Daily Tip #105 Just because a material isn't FDA approved doesn't mean it won't work for your application. There are several resins we use that have been proven "skin safe" for example. #3DPrinting#Resinprinting#manufacturing#massproduction#OEM visit https://zurl.co/bEIl1

Daily Tip #104 Suppliers like bulk orders. You can receive major discounts for such orders, but they have to typically be in excess of 124 KG's at a time. #3DPrinting#Resinprinting#manufacturing#massproduction#injectionmold#OEM#additivemanufacturing visit https://zurl.co/9GyMW

Daily Tip #103 The need for compensation varies from material to material: Just because you successfully printed a part in one material doesn't mean the settings will work in another. #3DPrinting #Resinprinting#massproduction#spartandefense visit https://zurl.co/zf4xI

Daily Tip #102 To achieve prints within a specific tolerance, compensation needs to happen in the 3D model, the print settings, or a combination of both.

Daily Tip #101 Don't spend too much time manually hollowing parts for resin printing. Some slicers, like Photocentric slicer, hollow parts automatically. #3DPrinting#Resinprinting#manufacturing#manufacturer#massproduction#OEM #additivemanufacturing visit https://zurl.co/7ljuE

Daily Tip #100 Before mass producing in a select material, test how it behaves after being submerged in water, especially if your application is wet. Different resins absorb water in different quantities. Some resins aren't affected by water; some are. #FullFrameOutdoors

Daily Tip #99 On a Resin TDS there is often a rating for rigidity and durability. Consider both carefully. Just because a resin is rigid, doesn't mean it is durable. Using that resin would be like making a hammer from glass: it is rigid, but it will shatter on impact.

Daily Tip #98 An elephant's foot is a distortion in the layers when building directly off the build plate and/or light leaks. Consider using rafts or x-y offset adjustments to eliminate the elephant's foot. #3DPrinting #Resinprinting#massproduction visit https://zurl.co/xdsc0

Daily Tip #97 Resins shrink. Plastics do too. The TDS can tell how much a resin shrinks. Use the shrinkage compensation in your slicer to dial in the accuracy of your prints. #3DPrinting #Resinprinting #manufacturing #manufacturer #massproduction visit https://zurl.co/auEmF
