Resin based 3D printing, known as Sterolithography (SLA), is a photographic process. What is true of black and white film photography is also true of SLA printing. Because that what it is – high contrast black and white photos all stacked together. And resin is liquid photographic film!
We created our resin to be easy to use, with a minimum of odor and settle-out. That being said a good practice is to mix Roxel3D resin before each use.
It is easy to do with our flexible packaging: a through mix can be had by squeezing the bag in a couple of spots, alternating rapidly back and forth letting the resin flow around.
Don’t forget to have the cap completely closed before mixing to prevent spills. And don’t forget to enjoy squishing the bag!
Whether it is drawn with a laser or a projected image or a mask, all SLA is high contrast black and white photography. Where enough light reaches the resin, it cures. Where is does not, it does not cure.
