Rigid Ceramic resin is an extremely hard and stiff type of resin for all-purpose use
This high performance resin can be used for all types of open-source resin 3D printers (SLA, DLP and LCD/MSLA) within the range of 385 – 420 nanometers. This is one of the hardest and stiffest resins on the market.
Due to these unique properties, Rigid Ceramic Resin is used for industrial and professional applications, such as prototypes, liquid reservoirs, electrical housings and even as injection molds for small series production.

Features Rigid Ceramic Resin:
- Very strong and excellent mechanical properties
- Very stiff (bending strength 170 MPa)
- Flexural modulus of 9.5 GPa
- Excellent chemical and heat resistance
- Suitable for all types of Resin 3D printers
Commissioning:
- Resins consist of chemicals: When using resins, therefore, always wear protection and protective aids such as nitrin gloves, safety glasses and a mouth mask against gases and vapors type FFP2 or type A.
- Avoid contact with skin, eyes and inhalation of toxic fumes; therefore wear a suitable face mask > read the safety regulations for the use of resin carefully.
- Shake the bottle for at least 2 minutes
- Then let the bottle rest for 10 minutes to get the air bubbles away
Post-processing:
- We advise you to post-treat the 3D print to obtain the correct material properties
- Rinse your 3D print for 5 minutes in a bath of IPA or BioEthanol in an ultrasonic cleaner
- Make sure your print is completely dry for further post-processing
- The 3D print must dry for at least 30 minutes in a well-ventilated area
- Place the resin 3D print in a curing unit to cure under the influence of a UV source for about 20-30 minutes at 65°C
- A wavelength of 300-410 nanometers is preferred
Work order post-processing:
- Remove the print
- Clean the print with IPA or BioEthanol
- Let the print dry well
- Remove the support
- Cure the print in a curing chamber under a certain temperature and UV light
- Optional finishing (sanding, polishing, priming and painting)
-
