Pros
- 10,000 MPa flexural modulus — stiffer than many metals
- Excellent dimensional stability
- Low creep
- Good temperature resistance
Cons
- Very brittle
- Abrasive to FEP films — shorter vat life
- Expensive
- Requires aggressive post-cure
- Limited to engineering workflows
Best For
- CMM fixtures|Jigs and gauges|Connector housings|Injection mold inserts|Precision brackets
Avoid For
- Impact-prone parts|Thin walls|Hobby printing
Storage
Store in original cartridge or opaque sealed container. Stir before use — glass particles settle. HDT increases significantly with longer post-cure.
