Prof. Lab Resin ABS-like, Skin
Prof. Lab Resin ABS-like in the
Skin (skin tone/skin color) shade is a versatile photopolymer resin for
MSLA/LCD/UV 3D printers (405 nm), designed to closely replicate the properties of classic
ABS plastic – namely high toughness, reduced brittleness, and good dimensional stability. Its skin tone makes it ideal for printing
figurines, busts, characters, prosthetic and anatomical models, as well as decorative and technical parts.
Key benefits
- ABS-like mechanical properties – higher toughness and resistance to cracking compared to standard brittle resins.
- Pleasant skin tone – suitable for character models, cosplay accessories, figurines, and realistic prototypes.
- High print resolution – very fine details, smooth surfaces, and sharp edges, even on small models.
- Dimensional accuracy – low shrinkage during curing, suitable for functional prototypes and assemblies.
- Good balance between rigidity and flexibility – parts are less likely to crack during assembly, screwing, or snapping into place.
- Compatible with most LCD/UV printers (405 nm) – suitable for popular desktop resin printers.
Recommended applications
- Figurines, busts, and characters in a realistic skin tone
- Decorative and presentation models (for industrial and product design)
- Functional prototypes with increased mechanical durability
- Cosplay models and props (handles, armor parts, decorative elements)
- Prototype housings and covers replacing ABS in small production runs
Recommended print settings (approximate)
Specific values may vary depending on the printer type, UV LED power, layer height, and ambient conditions. Use them as a starting point and fine-tune them based on your own tests.
- Wavelength: 405 nm (standard for most desktop resin printers)
- Layer height: 0,025–0,05 mm for high detail, 0,05–0,1 mm for standard printing
- Exposure time (normal layers): approx. 2–4 s at 0,05 mm (depending on the printer)
- Exposure time (bottom layers): 25–40 s (3–6 bottom layers)
- Ambient temperature: ideally 20–25 °C
Postprocessing
- Rinsing – after printing, rinse the model in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or a suitable cleaning solution for resin.
- Drying – allow the model to dry or gently blow it with compressed air.
- Post-curing – cure in a UV chamber (405 nm) for approximately 5–10 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of the part.
- Final finishing – surfaces can be sanded, filled, and painted similarly to ABS or other plastics.
Safety and storage
- This is a chemical product; always use gloves and eye protection and work in a well-ventilated area.
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes; uncured resin is irritating.
- Store in a dark and cool place, ideally at 15–25 °C.
- Protect from direct sunlight and UV radiation.
Summary
Prof. Lab Resin ABS-like, Skin is a versatile and affordable resin for users who need a
combination of a visually attractive skin tone and more mechanically durable “ABS-like” behavior. It is ideal for both
model makers and figurine creators, as well as
technicians and engineers looking for a reliable material for prototypes and small functional parts created on desktop resin 3D printers.
Key features:
- ABS-like resin with higher toughness and lower brittleness than standard resins
- Skin tone ideal for printing figurines, busts, and realistic character models
- Very fine details and a smooth surface for presentation and collectible models
- Low shrinkage and good dimensional stability for functional prototypes
- Compatible with most desktop LCD/MSLA printers with 405 nm UV LED
- Can be mechanically processed – sanding, drilling, filling, and painting
- Balanced ratio of price, mechanical properties, and surface quality
