3D printing has become an essential tool in the creative industries — from character design and concept modeling to collectible figure production.
For many studios, achieving both high detail and quick turnaround can be a constant challenge. At a partner studio using NextShapes materials, designer Mike has been pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in digital-to-physical creation using NextShapes Standard Pro Resin.
Working in a fast-paced creative environment, Mike needs to meet diverse design requirements: rapid iterations, precise surface quality, and reliable results for client approval and exhibitions.
“In our studio, we often deal with sudden design changes or last-minute model requests,” says Mike.“I need a resin that helps me respond quickly while keeping every sculpted detail intact.”
“Standard Pro Resin has proven to be that perfect balance of precision, efficiency, and beauty. It prints fast, finishes cleanly, and delivers professional quality every time.”

Efficiently Tackling Urgent Creative Projects
In the field of conceptual modeling, time is often the most valuable resource. Unexpected presentation deadlines or design competitions may leave creators with only a few hours to deliver tangible, high-quality prototypes. For Mike, speed and reliability are unquestionable requirements.
"Before using Standard Pro Resin, printing large models could take days," Mike recalled. "Now, I can complete the same projects in much less time, and the results are smoother with far less post-processing work."

Shortly after adopting Standard Pro Resin, there was a notable case. Mike received a rush commission to create a highly detailed game character bust — a display model that needed to be delivered to the client within hours.
"This would have normally been a project that required a lot of time for printing and post-processing," Mike said. "But with Standard Pro Resin, I finished printing, cleaning, and polishing it quickly. The model’s surface was extremely clean, and I only needed minor sanding before applying paint."

Since then, Mike has handled many similar requests — intricate statues, stylized concept pieces, and collectible-scale miniatures — all completed in less time while maintaining artistic-level precision.
Capturing Fine Details and Smooth Finishes
For creators like Mike, surface detail is the soul of the model. Every texture, fold, and sculpted form carries artistic meaning.
Standard Pro Resin enables this level of detail reproduction through consistent layer definition and low shrinkage, ensuring the printed model matches the digital sculpt perfectly.
“The resin picks up even the smallest engravings on armor plates or strands of hair,” Mike says. “When I compare the 3D file and the print, the resemblance is almost one-to-one. That kind of accuracy boosts my confidence as a designer.”
Equally important is the finish. Standard Pro Resin delivers a natural smoothness that highlights form without harsh layer lines. For modelers who paint their pieces, this makes preparation effortless.
“With Standard Pro, the prints already look refined right off the printer,” Mike explains. “I just do a quick sanding and priming, and it’s ready for paint. The result feels premium — like it came from an industrial mold.”

This combination of accuracy and aesthetic quality is what makes Standard Pro Resin a favorite for artists who care as much about form as function.
Smooth Workflow and Reliable Printing

Creative studios are not just about performance — they are spaces for imagination and focus.
Standard Pro Resin’s low viscosity makes it easy to pour, mix, and clean, allowing Mike to maintain a tidy and efficient workflow. It doesn’t leave sticky residue, reducing maintenance time and preserving the cleanliness of the workspace.
Equally important is the low odor formulation, designed for long printing sessions in enclosed studios.
“Some resins smell sharp or chemical,” Mike says. “Standard Pro has almost no noticeable odor, which makes the studio atmosphere much more pleasant. It’s great for designers who spend the whole day creating near the printer.”
For Mike and many other designers, this comfortable printing experience helps maintain focus and energy, especially during extended creative marathons.
In professional settings, reliability is critical. Mike’s studio uses a mix of 405 nm LCD and DLP 3D printers of different sizes and generations.Standard Pro Resin works seamlessly across them all, ensuring consistent results without the need for fine-tuning every machine.
“No matter which printer I load it into, I get the same sharp edges, balanced dimensions, and stable prints,” Mike notes. “There’s no warping, no misalignment, and the success rate is incredibly high.”

This level of consistency allows Mike to start new prints with confidence, even when facing tight client deadlines.
“It gives me peace of mind,” Mike adds. “Knowing that my next print will come out just as expected means I can focus entirely on creativity.”
That reliability has also allowed the studio to take on more complex design jobs without the risk of reprints or material waste.
Efficiency, Cost Benefits, and Creative Confidence
Balancing creativity and cost efficiency is always a delicate act for independent designers and small studios.
“Standard Pro Resin doesn’t just print beautifully — it’s economical,” Mike explains. “Because it’s stable and has such a low failure rate, I save time, resin, and labor.”
Over time, these savings add up significantly. The studio has reduced wasted material by nearly half and improved output volume without increasing printing costs.
“We now complete more models per week than ever before,” Mike says. “That extra efficiency allows me to experiment with new ideas and styles instead of worrying about wasted time or budget.”

In addition, because the resin’s curing behavior is optimized for short exposure cycles, Mike can achieve both faster builds and smoother results — an ideal combination for high-end design work.
After months of consistent use across different projects, Mike summarizes his experience with Standard Pro Resin in one word: confidence.
“I’ve pushed this resin on large pieces, complex miniatures, and rapid prototypes, and it’s never failed me. The prints always come out clean, stable, and detailed. It’s become a core part of my creative process.”
