KS1208H High-Temperature Resin 3D printing material

High-temperature resin 3D printing at KAD3D — The 135 °C resin — SLA detail for parts that meet real heat.

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.

Typical applications include Injection-mould inserts, hot-air ducting fixtures, and thermal test fixtures.

KS1208H High-Temperature Resin technical profile

Produced with SLA, High-temperature resin 3D printing typically offers a tensile strength around 65 MPa, elongation at break near 3%, heat deflection about 135 °C, a density of 1.16 g/cm³, a hardness of ~85 Shore D and water absorption around 0.3%. Full technical data is listed in the table below.

For dimensional work, KS1208H High-Temperature Resin supports a typical layer height or tolerance of ±0.10–0.20 mm or ±0.2%.

This makes KS1208H High-Temperature Resin a strong choice for parts that need heat over 100 °c and fine detail.

Finishing options for KS1208H High-Temperature Resin include Heat Treatment, Sanding, Painting / Priming and Machining.

Standard turnaround for KS1208H High-Temperature Resin is 10 business days, with an express option in 2–4 business days, from order confirmation and delivered Australia-wide.

Commonly chosen by Melbourne and Geelong tooling teams for short-run heat-exposed fixtures and mould inserts where SLA detail must survive thermal cycling.

Finish, colour and size

Very smooth, semi-transparent yellow off the printer; holds fine detail through thermal cycling. The most popular finish is Thermal post-cure for full heat resistance; machine critical faces. Available semi-transparent yellow, per manufacturer. Maximum build size is up to 2700 × 900 × 800 mm.

How High-temperature resin 3D printing is made

SLA (stereolithography) cures liquid resin with a precise light source, giving smooth surfaces and fine detail that suit visual models and master patterns. You can read more about the SLA process on Wikipedia.

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.
