Rigid 3K Resin
Rigid engineering end-use parts
Rigid 3K Resin is designed for stiff and strong parts where high strength, high rigidity and heat resistance are required. This material delivers excellent results in part accuracy as well as mechanical and thermal properties.
Rigid 3K Resin is a great performance material for a wide range of engineering end-use parts under various working conditions, such as thin-wall functional parts, connectors, brackets, jigs & fixtures, and mounts and brackets.

Printing Settings
It is recommended to use the default printing profiles available in ideaMaker.
After printing, it’s recommended to not leave a successful but unwashed model in the printer for too long. This will prevent the model from over-swelling, which may cause dimensional deviations or support softening.
For more printing information, please read Raise3D DF2 3D Printer User Manual.
Cleaning
Rigid 3K Grey V1 Resin requires cleaning to achieve the ideal properties of the printed part.
There is no need to remove support structures from the printed part, and the part should then be washed before post-curing, until the surface is free of any solvent residue.
For special structures or fine details, such as small holes, it’s recommended to clean manually, then blow dry the part with compressed air/nitrogen to remove residual solvent from the surface, or leave the part for a short time at room temperature to dry. Post-cure the model until the surface is free of any solvent residue.
Please refer to the chart on the right for the recommended washing parameters with Raise3D DF Wash.
| Wash Time | Wash Drying Time | |
| Recommended washing parameters | 10 min | 10 min |
Post-curing
After cleaning, Rigid 3K Grey V1 parts requires post-curing to achieve optimal properties. Please refer to the chart on the right for the parameters with Raise3D DF Cure.
Setting 1: For prototyping uses.
Setting 2: To achieve the best resin properties, as indicated in the TDS (default parameters in ideaMaker).
| UV Curing Time | Heat Curing Time | Heat Curing Temperature | |
| Setting 1 | 10 min | 10 min | 70℃ |
| Setting 2 | 60 min | 0 min | N/A |
