Is Durable Resin strong enough for end-use functional parts?
Durable Resin is designed primarily for prototyping but is strong enough for many light-duty functional applications. Its PP-like flexibility and impact strength make it ideal for hinges, clips, jigs, fixtures, and moving mechanisms.
Does Durable Resin behave like polypropylene (PP) during bending and snapping?
Yes. Durable Resin is specifically engineered to mimic the flexible, impact-resistant behavior of PP. It bends smoothly and resists cracking, making it suitable for snap-fit joints, spring-like mechanisms, and consumer product prototypes. XC Machining uses Durable Resin when clients need realistic flex performance before committing to injection molding.
Can Durable Resin withstand heat or outdoor exposure?
Durable Resin performs well under normal indoor conditions but has a lower heat deflection temperature compared to engineering resins like Tough 2000 or Rigid 10K. Prolonged exposure to sunlight or temperatures above 70–80°C can cause deformation or discoloration.
Can Durable Resin be tapped, threaded, or machined after printing?
Yes. Durable Resin can be drilled, tapped, countersunk, or CNC-finished for improved accuracy. It supports both printed threads and post-installed brass threaded inserts. XC Machining often uses a hybrid approach, SLA printing followed by CNC finishing, to achieve precise tolerances and professional-grade fitment.
Does Durable Resin require additional post-curing to reach full strength?
Durable Resin does require UV post-curing to achieve its intended mechanical properties, but over-curing can lead to brittleness. XC Machining uses balanced cure cycles optimized for flexibility, toughness, and long-term durability.
