The Rigid 3K resin presents an impressive set of mechanical and thermal properties, including a Young's modulus reaching 3263 MPa, a tensile strength of 78 MPa, and a noteworthy heat deflection temperature at 0.45 MPa of 97 °C. Its Izod notched impact rating of 30 J/m underscores its resilience, ensuring reliable performance in challenging environments. This meticulously balanced combination of properties positions Rigid 3K Resin as a formidable choice for applications necessitating both structural integrity and thermal resilience, for example for the additive manufacturing of robust prototypes, intricate thin-wall functional components, connectors, brackets, jigs & fixtures, and mounts.

The ideal equipment for the 3D printing of the Raise3D Rigid 3K resin is the Raise3D DF2 solution comprising of the DF2 DLP 3D printer, the auto-feeding station, and the DF Wash and DF Cure post-processing devices. The Raise3D DF2 solution provides swift printing, seamless surfaces, accuracy, and dependability for engineering prototypes, aids in manufacturing, and low-volume production. Unlike the complex DLP process in other comparable systems in the market, the intelligent build plate, coupled with an RFID tag, and the straightforward operation of these machines streamline the entire printing, washing, and post-curing stages, guaranteeing uniformity and effectiveness.
