location when placing an order.
Common risk structures:
Recommended practices:
This material is more suitable for verification at normal to medium temperatures. The temperature resistance is usually within 70–90℃ Scope (affected by formulation and post-curing).
If you have continuous high temperature or working conditions close to heat sources, it is recommended to directly choose High temperature-resistant resin Or note that the temperature profile is to be evaluated by the engineer.
Delivery time depends on structural complexity, quantity and finishing requirements:
If you need to expedite it, it is recommended to prioritize: Delivery time + appearance standards + whether finishing can be reduced, we will give feasible solutions.
