Resin and Filament (FDM) printing serve similar functions but operate differently. Resin printers use UV-sensitive material to build layers, while Filament printers melt plastic to form structures. Filament is generally more budget-friendly and offers a broader range of material choices. Resin, although often pricier, delivers near-isotropic strength, meaning it’s uniformly strong in all directions. Furthermore, resin printers can recreate intricate small details & achieve higher resolution, making layer lines virtually invisible.
