You've probably come across the terms resin printing and FDM printing on our site before. Here, we'd like to briefly introduce both processes so you can decide which one is best for you.

Resin printing:

Resin prints are made with UV resin. We exclusively use ABS resin for our figures. Resin allows for exceptionally clean rendering of the finest details and is also significantly more durable than standard resin. Compared to FDM printing, considerably less post-processing is required. It is therefore particularly suitable for figures, jewelry, finely detailed objects, transparent prints, and more. Unfortunately, this printing method limits us to a maximum size of 29 x 29 x 18 cm. However, larger resin prints are possible if they are printed in multiple parts and later assembled. Here is an example image of one of our resin prints:

Here we show you the production process of a resin print. We carefully prepare all our resin prints before they reach the customer. Our hollow prints are cured both externally and internally. We also ensure a smooth print surface, without any hard sanding marks.

Should we happen to experience any quality issues with a delivery, please feel free to contact us :).

FDM printing:

FDM prints are significantly more stable than resin prints and are made of plastic. The FDM printer prints objects by layering multiple small plastic lines that fuse together, gradually creating the object. Unfortunately, this printing technique isn't nearly as precise and clean as resin printers for smaller scales, such as figures. However, it handles larger objects (e.g., 1:6 scale model horses or large busts) without any issues. The disadvantage of this printing method is definitely the post-processing required (the small printing grooves remain visible after printing). To achieve a completely smooth surface, a lot of sanding is necessary, and you may also need to use spray filler (which drastically reduces sanding time). Once this work is done, however, FDM prints are very smooth. We always provide our FDM prints pre-finished, so you don't have to do all the sanding yourself :).

Here are sample images of an FDM print we made:
