Next-generation 3D resins organized for performance-driven selection across rigid, tough, foldable, flexible and elastic functional photopolymers.
This collection supports comparison of the full NextGen platform according to thermal resistance, hardness, stiffness, elongation and overall mechanical behaviour for engineering and functional workflows.
Navigate by: performance family, target behaviour, thermal resistance or required balance between rigidity, toughness and flexibility.
Select the grade according to workflow priority and validate the final resin choice for the intended printer, exposure settings and application criticality.
Engineering-oriented NextGen material platform
This collection is structured for users comparing high-temperature rigid systems, structural tough grades and flexible or elastic materials within a single engineering framework.
It supports functional prototyping, engineering validation, material benchmarking and performance-driven resin selection workflows based on real mechanical behaviour rather than naming alone.
Choosing the right functional resin matters
Next-generation engineering materials offer a balance between performance, reliability and cost, but correct selection depends on application, mechanical behaviour and process control.
Use our structured decision guide to identify the most suitable material family for your workflow.

Decision guide
How to choose the right NextGen material
Select the most suitable material according to mechanical behaviour and thermal resistance rather than by hardness alone.
Decision guide
-
Need maximum heat resistance and rigidity → choose R290D90, R190D90 or R140D90
-
Need structural toughness with high strength → choose TD90 or TD80
-
Need semi-rigid or foldable behaviour → choose TD80/TFD80, TFD80, TFD70 or TFD30
-
Need soft flexible behaviour → choose TFA80, TFA70, TFA60, FA50, FA40 or FA30
-
Need very high elasticity → choose EA20 or SEA10
Workflow principle
Performance comparison depends on functional response in service
These materials should be selected by combining thermal resistance, stiffness, strength and allowable deformation according to the actual part function.
The NextGen platform is best interpreted as a structured engineering system for functional prototype selection, material benchmarking and performance-driven design validation.
Not sure if this is the right performance level?
Next generation engineering resins balance toughness, rigidity, thermal resistance and printability for functional parts and advanced prototyping.
They are ideal when standard materials are insufficient, but full thermoplastic-like performance is not required.

NextGen material comparison table
Use the table below to compare the currently visible products in this collection by key thermomechanical and mechanical properties.
Mobile: scroll horizontally to view all columns. The first column remains visible while scrolling.
Mechanical properties can vary depending on light wavelength and power, printer settings, post-curing conditions, post-processing and the overall workflow used to produce the final part.
These NextGen materials should be understood as a structured engineering platform for selecting performance by functional behaviour. Final suitability must always be validated for the intended geometry, loading condition, temperature range and manufacturing workflow.
