Every value links to the document that states it. "Not sourced" means no citable source states it (or only a specification minimum); figures computed from it are left out too.
SLA Resin Standard is 3D printed: its properties depend on build direction and print settings; these are typical values.
Questions
Is Aluminum 5052-H32 stronger than SLA Resin Standard?
Aluminum 5052-H32 is stronger: its yield strength is 195 MPa against tensile strength 60 MPa for SLA Resin Standard (3.25x).
