RIGID 4000 RESIN
Overview
Rigid 4000 Resin is a glass-filled resin that is precise and offers similar stiffness to PEEK and PEKK thermoplastics. It prints with a smooth, matte, polished finish and is highly resistant to heat and chemicals. Choose Rigid 4000 Resin for stiff and strong engineering-grade prototypes, general load-bearing applications, and industrial parts that need to withstand significant loads without bending.
Why Choose Rigid 4000 Resin
Choose Rigid 4000 Resin for applications requiring high stiffness, precision, and thermal and chemical resistance. Reinforced with glass, it resists deformation under various forces, pressures, and torques while offering stiffness comparable to PEEK and PEKK thermoplastics. Printed parts feature a smooth, matte, polished finish that looks and feels like a finished product. Ideal applications include stiff mounts and brackets, jigs and fixtures, thin-walled parts, load-bearing components, and functional engineering prototypes.
