Rigid Resin
Rigid Resin is a high strength polymer — stiff glass-filled resin. Typical values: 75 MPa yield, 1.18 g/cm³, rated to 75 °C. Available for Injection molding, 3D printing at FabDigit.
Properties
Typical room-temperature values in the Glass Filled condition. Metric first, imperial in gray. The bars show where Rigid Resin sits against the other 74 polymer grades in the catalog.

Property data is compiled from published supplier and standards handbooks and normalised for comparison; hardness values on non-Brinell scales are converted approximately for charting only. Manufacturability limits are FabDigit quote-engine defaults and may be relaxed by engineering review. Nothing on this page is a certification — request mill certs, CoC or material test reports with your order.
