Advanced Resin Systems for Additive Manufacturing

3Dresyns develops advanced, made-to-order 3D printing resins designed for direct and indirect additive manufacturing across a wide range of technologies, materials and applications.

Our resin platforms go beyond conventional photopolymers. They are engineered to enable functional performance, process reliability and integration with downstream manufacturing steps, including debinding, sintering, casting, molding and injection.

This page provides a structured overview of our 3D resin families, their role within additive manufacturing workflows, and how they connect to specific technologies and applications.


What Makes 3Dresyns 3D Resins Different

3Dresyns resins are not off-the-shelf products. They are engineered material systems developed to meet specific process and performance requirements.

Key differentiators include:

  • Compatibility with most open and closed 3D printing platforms

  • Designed for SLA, DLP, LCD, Inkjet, Volumetric AM and hybrid processes

  • Support for direct and indirect additive manufacturing routes

  • Tunable curing behavior, viscosity and mechanical properties

  • Water-soluble, solvent-soluble and debindable formulations

  • Integration with ceramic, metal, polymer and composite materials

  • Bio-based and eco-friendly resin options


Classification of 3Dresyns 3D Resins

Our 3D resins are classified according to their function within the manufacturing process, not just by printer type.


1. Resins for Direct Additive Manufacturing

These resins are designed for direct 3D printing of functional parts, where the printed geometry represents the final or near-final component.

Typical applications include:

  • Functional polymer parts

  • Direct printing of ceramic and metal parts (followed by debinding and sintering)

  • High-resolution technical components

  • Micro- and nano-fabrication

Resin families for Direct AM

  • Photopolymer resins for SLA, DLP and LCD printing

  • Resins for Inkjet and material jetting

  • Ceramic- and metal-filled photopolymer resins

  • Photoreactive resins for Two-Photon Polymerization (2PP)

  • Resins for viscous and hot lithography

  • Resins for volumetric additive manufacturing (VAM)

  • Solid photoreactive binders for Lithography-based Metal Manufacturing (LMM)


2. Resins for Indirect Additive Manufacturing

In indirect additive manufacturing, 3D printed parts act as tools, molds or patterns, while the final part is produced using conventional manufacturing processes.

3Dresyns is particularly specialized in resins for indirect AM, where debinding behavior, dimensional stability and removal strategy are critical.

Resin families for Indirect AM

  • Water-soluble sacrificial resins

  • Solvent-soluble sacrificial resins

  • Burnable and castable resins

  • Meltable resins

  • Easy-breakable cocoon systems

  • Durable resins for reusable molds

  • Resins for injection and casting in 3D printed molds

These resins enable:

  • Ceramic Injection Molding (CIM)

  • Metal Injection Molding (MIM)

  • Investment casting

  • Hybrid AM + conventional manufacturing workflows


3. Functional, Bio-Based and Specialty Resins

In addition to structural resins, 3Dresyns develops functional and specialty resin systems for advanced and emerging applications.

These include:

  • Water-soluble and eco-friendly resins

  • Bio-based photopolymer resins

  • UV and visible-light curable adhesives

  • Light-curable gels, putties, fillers and sealants

  • Resins for bioplotting and bioprinting

  • Multi-wavelength and photo-accelerated resin systems


Customization and Made-to-Order Resin Development

A core strength of 3Dresyns is the ability to customize resin formulations.

Resins can be tailored for:

  • Specific printers or light sources (UV, visible, multi-wavelength)

  • Target viscosity and curing kinetics

  • Mechanical, thermal or chemical performance

  • Debinding and sintering behavior

  • Compatibility with specific powders, fillers or fibers

This approach supports R&D, prototyping and industrial scale-up using a consistent material platform.


How 3Dresyns Supports Your Resin-Based AM Project

3Dresyns supports customers through:

  • Resin selection and formulation

  • Custom material development

  • Process optimization and troubleshooting

  • Integration with downstream manufacturing steps

  • Technology transfer from lab to production

Our role is not only to supply resins, but to enable reliable additive manufacturing processes.


Final Note

Choosing the right 3D resin is critical to the success of any additive manufacturing application.

      About our bio-based 3Dresyns

      We have the broadest range of safe bio-based and biocompatible 3D resins in the market. The basic components of our bio-based 3Dresyns are safe and “green” since are based on natural biological derivatives "bioplastics", which are functionalized to react with light. Our Bio-based 3Dresyns exhibit similar mechanical properties as their synthetic counterparts.

      Monomer Free 3Dresyns

      3Dresyns is the only supplier offering ultra safe Monomer Free MF 3D resins as supplied. Our Monomer Free 3Dresyns are ultra safe since do not contain any monomers. Monomers due to their low viscosity can be absorbed by the skin and mucous membrane, when they are not fully cured and properly post processed, causing skin and mucosa irritation, and other hazards. Some toxic monomers can even cause damage to organs if leach out. Learn more: Potential health problems of monomer based 3D resins
