ELEGOO Dental Model Resin – Orange Restorative Dental Model Resin (1 kg)
Overview: The ELEGOO Dental Model is a 405 nm UV resin designed for printing working and restorative dental models: crown, bridge, and implant models, dies, study models, and patient presentation models. According to ELEGOO's technical datasheet, it stands out for its toughness (elongation at break of 25.5% and impact strength of 192.6 J/m), its scratch-resistant surface after post-curing, and its low shrinkage. Available in orange, 1 kg bottle, compatible with 405 nm LCD/MSLA and DLP printers.

What Is Dental Model Resin Used For?
In a digital dentistry workflow, intraoral scans are converted into physical models on which the dental lab does its work: fitting and adjusting crowns, bridges, and implant-supported restorations; checking contact points and occlusion; and presenting the case to the patient. Dental Model resin is purpose-built for this — models that get handled repeatedly, with restorations seated and removed many times, that need to hold their shape and surface detail throughout.
Why Does Toughness and Scratch Resistance Matter?
Working models take a beating: crowns are pressed on and pulled off, instruments pass over the surface, and models get dropped on the bench. A brittle resin chips at the margins — exactly where precision matters most. According to its technical datasheet, Dental Model achieves an elongation at break of 25.5% and an impact strength of 192.6 J/m — figures that place it firmly in tough resin territory — and ELEGOO states that after post-curing the surface offers good scratch resistance. The result is models that last the full case without losing detail.
How Does It Compare to ELEGOO Dental Orthodontic?
Both are orange model resins, but they serve different purposes. The Dental Orthodontic is formulated for thermoforming over orthodontic models — aligners, retainers, and splints. Dental Model is the choice for prosthetics and restorative work, with significantly greater toughness: 25.5% vs. 8.4% elongation at break, and 192.6 vs. 74.3 J/m impact strength.
Is It Compatible With My Printer?
Yes — if your printer uses 405 nm light, which covers the vast majority of desktop LCD/MSLA and DLP printers: ELEGOO Mars and Saturn, Anycubic Photon, Creality Halot, Phrozen, and similar machines.

ELEGOO Recommended Print Settings
Values from the official technical datasheet, measured on a 6.6'' mono screen at 3,500–4,500 µW/cm². Use these as a starting point and fine-tune them for your printer.
-
Bottom layer exposure: 20–30 s.
-
Normal layer exposure: 2.5–4.5 s.
-
Lift distance (bottom and normal layers): 6 mm.
-
Lift speed: 60 mm/min for bottom layers, 80 mm/min for normal layers.
-
Retract speed: 150 mm/min.
-
Layer height: 0.025–0.05 mm.
Usage Tips
-
Shake the bottle thoroughly before each use and keep it away from direct sunlight.
-
Print at room temperature (around 25 °C): cold temperatures thicken the resin and increase print failures.
-
Wash with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or ethanol above 95% for at least 30 seconds.
-
Post-cure submerged in water: ELEGOO recommends curing the cleaned model underwater under 405 nm UV light for a hard, scratch-resistant surface finish.
- Wear gloves and a mask, work in a well-ventilated area, and store the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat sources.
Who Is It For?
Ideal for dental labs and clinics working on fixed prosthetics and implant-supported restorations within a digital workflow, as well as students and educators who need durable study models. This is not an intraoral resin — it is a model material only.
Workflow: Print, Wash, and Cure
Print on your 405 nm resin 3D printer, then wash and post-cure in a wash and cure station. If you also cast metal, the ELEGOO Dental Castable lets you print crown and framework patterns to fit over these models. Browse the full range at ELEGOO resins.
Frequently Asked Questions about ELEGOO Dental Model
What is ELEGOO Dental Model resin used for?
For printing working and restorative dental models: crown, bridge, and implant models, dies, study models, and presentation models.
Is it durable?
Yes. According to ELEGOO's technical datasheet, it has 25.5% elongation at break and 192.6 J/m impact resistance, so it can handle drops and everyday handling without cracking.
Will it scratch when testing crowns?
After post-curing in water under UV light, ELEGOO states that the surface has good scratch resistance.
Can it be used intraorally?
No. This is a model resin, not a biocompatible material approved for use in the mouth.
Can it be used for thermoforming aligners?
For orthodontics and thermoforming, ELEGOO makes a dedicated resin: the Dental Orthodontic. The Dental Model is designed for prosthetics and restorations.
What exposure settings should I use?
ELEGOO recommends 20–30 s for base layers and 2.5–4.5 s per layer (based on a 6.6'' mono LCD screen). Use these as a starting point and fine-tune with a calibration test.
Will it work with my ELEGOO, Anycubic, or Creality printer?
Yes, as long as it's a 405 nm LCD/MSLA or DLP printer, such as the ELEGOO Mars and Saturn, Anycubic Photon, or Creality Halot series.
How do I wash it?
Use isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or ethanol above 95%, washing for at least 30 seconds.
What is the shelf life?
Two years, when kept tightly sealed and stored at 25–30 °C in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
Why is it orange?
Warm, opaque tones provide high contrast, making it easy to see margins, contacts, and anatomical details clearly — with a look reminiscent of traditional plaster models.
