English term or phrase: photosetting
A layer of photosetting resin is applied.
Est-ce une résine photosensible ?
Je trouve plus loin aussi le terme thermosetting, que je traduirais par thermosensible.

Do note that 'photodurcissable' gets a lot more Google hits, although I do believe that both terms are valid.

'photosensible' translates 'photosensitive', and while the resin here clearly IS sensitive to light, this fails to explain in what WAY it reacts to light, so should not be considered a complete translation.
