We are pleased to share a case study on how a leading game peripheral manufacturer optimized its development process by utilizing Nextshapes’ 405nm LCD 3D printing Standard Pro Resin. With its wide color selection and a balance of strength, hardness, and toughness, this 3D resin significantly enhanced prototyping efficiency. Its fast print speed and smooth surface finish enabled rapid design iteration and provided high-quality physical 3D printing models for form evaluation and ergonomic assessment.

 

 

     


Comprehensive Performance Designed for the Prototyping Phase

 

 

While final gamepad products often have specific material requirements, the core need during the prototype development stage is rapid validation. The focus here is on how quickly a model can be produced, whether its surface is suitable for post-processing, and if it is durable enough for repeated team testing. The properties of Standard Pro Resin align perfectly with these needs. Its high hardness and strength ensure that prototypes remain intact during assembly, disassembly, and functional testing, while the material's inherent toughness contributes to a satisfying in-hand feel. The smooth surface allows for direct painting, enabling the quick achievement of visual and tactile effects that closely resemble the final product. This is crucial for design reviews and user experience testing, making these 3D printing prototypes highly effective tools.

 

Positioning Standard Pro within the Nextshapes Product Ecosystem

 

 

Standard Pro Resin is compatible with mainstream 405nm LCD and DLP printers, ensuring that this efficient workflow is accessible to both design teams and R&D departments. Its easy-wash characteristics simplify post-processing, contributing to overall efficiency gains. As a versatile material within the NextShapes portfolio, Standard Pro is designed to meet diverse needs—from concept modeling and design iteration to educational demonstrations—and performs exceptionally well in prototyping for consumer electronics. Manufacturers can evaluate the suitability of this material for their specific prototyping goals, empowered by accessible 3D print technology.

Recommended Workflow for High-Quality Prototypes

 

 

To fully leverage the performance advantages of Standard Pro 3D resin and achieve ideal prototype parts, it is recommended to follow these basic post-processing steps:

 

  • 1.After the print job is complete, ensure thorough washing of the parts with sufficient isopropyl alcohol to remove all uncured 3D resin, paying special attention to models with complex details and internal structures.

 

  • 2.After washing, allow the parts to dry completely to prevent any liquid residue from affecting subsequent curing and surface quality.

 

  • 3.Follow the equipment manufacturer’s recommendations for adequate post-curing to ensure the material fully reacts and achieves its specified mechanical performance and stability.
