Formlabs Rigid 10K Resin (Form 4) - 1L is a high-performance material designed for applications requiring extreme strength, complete stiffness, and thermal stability. As the stiffest material in the Formlabs engineering portfolio, this highly glass-filled resin serves as the premier choice for precise industrial parts that must withstand significant load without bending. Consequently, it allows engineers to optimise manufacturing processes and assess form, fit, and function whilst ensuring components perform reliably under extensive stress.
Industrial Applications for Formlabs Rigid 10K Resin (Form 4) - 1L
Furthermore, the "10K" designation represents the material’s high tensile modulus, providing unmatched rigidity for demanding engineering tasks. Formlabs Rigid 10K Resin (Form 4) - 1L exhibits a smooth matte finish and is highly resistant to both heat and chemicals, making it a powerful alternative to milling aluminium or steel. Whilst it supports print resolutions of 100 and 50 microns, post-curing is mandatory to achieve its full mechanical properties and effectively simulate the stiffness of fibre-filled thermoplastics.
Consider utilizing this material for the following professional applications:
- Short-run injection mould masters and inserts: Maintains critical dimensional accuracy and stability under high pressure.
- Aerodynamic test models: Prevents deformation in high-velocity fluid flow or wind tunnel environments.
- Heat resistant components: Ideal for jigs, fixtures, and components exposed to chemicals and elevated temperatures.
- Industrial-grade prototypes: Provides a cost-effective alternative to CNC machining for functional testing.
