strong use cases:
- range of colors (without post-processing) is required
- scale/ build volume needs to be as large as possible
- dissolvable support will keep a delicate print from being damaged in post-processing
- exact multiples of a complex model required
- time commitment of resin printing including post-processing is prohibitive
- expense of resin is too prohibitive
- model will be burned out in a foundry casting purposes in metal or glass
- prototyping, creating a component to connect different media, printing a master design to create a mold from (also use cases critical to resin printing)
not useful if:
- printing extremely fine detail
- transparency of print is key to design
- sheer strength of print is critical
- significant variables in setting up g-code is prohibitive
