Differences and Characteristics of Resin, Nylon, and Sandstone Materials

Differences and Characteristics of Resin, Nylon, and Sandstone Materials

In the field of full-color 3D printing, resin, nylon, and sandstone materials each have their unique characteristics and are suited for different applications. Below is a brief comparison of these three materials:

1.Resin Material
  • Material Properties: Liquid photopolymer resin that solidifies under UV light exposure, offering high precision and smooth surfaces. It is suitable for models with high detail requirements, such as jewelry and prototypes.
  • Appearance: Smooth surface, clear details, vibrant colors, and never fades.
  • Cost: Moderately priced, but the cost of consumables like cleaning liquids and resin can be high, especially when printing large or complex models.
2.Nylon Material
  • Material Properties: High strength and good elasticity, with a high heat deflection temperature, making it ideal for durable models.
  • Appearance: Rough surface with a matte texture, and color finishing is more challenging.
  • Cost: Relatively high, especially for full-color nylon materials, but its performance makes it suitable for industrial and durable products.
3.Sandstone Material
  • Material Properties: Powder material bound together with a binder, with a textured surface, suitable for artistic and decorative items.
  • Appearance: Strong texture, resembling natural sandstone, ideal for vintage or artistic style creations.
  • Cost: Relatively low-cost with widely available materials, but costs can increase if high-quality sandstone powder and binder are required.

Sandstone Material VS Resin Material

Sandston Matrial:

  • Rougher surface
  • Fuzzy details
  • Not resistant to moisture
  • Prone to color fading

Resin Material:

  • Smooth surface
  • Rich in detail
  • Never fades
  • Up to 99% reproduction
