Resin casting turns liquid into solid, glass-clear material. From jewelry components to decorative objects - it's one of the most versatile techniques in our sTuDiO.
UV vs 2K Epoxy Resin
We work with two types of resin - each has its strengths:
| Feature | UV Resin | 2K Epoxy |
|---|---|---|
| Curing | UV light, 1–3 min | chemical, 12–24h |
| Clarity | crystal clear | clear to milky |
| Layer thickness | 1–3 mm | unlimited |
| Best for | jewelry, thin pieces | large objects, thick pours |
| Price per gram | higher | lower |
Materials & Pigments
Resin is the base - but the magic starts when you add color and inclusions:
- Alcohol inks - intense, translucent colors with marble effect
- Mica powders - metallic shimmer in gold, silver, copper, bronze
- Dried flowers - encapsulated forever in clear resin
- Metal / wood inserts - hybrid objects combining materials
- Glow-in-the-dark pigments - glow for hours in the dark
Applications
- Jewelry - pendants, ring inserts, resin earring drops
- Decorative objects - coasters, bookmarks, keychains
- Resin art - resin paintings, river table miniatures
- Prototyping - transparent housings, display models
- Preservation - flowers, tickets, photos encapsulated in resin
Our Process
Every cast goes through 4 stages:
- 1. Consultation - we discuss the design + prepare the mold (silicone or 3D-printed)
- 2. Material selection - resin type, pigments, inserts, finish
- 3. Casting + curing - UV lamp or 24-hour chemical cure
- 4. Finishing - demolding, sanding, polishing, optional coating
