PU Rigid 1000
Hybrid Chemistry Polyurethane Resin
PU Rigid 1000 SLA 3D printing material is formulated with a hybrid chemistry which allows it to be compatible with Formlabs SLA 3D printers. Parts produced with PU Rigid 1000 have exceptional impact strength and the physical properties of polyurethane, thus making it ideal for end-use applications that are intended to be exposed to harsh conditions. Also, this resin has been evaluated as a skin contacting device in accordance with ISO 10993-1.
Disclaimer | For commercial and research use only. Not for use in or around households or residences, or for recreation purposes, or outside of a commercial or research facility or institution.
Formulated to withstand extensive testing and perform under stress.
PU Rigid 1000 is not just another polyurethane material; it’s a superior semi-rigid and robust resin tailored for applications that demand resilience. Its exceptional ability to withstand repeated high impacts and thrive in harsh environments makes it a great choice for industries looking for durability and performance.
Not recommended for same-day prototyping.

3D Printing Workflow
STEP 1
Produce 3D File(s)
Using PreForm™ software, generate your print file with proper supports, orientation, and layout and then upload the file to your 3D printer.
STEP 2
Prepare the 3D Printer
Fill the self-dispensing cartridge with PU resin carefully. Subsequently, properly insert the cartridge into the 3D printer, ensuring it’s within a dry cabinet. It’s important to load your Build Platform and Resin Tank accurately to initiate the 3D printing process.
STEP 3
3D Print
Simply follow the clear prompts on the user-friendly touchscreen to confidently start your print.
STEP 4
Post-Processing
Place the Build Platform in a brief PGDA wash, then allow the parts to air dry or use an air compressor. Remove the parts from the platform and from the supports. When dry, set the parts in the humidity cure chamber for a minimum of a couple of days of post-curing.

NOTES
To clean PU Rigid 650 Resin components, use Propylene Glycol Diacetate (PGDA). Ensure the parts are thoroughly air-dried. Consider using an air compressor or rinsing with N-butyl acetate to speed up the drying process.

Data for post-cured samples were measured on Type I tensile bars printed on a Form 2 printer with 100 µm PU R1000 Resin settings, washed in a Form Wash for 2 minutes in ≥99% PGDA, and post-cured.
ISO 10993 standard testing samples were printed on a Form 3 with 100um PU Rigid 1000 Resin settings, washed in a Form Wash for 5 minutes in ≥99% PGDA, dried for at least 24 hours, and post-cured in an oven at 46°C and 70%RH for 3 days.
