“Parts printed with ordinary resin are either too brittle and snap easily, or the surface is too rough for direct display.”

This is a common frustration shared by many product designers and educators. To meet the demands of rapid prototyping, design iteration, artistic creation, and 3d printing for education, NextShapes introduced Standard Pro photopolymer 3d resin. Designed specifically for 405nm LCD/DLP printers and compatible with advanced Icd 3d printing technology, it combines high hardness and high strength with just the right amount of toughness, while also offering more than ten vibrant color options and a naturally smooth surface finish.

Rapid Printing: Faster Iteration Without the Wait

“Printing a full drone shell used to take four or five hours, and failures were common. After switching to Standard Pro, the same model could be completed in under two hours. The supports were easy to remove, and the surface barely needed sanding.”

In addition to its fast printing performance, Standard Pro is also easy to clean. After printing, uncured resin can be removed with a simple alcohol rinse, leaving no sticky residue or oily film behind. This is especially important for rapid assembly and repeated design modification workflows. Whether for concept modeling or functional validation, users can complete the entire cycle of printing, cleaning, post-curing, and testing within the same day.

With efficient curing performance and stable detail reproduction, this 3D printed material helps creators shorten development cycles while maintaining excellent visual quality.

More Than Ten Colors and Smooth Surfaces: Bringing Creativity Directly to Life

Many engineering resins are only available in gray, black, or white, and often produce dull or yellowish surfaces that require extensive post-processing. Standard Pro offers more than ten vivid colors, including red, blue, green, yellow, purple, and skin tones. Printed parts feature naturally smooth surfaces with barely visible layer lines.

“We create anime figurines and artistic installations, and coloring has always been the most troublesome step. Previously, we had to sand, apply filler, and repaint everything, which was time-consuming and risky. Now, with Standard Pro’s skin-tone or red resin, we can remove the supports, do minimal sanding, and display the parts directly. Even the transparent color series can create semi-transparent visual effects, saving us a huge amount of post-processing time.”

The smooth finish also comes from Standard Pro’s low shrinkage rate and excellent light diffusion properties. When paired with 405nm LCD/DLP printers, it can produce a delicate surface texture similar to injection-molded parts. For concept modeling, art and design, and 3d printing for education, this “print-and-use” experience greatly improves efficiency.

Wide Application Range: From Classrooms to Studios

Standard Pro is not designed for a single industry. Instead, it supports four major application areas: rapid prototyping, design iteration, artistic creation, and educational training.

In university design courses, students can quickly transform digital 3D models into tangible objects and freely compare different color schemes. In product studios, designers can complete multiple rounds of appearance and structural validation within a single day. For anime figurine production, the wide range of colors makes part separation and post-painting easier than ever before.

“Our studio’s printers run more than ten hours almost every day, and Standard Pro is the material we reorder most frequently. It’s reasonably priced, highly stable, and maintains excellent consistency in both color and mechanical properties across different batches. For us, it’s no longer just a prototyping material — it’s a material we can directly use for small-batch end-use products.”

Whether you are an engineer, designer, educator, or figurine enthusiast, Standard Pro delivers low per-part costs, rapid printing capability, and reliable performance to help turn your ideas into reality.
