Rigid 4K Resin

Formlab’s Rigid 4K Resin is best for parts that need ZERO give. This material has zero flexibility which makes it ideal for mounts and brackets due to its high tensile strength and stiffness. This material closely resembles PEEK.

PROS OF

Rigid 4K Resin

When it is a perfect material choice
Great for functional parts that need to look good and work well
Provides some thermal and chemical resistance
Extremely high stiffness and strength
Great for prototyping parts with thin walls
Great for printing mounts, brackets, jigs and fixtures

CONS OF

Rigid 4K Resin

When to seek other material options
Supports are necessary for printing which can affect the visual quality of the part
Rigid nature of material makes removing supports and sanding harder than other materials
Custom colors not available, material is white in color
Not available on SLA XL build volume
Not ideal for parts that require any flexibility

PRINT SETTINGS

You need 3D printing and you need it FAST! That’s why we offer some of the quickest turnaround times in the nation.

QUALITY FOR

Rigid 4K Resin

This number of microns determines how thick each layer is. The smaller the micron count, the thinner the layer, this results in higher surface detail, better surface finishes and less stepping!
