Ultracur3D® RG 3280
Ceramic-Filled Resin with Exceptionally High Stiffness and Temperature Resistance
Ultracur3D® RG 3280 is the first composite material we are adding to our rigid product line. Due to the high loading of ceramic particles, this material has an extremely high stiffness around 10 GPa and an HDT B above 280°C.

These outstanding properties place Ultracur3D® RG 3280 in an exceptional position among our other resins. Moreover, despite the high particle loading, the viscosity is kept low, and the settling of particles is limited, making this resin very easy to handle and print. Its high stiffness and temperature resistance make this the perfect material for tooling, molding, and wind tunnel testing.
The material has a white, ceramic-like color and feel.
