Casting Resin
As one of the most popular materials in the industry, casting resin is a clear solution for numerous applications. Whether you are a designer looking for highly detailed parts with exceptional clarity and water resistance, or an engineer focused on functional testing for durability, casting resins can mimic the look and feel of clear thermoplastics such as ABS and PBT.

Painting
Finish options
Glossy and matte paint finishes available
Best for
Adding custom color and a protective paint layer to Casting Resin parts for appearance and display models.
Note
Validate paint adhesion, masking boundaries, and coating coverage on Casting Resin before production, especially around interfaces, edges, and fine details.
Silk Screening
Print method
Single- or multi-color graphics on flat or gently curved surfaces
Best for
Applying logos, labels, or functional graphics to flat areas of Casting Resin parts used for appearance and display models.
Note
Confirm printable area, ink adhesion, and graphic registration on Casting Resin before production.
Vacuum Plating
Finish options
Glossy and matte plated finishes available
Best for
Creating a reflective metallic finish on Casting Resin parts for appearance and display models and appearance-led builds.
Note
Confirm line-of-sight coverage, masking, and plating adhesion on Casting Resin before production.
Polishing
Surface result
Smoother, glossier visible surfaces where geometry allows
Best for
Improving smoothness and gloss on Casting Resin parts used for appearance and display models, where geometry permits.
Note
Confirm edge retention and dimensional impact on Casting Resin; fine features may soften during polishing.
Clear / Transparency Treatment
Optical result
Improved translucency or transparency for clear materials
Best for
Improving light transmission on Casting Resin parts for appearance and display models and transparent visual models.
Note
Validate optical clarity, masking, and thickness uniformity on Casting Resin; transparency depends on geometry and treatment.

Related & Alternative Materials
SLA · Resins
Standard Resin (White)
SLA · White
Standard Resin (white) has excellent surface details and pure white texture. It is one of the most commonly used resin materials and has excellent dimensional accuracy. This material is suitable for pipe parts, fasteners, electronic product casings, automobile casings and instrument panel components, etc. that require high toughness and heat resistance. Prints come offline and are ready to use, with a matte finish, opaque appearance and precise detail.
SLA · Resins
High Detail Resin (Brown)
SLA · Brown
High Detail Resin is a rigid, opaque, photosensitive liquid polymer. The material prints with extremely thin layer thicknesses (32 μm), producing highly accurate and detailed parts, often without the need for complex post-processing. The resin is in a brown opaque liquid state and has excellent detail expression, making it very suitable for printing art sculpture products.
