KS408A Standard ABS-like Resin — SLA 3D printing

SLA Available Express available

The detail king — the cost-effective, general-purpose SLA resin.

KS408A is Kings' standard white ABS-like SLA resin: the value pick for crisp visual models and master patterns where fine detail and a smooth surface matter more than toughness. It is more brittle than the tough resins and has a low heat ceiling, so it suits presentation and pattern work.

What KS408A Standard ABS-like Resin is used for

This standard SLA resin is used for smooth, detailed prototypes and display models where a crisp surface matters — product mock-ups, casings and visual parts that look moulded straight off the printer.

Finishing & post-processing for KS408A Standard ABS-like Resin

Parts printed in KS408A Standard ABS-like Resin in SLA can be finished a number of ways at KAD3D, from a clean functional surface to a fully painted, display-ready result. The treatments below are the ones we most often apply to this material.

Sanding: Hand or machine sanding knocks back layer lines and blemishes, stepping up through grits toward a smooth, even surface ready for paint or display.
Painting / Priming: Primer fills the last micro-texture so colour coats lie down evenly; the part can then be finished in any custom colour, gloss level or brand match.
Polishing: Progressive polishing brings the surface up to a bright, reflective sheen — most striking on metals and clear resins.
Electroplating: A conductive base coat lets the part be plated in real metal (copper, nickel, chrome) for a durable metallic surface and added stiffness.

What this material supports

✓ Paintable ✓ Easy to sand ✓ Electroplate friendly^*

Paint & custom colour: KS408A Standard ABS-like Resin primes and paints well, so parts can be matched to any brand colour, gloss level or metallic look.
Sanding & smoothing: responds well to sanding, so layer lines can be worked back to a smooth, paint-ready surface.
Electroplating: can be prepared and plated in real metal for a hard, metallic surface and added stiffness.

Most popular finish: Prime and paint (or plate) for a smooth, coloured presentation finish.
