Applications

Fast and Colorful

Short-Run Injection Mold Masters and Inserts: Durable and precise, Rigid 10K® Resin can withstand the pressures of short-run injection molding.
Heat-Resistant Components and Jigs: With high thermal stability, this material is excellent for parts exposed to high temperatures or fluids.
Aerodynamic Test Models: Perfect for creating models that demand stiffness and accuracy, such as those used in wind tunnel testing.

Advantages:

Simulates Glass and Fiber-Filled Thermoplastics: Offers similar stiffness and performance to traditional filled thermoplastics, making it an effective alternative.
Industrial-Grade Strength and Durability: Engineered to withstand intense conditions without bending or warping, making it suitable for high-load applications.
Smooth, Polished Surface: Prints with a matte finish that’s ready for use, reducing the need for extensive post-processing.
Faster and Easier than Machining: Provides a faster, more efficient alternative to milling metals like aluminum and steel for prototype and low-volume production.

Disadvantages:

Limited Flexibility: As an ultra-stiff material, it’s not suitable for applications requiring flexibility or elasticity.
