Resin printing service in Newcastle
Resin printing (SLA/DLP/MSLA) cures liquid photopolymer resin layer by layer with light, producing far finer detail and a smoother surface than FDM — ideal for miniatures and terrain, jewellery casting patterns, small figurines, dental/orthodontic models and other high-detail small parts. Standard, tough, flexible and castable resins cover most jobs; castable resin is used to make a pattern that is then cast in metal. Send an STL or 3MF, expected size and quantity, and mention if the part will be handled a lot (tough resin) or needs to be cast. Prints need washing and UV curing after printing, which adds a little time versus FDM, so turnaround is typically a few business days depending on the printer's build volume and how many parts are batched together. Pricing is quoted per job based on resin volume, print and post-processing time — ask what resin type is included and whether support-mark clean-up is part of the price.

FAQ
Resin printing — common questions
What is resin printing best for?
Small, highly detailed parts — miniatures and wargaming terrain, jewellery and casting patterns, figurines, dental and orthodontic models, and prototypes where surface finish matters more than raw strength or size.
Is resin stronger than FDM plastic?
Standard resin is more brittle than FDM plastics like PETG; tough or ABS-like resins close the gap for parts that get handled. For large structural or load-bearing parts, FDM or another process is usually the better fit — mention the part's job in your brief and the maker can advise.
How big a part can be resin printed?
Build volumes are smaller than most FDM printers, so resin suits small-to-medium parts; a maker can split a larger design into printed sections if needed. Ask about their printer's build plate size for your specific dimensions.
Do I need to do anything with the print after it arrives?
No — washing and UV curing are part of the print service. If you asked for supports left minimal for casting, mention that up front so the maker knows how to orient and support the print.
