TGM-7 resin - AmeraLabs

Developed for the specific needs of tabletop gaming enthusiasts, the TGM-7 resin from AmeraLabs stands out as a low-odor solution that cures quickly to perfection. Specifically designed for creating durable gaming miniatures, this resin features an impressive combination of properties. With a hard surface ranging from Shore 75-85D, it ensures that intricate details are captured flawlessly while offering a non-sticky, scratch-resistant surface that makes painting easy.

Like the AmeraLabs AMD-3 resin, TGM-7 resin is proud to deliver dimensionally accurate and stable parts, offering a fine balance between flexibility and strength. With mechanical properties showing a tensile strength at break of 35-40 MPa (ISO-527, post-curing) and an elongation at break of 42-52% (ISO-527, post-curing), you can be confident that your miniatures are reinforced against the demands of gaming.

The final properties (post-curing) of 3D printed miniatures made with TGM-7 resin may vary when exposed to harsh conditions such as excessive humidity, extremely dry atmospheres, and high temperatures (above 60 ºC) over extended periods. Therefore, this resin is not suitable for applications involving continuous exposure to water, organic solvents, and similar substances. If such properties are required, please refer to AmeraLabs AMD-3 resin.

Compatible 3D printers

TGM-7 3D resin is compatible with both MSLA (Phrozen Sonic Mini 8K, Anycubic Photon M5, Zortrax Inkspire, etc.) and DLP (Anycubic Photon Ultra or Photon D2) resin 3D printers with 365-420 nm light sources.

However, it is important to note that TGM-7 resin cannot be used with laser-based resin 3D printers that use PDMS-coated VAT trays (e.g., Formlabs 3D printers). The 3D printing profiles for this resin can be found here.

Post-processing

Regarding washing and post-curing, the recommended parameters will largely depend on the washing and curing equipment used. A complete guide for TGM-7 resin is available on the manufacturer’s website. This guide provides detailed post-processing recommendations.

Parts 3D printed with AmeraLabs TGM-7 resin can be post-processed after washing and post-curing. Since this resin is designed for gaming purposes, miniatures can be painted with excellent results. The resin is compatible with primers, coatings, and paints, allowing users to create highly customized tabletop gaming miniatures. Alternatively, colorants can be added to the resin before printing to produce directly colored details.

New variant: TGM-7 Graphite Gray

The TGM-7 range now includes the graphite gray color, a darker version with a more matte finish compared to the standard gray. This deeper tone reduces surface gloss and significantly improves fine detail visibility directly after printing, making it easier to evaluate print quality without immediate post-processing.

Unlike other resins in the TGM-7 range (translucent, white, or standard gray), graphite gray does not alter mechanical properties or printing parameters. It maintains the same formulation, strength, and curing behavior. The only difference is aesthetic and functional in terms of surface detail readability, making it the ideal option when quick visual inspection of the model is a priority.

Conclusion

Overall, AmeraLabs TGM-7 resin establishes itself as a well-balanced solution for tabletop gaming miniature printing, offering high precision, excellent mechanical properties, and a surface optimized to facilitate both painting and detail evaluation.

The addition of the new graphite gray further expands its possibilities, improving fine detail readability directly after printing without altering its technical properties, reinforcing the versatility of the range for users seeking consistent performance and maximum visual quality in their parts.
