Plastics & resins
Plastic 3D printing materials: nylon, resins and engineering plastics
From functional nylon parts to resin appearance models and clear parts, VEYSEN prints in a range of plastics and resins. Each group below lists the technology, build size and specifications.
MJF · SLS
Nylon
MJF · SLS
PA12 nylon
Tough and durable. It suits functional parts, housings, snap fits and jigs.
Colours: black, white · Build size up to 380 × 300 × 380 mm
MJF · SLS
PA12+GF glass-fibre-filled nylon
Glass fibre adds stiffness, for parts that need to be more rigid.
Colour: grey, can be dyed black · Build size up to 600 × 330 × 330 mm
SLA · DLP
Resins
SLA
ABS-like resin
A fine surface for appearance models and fit checks.
Colours: white, black
SLA
Transparent / translucent resin
For clear covers and parts where you need to see inside. With polishing and post-processing, clear resin 3D printing can reach about 80% of the transparency of glass.
SLA
High-temperature resin
For parts exposed to heat. Heat deflection temperature is 70°C for the beige resin and 80–100°C for the grey.
Colours: beige, grey
DLP
Red wax resin
High precision and easy to sand, with a 0.016 mm layer height. It suits small detailed models and jewellery, and it is suitable for casting.
SLA resins print up to 1400 × 700 × 500 mm. Red wax resin prints up to 250 × 140 × 230 mm.

A dash (—) means no value is available.
Values are typical data-sheet values for reference. Actual results depend on part geometry and print settings.
Surface and post-processing
Every part gets the necessary post-processing, and supports and support marks are removed. Some layer lines will still be visible. Polishing, sandblasting and painting are available on request.
