KS1208H High-Temperature Resin — SLA 3D printing

SLA Available Express available

The 135 °C resin — SLA detail for parts that meet real heat.

KS1208H High-Temperature Resin 3D printing material

KS1208H is Kings' high-temperature SLA resin, rated to around 135 °C, in a semi-transparent yellow. It holds SLA detail through thermal cycling for short-run heat-exposed tooling and fixtures. Like other high-temp resins it is stiff and brittle, so it suits thermal duty rather than impact.

What KS1208H High-Temperature Resin is used for

The high-temperature resin is used for heat-facing parts: hot-air and mould tooling, fixtures near heat sources, and prototypes that must hold their shape at elevated temperatures.

Finishing & post-processing for KS1208H High-Temperature Resin

Parts printed in KS1208H High-Temperature Resin in SLA can be finished a number of ways at KAD3D, from a clean functional surface to a fully painted, display-ready result. The treatments below are the ones we most often apply to this material.

Heat Treatment
A furnace cycle develops the material’s full mechanical properties — essential for metals to reach their rated strength.
Sanding
Hand or machine sanding knocks back layer lines and blemishes, stepping up through grits toward a smooth, even surface ready for paint or display.
Painting / Priming
Primer fills the last micro-texture so colour coats lie down evenly; the part can then be finished in any custom colour, gloss level or brand match.
Machining
CNC machining or drilling adds precision features — flat mating faces, bores and tapped holes — to tolerances tighter than printing alone.

What this material supports

✓ Paintable ✓ Easy to sand
  • Paint & custom colour: KS1208H High-Temperature Resin primes and paints well, so parts can be matched to any brand colour, gloss level or metallic look.
  • Sanding & smoothing: responds well to sanding, so layer lines can be worked back to a smooth, paint-ready surface.

Most popular finish: Thermal post-cure for full heat resistance; machine critical faces.
