Liqcreate Rigid Pro
High Strength and Rigidity for Professional Applications
Liqcreate Rigid Pro is a top-tier black photopolymer resin designed for Digital Light Processing (DLP), Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), and laser-based 3D-printers. Specifically engineered for industrial applications, this resin is ideal for projects requiring high strength, low shrinkage, and exceptional rigidity. Compatible with most open DLP, MSLA, and laser-based 3D-printers operating at wavelengths of 385-405nm, Liqcreate Rigid Pro ensures high-quality prints with excellent stiffness, durability, and temperature resistance. This makes it a perfect choice for creating parts such as pulleys, automotive connectors, covers, brackets, housings, and other demanding engineering components. Achieving optimal strength requires UV post-curing with heat, and an optional thermal curing step can further enhance thermal performance.

HOW TO USE:
- Shake the bottle for at least 60 seconds before use.
- Allow the resin to rest for 10 minutes after shaking to let air bubbles escape before pouring into resin vat.
Note: This resin can be poured back into the bottle after use, however, it is important to check for residual pieces of polymer before doing so. Always take protective measures when handling Liqcreate resins. For more details on safety please check the attached Safety Data Sheet.
