Why Choose Monocure3D TENSILE™ Resin?
TENSILE resin is expertly formulated with a proprietary blend of advanced urethanes and epoxies designed to deliver exceptional tensile strength and long-lasting durability. This resin perfectly balances fine detail, strength, flexibility, and a smooth, hard surface finish.
Ideal for applications where rigidity and durability are paramount, TENSILE resin allows 3D-printed models to withstand stress and strain without becoming brittle. Once post-cured, the material can be machined, painted, or polished to achieve a professional finish, offering versatility for various projects.
Its low-odour formula makes TENSILE resin well-suited for use in confined spaces such as home offices, garages, or shared living environments, ensuring a more pleasant and user-friendly printing experience.

Optimise Your Prints with TENSILE™ Resin
TENSILE Resin offers exceptional performance across various applications, supporting layer heights from 10 to 150 microns. For best results, models should generally be sliced as solid to maximise strength. If hollowing is required, include well-placed drain holes to prevent resin trapping and ensure efficient post-cleaning.
When positioning your model, angle it slightly on the build plate to minimise large flat surfaces that can cause suction forces against the FEP film. Use dense, carefully placed supports to stabilise unsupported areas and maintain structural integrity during printing.
TENSILE Resin requires optimised print settings tailored to its unique properties. Slower curing times may enhance final tensile strength. Use our calibration models on the website to fine-tune your printer and achieve consistent, high-quality results.
For further guidance, visit our printer settings page to see recommended settings for your specific printer model, offering a reliable baseline to dial in TENSILE Resin effectively.
Post-Processing Guide for TENSILE™ Resin
1. Cleaning the Print
After printing, use ResinAway® to remove uncured resin. Begin with a pre-wash bath and use a soft brush to clean the surface. For intricate details, place the part in an ultrasonic cleaner with ResinAway® for 3-5 minutes.
2. Drying the Part
Use compressed air or a lint-free cloth to dry the model. Warning: Leaving excess IPA or ResinAway® on the part may cause surface cracking. Ensure the part is completely dry before post-curing.
3. Post-Curing the Model
Post-curing is essential to achieve optimal properties. Use a 405nm LED UV light. Cure for a few minutes, rinse with fresh water, then cure for at least 30 minutes to enhance tensile strength. For maximum performance, cure for 2 hours. Properties will further improve over the next few days.
4. Surface Finishing
Apply paint to protect against external elements or machine, sand, or polish the model to create a tough, scratch-resistant surface.
