Description
Rigid 10K Resin (Form4) – Extremely High-Stiffness Material
Formlabs Rigid 10K Resin for Extremely Rigid Parts
Rigid 10K Resin (Form4) is a high-performance resin designed for Formlabs Form 4 and Form 3 3D printers, offering exceptional strength, stiffness, and precision. It is one of the materials in Formlabs’ Engineering Resins series, specifically engineered for applications requiring parts with a high degree of rigidity, dimensional stability, and low thermal expansion. This resin is used for functional prototyping and end-use parts that need to withstand mechanical stress and retain their shape under load.

Product Description
Whether you’re optimizing your manufacturing process, rapidly iterating through designs, or assessing form, fit, and function, Formlabs Engineering Resins are formulated to withstand extensive testing and perform under stress.
This highly glass-filled resin is the stiffest material in our engineering portfolio. Choose Rigid 10K Resin for precise industrial parts that need to withstand significant load without bending. Rigid 10K Resin exhibits a smooth matte finish and is highly resistant to heat and chemicals.
The “10K” in the name represents the material’s tensile modulus. If you need a less stiff material, try Rigid 4000 Resin
Supports print resolutions: 100 and 50 microns. Post-curing required.
Why Choose Rigid 10K Resin?
Rigid 10K Resin is a high performance material that is strong, completely stiff, and stable.
Extremely Stiff
Resistant to deformation under a variety of forces, pressures, and torques.High Thermal and Chemical Resistance
Withstands high temperatures and a variety of chemicals.Precise
Produce strong, detailed, and accurate molds or models.Incredible Surface Quality
Exhibits a smooth matte finish.
Applications
Rigid 10K Resin is ideal for creating rigid, strong, industrial-grade prototypes. Rigid 10K Resin can be faster and easier to print compared to milling aluminum and steel.
Consider Rigid 10K Resin for:
Short-run injection mold masters and inserts
Heat resistant and fluid exposed components, jigs, and fixtures
Aerodynamic test models
Simulates stiffness of glass and fiber-filled thermoplastics
