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.

FAQ
Rigid 10K Resin is a highly glass-filled, extremely stiff SLA material from Formlabs. It closely simulates the mechanical behavior of glass and fiber-filled thermoplastics, printing with a smooth, matte, polished finish while offering high resistance to heat and chemicals.
The name reflects the material's exceptionally high tensile modulus, which is measured at 11,000 MPa (11 GPa), representing its extreme resistance to deformation under load.
Rigid 10K Resin offers an ultimate tensile strength of 88 MPa, a tensile modulus of 11 GPa, a flexural modulus of 9.9 GPa, and a heat deflection temperature of 238 °C at 0.45 MPa. For the full set of values, you can download the Rigid 10K Resin Technical Data Sheet.
Rigid 10K Resin is one of the stiffest and most thermally stable options available. You can compare it directly against other resins using the Formlabs materials comparison tool.
It is well suited for precise industrial parts including molds, jigs, dies, and other tooling for injection molding, thermoforming, and blow molding. It is also a strong choice for aerodynamic test models, heat-resistant and fluid-exposed components and fixtures, functional prototypes, and end-use parts that require dimensional accuracy and stability under high temperatures and pressures.
Rigid 10K Resin can be faster and easier to produce compared to milling aluminum and steel, while still delivering the stiffness, thermal resistance, and surface quality needed for industrial-grade tooling applications such as short-run injection mold masters and inserts.
Post-processing involves two main steps. First, wash the part using isopropyl alcohol or an ether-based solution to remove uncured resin from the surface. Formlabs Form Wash or Form Wash L are both compatible. Second, post-cure the part using a Form Cure or Form Cure L unit. Post-curing is essential for parts to achieve their full strength and intended functional properties by completing the chemical reaction initiated during printing.
Wash time settings are available on the Formlabs support site for Form Wash and Form Wash L. Cure settings are available separately for Form Cure V1, Form Cure V2, Form Cure L V1, and Form Cure L V2.
