Formlabs High Temp Resin (Form 4) 1 L

Formlabs High Temp Resin (Form 4) 1 L

High Temp Resin features a heat deflection temperature (HDT) of 238 °C @ 0.45 MPa — the highest among Formlabs resins. It is specifically designed to produce detailed, precise prototypes and functional parts that require exceptional thermal stability under significant heat and pressure.

This 1-litre cartridge is optimised for the Form 4 ecosystem, providing a reliable solution for high-temperature engineering applications. It is an excellent choice for parts exposed to hot air, gas, and fluid flow, as well as heat-resistant mounts, housings, and fixtures that must maintain their dimensional integrity in extreme conditions.

Why choose High Temp Resin?

As the best material for stability under heat, High Temp Resin offers the highest thermal resistance of any Formlabs material, enabling the 3D printing of parts that would otherwise require traditional machining.

• Highest thermal stability: withstands extreme heat with an HDT of 238 °C, far exceeding standard engineering resins.
• Precision and detail: produces highly accurate parts with fine features, ideal for intricate moulds and inserts.
• Ease of use: Formlabs' accessible technology makes it simple to experiment with and validate high-temperature applications in-house.
• Versatile performance: maintains high stiffness and strength (2.8 GPa tensile modulus) even when subjected to thermal stress.

Applications for High Temp Resin:

With the highest heat deflection temperature of any Formlabs material, High Temp Resin is ideal for applications requiring resistance to extreme environments.

• Manufacturing tooling: moulds, core inserts, and master patterns for overmoulding and casting.
• Fluid management: components for hot air, gas, and fluid flow such as manifolds and nozzles.
• Environmental testing: heat-resistant mounts, housings, and fixtures for laboratory or industrial use.
• Electronics: protective casings and internal components for devices that generate significant heat.

Post-processing

Washing

The foundational step in any SLA post-processing workflow is to remove any excess resin on the surface of the parts through an alcohol or ether wash.

Curing

Post-curing engineering and specialty resins is essential for parts to achieve their full strength and functionality. This step completes the chemical reaction initiated during printing, transforming the part from its green state into a fully finished component.

Note: Only compatible with the Formlabs Form 4 series resin printer.
