For the 3D-printed resins, one group was post-processed by rinsing in isopropyl alcohol, while another group was centrifuged before post-curing in glycerine. Three different testing conditions were used: dry, wet (24-h water immersion), and aged (thermocycling for 10,000 cycles). Surface characteristics were evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively. Optical properties were assessed for transparency and colour stability, while mechanical properties were elicited from tensile and microhardness tests. Water sorption and solubility were calculated. Samples mounted on a dental model were scanned by micro-computed tomography to measure thickness and gap width.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>3D-printed samples post-processed by centrifugation showed significantly decreased surface roughness and improved visible light transmission, colour stability, tensile strength, and hardness.
