Resin SLA - FAQ

Q1How is resin 3D printing cost calculated?

Resin printing costs include liquid photopolymer resin volume ($/mL), support volume (typically 15%–25% extra), Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) wash bath degradation, disposable nitrile gloves, FEP/ACF vat release film wear, LCD mono screen amortization, and UV cure station electricity.

Q2How much cheaper is a hollowed resin model compared to solid?

Hollowing a resin model with a 1.5mm to 2.0mm wall thickness reduces liquid resin consumption by 50% to 75% for medium and large models.
