• UK-manufactured resins for reliable lead times and supply continuity

• Compatible with third-party UV LCD, DLP and SLA printers

High-Performance Resins for Industrial Applications

Industrial environments demand more from additive manufacturing materials than consumer or dental applications. Parts need to withstand mechanical stress, thermal cycling, chemical exposure and dimensional instability — often across extended service lives. Scott Bader's industrial AM resins are formulated to meet these requirements.

Engineered for Performance

Our resins deliver high mechanical strength, excellent chemical resistance and strong thermal stability when post-cured under temperature-assisted UV light. The result is parts that are strong, rigid and resilient — well suited to tooling, functional prototypes, fixtures and end-use components in demanding environments.

Built for Scale and Flexibility

From rapid prototyping through to full production runs, our industrial AM resins maintain consistent dimensional accuracy and surface quality. High reactivity supports faster print cycles, and compatibility across open third-party printer platforms gives you genuine flexibility in your production setup.

Product focus — Crystic AM: Look out for the launch of Crystic AM, our newest industrial-grade additive manufacturing resin engineered for quality engineering applications. Designed for UV LCD and DLP printers open to third-party resins, Crystic AM delivers excellent mechanical performance and high reactivity, making it well suited to industrial prototyping and production.

Industrial Applications We Support

Scott Bader's industrial AM resins are in use across a broad range of sectors. Whether your requirement is lightweight structural components, precision tooling or chemically resistant end-use parts, our materials are specified to perform.

Automotive and Land Transport

Lightweight components, functional prototypes and interior parts where dimensional accuracy and surface finish are critical. Our resins are compatible with workflows used by automotive OEMs and their supply chains.

Aerospace and Advanced Engineering

High-performance, lightweight parts for aerospace tooling, fixtures and functional testing. Where weight, strength and precision tolerances are non-negotiable, our resins are formulated to deliver.

Manufacturing, Tooling and Engineering

Fixtures, moulds and production parts for general manufacturing. Strong and rigid when post-cured, our resins reduce reliance on traditional subtractive manufacturing for short-run or complex geometry components.

Energy and Infrastructure

Durable, chemically resistant parts for energy sector applications where long service life and environmental resistance matter. Our materials support the kinds of demanding conditions found across industrial infrastructure.

Why Partner With Scott Bader for Industrial Additive Manufacturing

Scott Bader has been formulating and manufacturing high-performance resins since 1921. That track record means our industrial AM resins are grounded in materials science that has been refined across decades and thousands of applications.

Collaborative Technical Support

Our global technical team works directly with your engineers and procurement team — from initial material selection and trial support through to process optimisation and troubleshooting at scale. We're structured to respond quickly, wherever you're based.

Proven in Industry

Our additive manufacturing resins have been validated in real-world industrial environments. We work with manufacturers who demand consistency, quality assurance and results — and our materials are specified and trusted to deliver them.

Employee Owned, Long-Term Committed

As an employee-owned business, Scott Bader operates with a long-term outlook. We reinvest in R&D, in our global technical infrastructure and in our customer relationships. When you work with us, you're working with people who have a genuine commitment to your success.

A More Sustainable Approach to Industrial Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing already offers inherent sustainability advantages over traditional subtractive methods — significantly less material waste, reduced energy consumption and the ability to consolidate components and reduce supply chain complexity. Scott Bader's industrial AM resins are developed with these advantages in mind, supporting manufacturers who are working towards reduced environmental impact without compromising on performance.
