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 Plastic POM/Acetal stronger than SLA Resin Standard? Plastic POM/Acetal is stronger: its yield strength is 69 MPa against tensile strength 60 MPa for SLA Resin Standard (15%).
Which is stiffer, Plastic POM/Acetal or SLA Resin Standard? Plastic POM/Acetal is stiffer: Young's modulus 2.8 GPa against 2.75 GPa for SLA Resin Standard, so the same part in Plastic POM/Acetal deflects less under the same load.
Which is more ductile, Plastic POM/Acetal or SLA Resin Standard? Plastic POM/Acetal stretches further before it breaks: 75% elongation at break against 8% for SLA Resin Standard.
