Why Choose Rigid 10K Resin?

Rigid 10K is a highly glass-filled stereolithography (SLA) material designed for industrial-grade parts that must endure significant load without deformation. It prints with a smooth matte finish, offering the look and feel of machined thermoplastics.

Its high stiffness and heat resistance make it a strong choice for demanding engineering applications.

Clear Resin v4.1 produces smooth, transparent, and accurate parts that are widely used across industries. It supports applications where visual inspection, light transmission, or fluid flow analysis are required, while maintaining the strength and precision expected from an SLA material.

This material is trusted for medical device development, optical models, fluid systems, and consumer products that benefit from a clean, high-quality finish. Clear Resin v4.1 is a versatile choice for both functional prototypes and production-ready parts where transparency and fine detail matter.

Key Benefits

  • Extremely Stiff – Glass-filled formulation delivers an elastic modulus of 11 GPa for excellent rigidity.

  • Heat Resistant – Withstands up to 238 °C (460 °F) @ 0.45 MPa.

  • Chemically Resistant – Maintains integrity after exposure to common oils, fuels, and solvents.

  • Dimensional Stability – Tight tolerances for high-precision components.

  • Smooth, Matte Surface Finish – Comparable to machined thermoplastics and easily paintable.

  • Industrial Strength – Ideal for demanding mechanical and thermal environments.

Applications

  • Injection Mold Masters and Inserts – Produce short-run tooling and mold components that maintain precision under heat and pressure.

  • Heat-Resistant Fixtures and Housings – Ideal for jigs, enclosures, and components exposed to elevated temperatures or fluids.

  • Aerodynamic and Structural Models – Create durable test models and prototypes for high-performance applications.

  • Tooling for Manufacturing Processes – Use for thermoforming, blow molding, and die applications requiring strength and dimensional accuracy.
