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 SLA Resin Standard stronger than Rubber?

SLA Resin Standard is stronger: its tensile strength is 60 MPa against 23 MPa for Rubber (2.61x).

Which is more ductile, SLA Resin Standard or Rubber?

Rubber stretches further before it breaks: 830% elongation at break against 8% for SLA Resin Standard.
