Multivariable and Multifunctional Photopolymer Resin Systems

3Dresyns resin systems are multivariable by design. Depending on the selected configuration, a given system may vary in:

• viscosity and flow behavior

• color and pigmentation

• printing speed and exposure sensitivity

• mechanical, thermal or surface properties

• functional additives and performance modifiers

• compatibility with different printer technologies

These variables are managed within defined formulation boundaries to preserve consistency, traceability and reproducibility.

Uni-functional and multifunctional resin systems

3Dresyns distinguishes between uni-functional and multifunctional resin systems.

Uni-functional systems are optimized to deliver a focused set of properties with minimal configuration complexity. They are typically selected when robustness, simplicity and reproducibility are the primary requirements.

Multifunctional systems allow the addition of one or more functional modifiers to tailor performance, such as enhanced toughness, conductivity, surface behavior, optical properties or processing speed. These systems offer broader design flexibility at the cost of increased process sensitivity.

Versions, SKUs and controlled configurability

A 3Dresyns product defines a resin system, not a single material state. Specific configurations of that system are identified through versions and SKUs.

Versions may reflect differences in viscosity, printer compatibility, speed optimization or performance balance. SKUs define deliverable configurations within those versions, ensuring controlled selection and traceability.

This structure allows a large design space to be managed coherently without creating redundant products.

Lot numbers and traceability

Lot numbers provide traceability across production, formulation and quality control.

Each lot corresponds to a defined formulation state within validated tolerances. This enables reproducibility while allowing controlled evolution and continuous improvement of resin systems over time.

Expiration dates and validated performance window

Expiration dates define the validated time window during which a resin system is expected to perform according to its reference configuration when stored and handled correctly.

Performance outside this window may change due to aging, contamination or environmental exposure and is not covered by typical performance descriptions.

Algorithms and data-assisted development

The development and evolution of multivariable resin systems are supported by algorithm-assisted and data-driven methodologies.

These tools are used to analyze trends, correlations and sensitivities across large sets of formulation, processing and testing data. They support scalability and consistency but do not replace experimental validation or physical testing where required.

Typical values and reference configurations

Reported material properties correspond to typical responses obtained under defined reference configurations and qualified workflows.

Because multiple configurations are possible, reported values should be interpreted as guidance rather than intrinsic material constants. Users are responsible for validating performance under their specific processing conditions.

Implications for product pages and documentation

Because 3Dresyns materials are configurable systems, product pages describe the formulation framework and application scope rather than a single fixed material.

Detailed performance depends on the selected version, SKU, printer technology, processing parameters and post-processing workflow.

Instructions for Use and application-specific documentation define qualified workflows and must be followed to achieve expected performance.

Governing principle

3Dresyns photopolymer materials are multivariable, configurable systems, not fixed formulations.

Products define resin systems and application scopes. Versions and SKUs define specific configurations. Reported properties represent typical performance under reference conditions. Final behavior depends on formulation selection and processing workflow.
