Nylon-Like Resin

Functional Resins
Impact resistantHigh detailDurableStrong

Nylon-like resin is a tough, flexible photopolymer engineered to resemble nylon's characteristic ductility, bending under stress rather than cracking, with noticeably higher elongation and impact resistance than standard resin. It occupies similar territory to tough resin, and is generally aimed at functional prototypes and mechanical parts that need to survive handling and moderate stress. It should be noted that resin is a fundamentally different chemistry from true nylon, and even nylon-like formulations tend to be more brittle and less impact-resistant than actual nylon printed via FDM or SLS. Real nylon remains the better choice for parts facing high loads, frequent impacts, or long-term wear. Nylon-like resin suits functional prototypes, snap-fit parts, and mechanical components where added flexibility and toughness matter more than fine surface detail.

Resin parts have a smooth surface with fine layer lines that are typically not very noticeable. The surface has a natural, semi-matte texture rather than a glossy shine, and marks from support removal can still be visible.
