Rigid 10K

Rigid 10K Resin is a premium, glass-filled resin designed for projects requiring extreme stiffness, heat resistance, and chemical durability.

Material Overview

With qualities similar to glass and fiber-filled thermoplastics, Rigid 10K Resin produces precise, industrial-grade parts with a smooth, matte finish. Ideal for creating molds, jigs, dies, and functional prototypes, Rigid 10K is the perfect choice for applications that demand dimensional stability and resilience under high temperatures and pressures.

Why Choose Rigid 10K Resin?

  • Extremely Stiff: Resists deformation under high forces, pressures, and torque, providing stability for demanding applications.
  • High Thermal and Chemical Resistance: Maintains integrity in high-heat environments and resists a variety of chemicals, suitable for industrial and manufacturing settings.
  • Exceptional Precision: Produces strong, detailed, and dimensionally accurate parts, perfect for tooling and test models.
  • Smooth Matte Finish: Delivers a professional, polished look that enhances surface quality with minimal post-processing.

DLP Technology

DLP (Digital Light Processing) is a cutting-edge 3D printing technology that uses a digital light source to cure layers of photopolymer resin simultaneously, allowing for the rapid creation of highly detailed parts.

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.
