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 Elastic 50A is 3D printed: its properties depend on build direction and print settings; these are typical values.
Questions Is Brass C260 stronger than SLA Resin Elastic 50A? Brass C260 is stronger: its yield strength is 345 MPa against tensile strength 3.4 MPa for SLA Resin Elastic 50A (101x).
Which is lighter, Brass C260 or SLA Resin Elastic 50A? SLA Resin Elastic 50A is lighter: 1,010 kg/m³ against 8,525 kg/m³ for Brass C260.
Which is lighter for the same job, Brass C260 or SLA Resin Elastic 50A? For the same stiffness or strength: Brass C260 is lighter for a strong rod or tie, strong beam, strong panel or plate.
Part that must be Brass C260 SLA Resin Elastic 50A Strong rod or tie lighter 12x heavier Strong beam lighter 2.58x heavier Strong panel or plate lighter 19% heavier
For the same stiffness or strength, mass scales with density over stiffness (or strength) raised to a power set by how the part is loaded: 1 for a rod in tension, 1/2 for a beam in bending, 1/3 for a panel (the standard material-selection indices).
