Siraya Tech Blu Resin - Emerald Green-Blue 1 Litre

When looking at the difference between FDM/FFF Printing with 3D Filaments and the more modern DLP & SLA Printing with 3D Resins, it’s quite obvious even at a glance that 3D Resin Printing is definitely capable of a much higher level of quality and precision, and this is primarily due to the fact that instead of relying on heated particles, it uses optics and UV light along with high resolution masking displays or precision lasers to cure UV Reactive Resins with extreme accuracy. However, while 3D resins are typically capable of achieving a higher level of print “quality”, the mechanical strengths of 3D Resins often can’t even compare to the strengths of filament-based prints. This is why awesome brands like Siraya Tech have dedicated themselves to create unique polymer blends to cater to this common problem, with Siraya Tech Blu being one of the many great examples of 3D Resins that are not only excellent for 3D Printing precision and detail quality, but also for mechanical strengths in real world applications too.

Siraya Tech Blu (the type, not the colour) is a specialised blend of Urethane Acrylate and Acrylic Monomers that, when coupled with a small amount of Photoinitiator and cured at a wavelength of around 400nm, hardens into a surprisingly strong material, equipped with much higher tensile and flexural characteristics than standard 3D Resins, and capable of actually being used in the real world with real forces. And although the branding may not be quite as exciting as some other brands on the market, Siraya Tech has placed a core focus on simply providing a great product, and that’s a fantastic thing for cost-conscious Makers like us, as at the end of the day, we don’t care about what the bottle looks like, but rather what it contains, and what these bottles contain are great quality 3D Resin blends that feature impressive mechanical capabilities along with high precision and reasonably quick print times too – making it a fantastic all-round choice for all Makers who care about the quality and the real world strengths of their 3D Resin prints.

If you’ve been somewhat perplexed at the name of this 3D Resin, you certainly aren’t alone, and this surprised us at first as well, but it’s important to note that the Blu is just the series of Siraya Tech 3D Resins that focus on a blend between impact resistance and hardness. As the name “Siraya Tech Blu Emerald Green-Blue Resin” suggests, this resin features a beautifully opaque blue that also has a tinge of green, with an almost ghostly appearance and a relatively high level of transparency. This makes it particularly awesome for printing all kinds of fun ghostly creations like spooky nightlights and fun desktop doodads, but can also offer quite a classy aesthetic that can appear almost like natural crystalline structures for eye-catching accessories and jewellery, as well as for awesome electronics enclosures and even cool Cosplay gear – especially if you integrate some LEDs too.

Of course, one of the best things about being a Maker is that you get to decide precisely how you want to use your 3D Resins, filaments and other materials, but rest assured that regardless of what you plan to print, you can expect great quality, good impact resistance and strength, as well as distinctly awesome aesthetics with Siraya Tech Blu - Emerald Green-Blue Resin.

• Because Siraya Tech understand just how tricky 3D Resin Printing can be, they have provided a number of handy Siraya Tech User Guides for their 3D Resins. Be sure to check this out to get a good idea of what settings to use, and how to get good quality from the get-go without having to go through blind trial and error.

Finally, while we usually love all of the 3D Resins we get, we’ve been particularly impressed with just how strong Siraya Tech Resins really are. To see this for yourself, check out the following video by My Tech Fun, which does an interesting experiment by comparing PETG filament to Siraya Tech Blu resin while using real world tests to measure and identify the real world strengths:
