One morning at work, Mr. Wang contacted us: \u201cDo you have any 3D resin that can reduce post-processing work?\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Wang is a procurement manager at a prototype modeling company with three years of experience. His company recently received an order for rapid prototyping of precision structural parts using LCD 3D printing technology. The client demanded high surface quality and dimensional accuracy, specifically emphasizing that post-processing marks should not be noticeable and assembly gaps must be controlled within 0.1\u202fmm.<\/p>\n

The engineers initially recommended a certain imported high-precision 3D resin. However, that material required extensive support structures during 3D printing, and removing them, sanding, and filling could take up to two hours per prototype. Additionally, the imported resin had long lead times and high costs, which the company could not afford.<\/p>\n

Mr. Wang then tried a local 3D print material supplier, who confidently claimed to reduce post-processing work. One month later, the production supervisor reported that the support points left severe residues, the surface still showed white marks after sanding, and some thin-walled parts had dimensional deviations, requiring redesign. Three months later, a batch of prototypes returned from the client due to poor surface roughness. The original supplier explained: \u201cThis 3D resin has a high shrinkage rate, and we are not experts in support design.\u201d Frustrated, Mr. Wang had to keep looking for a new material supplier.<\/p>\n

His boss warned, \u201cLabor costs for post-processing are already 20% over budget. If we can\u2019t find the right material, this order will be a loss.\u201d<\/p>\n

While searching online for \u201clow-support, high-precision 3D printing resin,\u201d Mr. Wang discovered NextShapes. He noted that NextShapes had been supplying ICD 3D printing technology partners and a well-known DLP 3D printer manufacturer for three consecutive years, so he left an inquiry: \u201cOrdinary 3D resin requires too much post-processing. Can your NextShapes Red Wax Resin really reduce post-processing work? I need at least a 50% reduction in post-processing time and a surface that requires no secondary treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was clear Mr. Wang had already been exhausted by post-processing issues.<\/p>\n

Based on the sample 3D model, printer specifications (a domestic 12K DLP printer), and post-processing workflow he provided, NextShapes engineers found that the Hight Resolution 12K Pro version of the Red Wax Resin was very similar to a resin they supplied six months ago to a precision mold company in Ningbo. That company printed jewelry wax models using 3D printed methods and required easy-to-remove supports and surfaces that could be polished directly without sanding. NextShapes customized the formula and achieved \u201csupports that fall off with a touch, surface roughness Ra \u2264 0.8\u202f\u03bcm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Excited by this case, Mr. Wang requested that NextShapes customize Red Wax Resin to match the imported high-precision 3D resin. I told him: \u201cNextShapes doesn\u2019t chase the \u2018most advanced\u2019 material parameters. But in terms of reducing post-processing work, it must match or even surpass imported resins.\u201d NextShapes then optimized the resin in three key areas.<\/p>\n

Forty-five days later, a sample of the Hight Resolution 12K Pro Red Wax Resin arrived at Mr. Wang\u2019s company. Three months later, he emailed:
\n\u201cYesterday, production reported that prototypes printed with NextShapes Red Wax required about 40% fewer supports. Support points come off easily, and any residual marks can be wiped away with a few strokes of sandpaper. The surface requires almost no sanding and can be painted directly. Post-processing time per piece dropped from 2 hours to under 40 minutes. If there are no issues in the next month, we\u2019ll designate this resin as our standard material.\u201d<\/p>\n

The three key advantages of NextShapes Red Wax Resin that allow it to dramatically reduce post-processing are:<\/p>\n
