Custom duct produced in Rigid 4000 Resin

Why Choose Rigid 4000 Resin?

Rigid 4000 Resin is a glass-filled material that has the highest tensile strength in our Engineering Resin Library.


Stiff

Resistant to deformation under a variety of forces, pressures, and torques.


High Thermal and Chemical Resistance

Withstands high temperatures and a variety of chemicals.


Precise

Produce strong, detailed, and accurate molds or models.


Smooth, Matte Finish

Deliver parts that look and feel like a finished product.

Applications

Produce stiff and strong engineering-grade prototypes that can be load-bearing.

Consider Rigid 4000 Resin for:

Mounts and brackets
Thin-walled parts
Jigs and fixtures
Simulates stiffness of PEEK

Duration

15 minutes​ in IPA

Notes

Rigid 4000 Resin contains glass particles, which strengthens printed parts. Maintain separate wash buckets to prevent glass particles adhering to parts printed with other resins.

Notes

For parts printed in an engineering-focused resin (such as those in the Rigid, Tough & Durable, and Flexible & Elastic families), post-curing ensures that the parts reach their optimal mechanical properties and can function as designed. There is only one recommended post-curing time for Rigid 4000 Resin V1.
