Resin Tank A resin tank is the container that holds liquid photopolymer resin in SLA and DLP 3D printers. It has a transparent base made of FEP or PDMS film to allow UV light penetration for curing. The resin tank’s flexibility and chemical resistance prevent sticking and peeling failures. Proper maintenance, including regular cleaning and film replacement, ensures consistent curing and high-resolution prints. Advanced printers feature self-leveling and heated resin tanks for optimal viscosity and print quality. Proper resin handling and storage prevent contamination, bubbles, and curing defects. |
