Why Choose Rigid 10K Resin?
Produce extremely stiff, high-precision engineering parts with Rigid 10K Resin, a highly glass-filled SLA material engineered for industrial-grade applications that demand minimal deflection, thermal stability, and strong mechanical performance.
Engineering-Grade Stiffness
Rigid 10K Resin delivers among the highest stiffness in Formlabs’ portfolio, with a tensile modulus of around 11 GPa — similar to glass- or fiber-filled thermoplastics — enabling parts that resist bending and maintain shape under significant load.
Strong and Stable
Create durable, load-bearing components with high tensile strength (up to ~88 MPa) and excellent dimensional stability, making it ideal for functional prototypes, tooling, and structural elements.
Heat and Chemical Resistance
Rigid 10K Resin parts offer high thermal resistance (heat deflection up to ~238 °C @ 0.45 MPa) and strong resistance to many chemicals, supporting performance in demanding environments.
Smooth, Matte Surface Finish
Print parts with a polished matte surface and fine detail resolution that closely resembles machined thermoplastics, reducing the need for extensive post-processing.
Applications
Ideal for engineering applications requiring stiffness, thermal and chemical stability, and high surface quality.
Consider Rigid 10K Resin for:
- Short-run injection mold masters and inserts
- Heat-resistant fixtures, jigs, and housings
- Load-bearing functional prototypes
- Aerodynamic or structural test models
- Industrial tooling and press tooling components
Material properties may vary depending on part design, print settings, and post-processing. Users are responsible for validating performance for their specific application.
