The detail king — the cost-effective, general-purpose SLA resin.
ABS-like resin 3D printing at KAD3D — 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.
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.
Typical applications include Visual prototypes, master patterns, and presentation models.
Produced with SLA, ABS-like resin 3D printing typically offers a tensile strength around 45 MPa, elongation at break near 6%, heat deflection about 52 °C, a density of 1.13 g/cm³, a hardness of ~83 Shore D and water absorption around 0.4%. Full technical data is listed in the table below.
For dimensional work, KS408A Standard ABS-like Resin supports a typical layer height or tolerance of ±0.10–0.20 mm or ±0.2%.
This makes KS408A Standard ABS-like Resin a strong choice for parts that need fine detail.
Finishing options for KS408A Standard ABS-like Resin include Sanding, Painting / Priming, Polishing and Electroplating.
Standard turnaround for KS408A Standard ABS-like Resin is 10 business days, with an express option in 2–4 business days, from order confirmation and delivered Australia-wide.
Commonly chosen by Sydney and Brisbane studios for crisp visual prototypes and master patterns where surface finish and detail lead the brief.
Very smooth, glossy-to-matte off the printer in white; takes primer, paint and plating well. The most popular finish is Prime and paint (or plate) for a smooth, coloured presentation finish. As-cast white; primed and painted (or plated) to any colour. Maximum build size is up to 2700 × 900 × 800 mm.
SLA (stereolithography) cures liquid resin with a precise light source, giving smooth surfaces and fine detail that suit visual models and master patterns. You can read more about the SLA process on Wikipedia.
To get the best results with KS408A Standard ABS-like Resin, send your part as an STL, STEP or 3MF file and tell us the intended use, the tolerances that matter and any cosmetic finish you need. Our team confirms the ideal build orientation, wall thickness and infill, and flags anything that could affect strength, accuracy or surface quality before printing begins.
