Rigid 4000 Resin is a glass-filled resin that is precise and offers similar stiffness to PEEK and PEKK thermoplastics. It prints with a smooth, matte, polished finish and is highly resistant to heat and chemicals.
Choose Rigid 4000 Resin for stiff and strong engineering-grade prototypes, general load-bearing applications, and industrial parts that need to withstand significant loads without bending.

* Material properties can vary with part geometry, print orientation, print settings, and temperature. Data was obtained from parts printed using Form 3, 100 μm, Rigid settings and post-cured with a Form Cure for 15 minutes at 80 °C.
Post-Processing
Washing
The foundational step in any SLA post-processing workflow is to remove any excess resin on the surface of the parts through an alcohol or ether wash.
SETTINGS
Curing
Post-curing Engineering and Specialty Resins is essential for parts to achieve their full strength and functionality. This step completes the chemical reaction initiated during printing, transforming the part from its green state into a fully finished component.
