What are the differences between using rigid versus flexible resins for dynamic animal poses?
When creating dynamic animal poses in 3D printing, the choice between rigid and flexible resins significantly impacts the final result. Rigid resins offer high durability and precise details, making them ideal for static or load-bearing models. However, they can be brittle and may break under stress. Flexible resins, on the other hand, provide elasticity and shock absorption, perfect for poses requiring movement or bending. While flexible resins are less prone to cracking, they may lack the fine detail retention of rigid resins. Consider the intended use—rigid for display pieces, flexible for interactive or articulated designs—to achieve the best outcome.
