Tough, heat-resistant SLA in a ready black — no painting required.
Black ABS-like resin 3D printing at KAD3D — Tough, heat-resistant SLA in a ready black — no painting required.
KS808-BK is Kings' black tough ABS-like SLA resin: the toughness and ~70 °C heat resistance of KS608A in a finished black, so functional prototypes and enclosures come off the printer in colour without painting.
This tough black resin is used for functional, ABS-like prototypes — snap-fit housings, brackets and enclosures — that need fine detail together with enough toughness to be assembled and handled.
Typical applications include Functional prototypes, enclosures with clips, and finished black presentation parts.
Produced with SLA, Black ABS-like resin 3D printing typically offers a tensile strength around 28 MPa, elongation at break near 16%, heat deflection about 68 °C, a density of 1.15 g/cm³, a hardness of 76–82 Shore D and water absorption around 0.4%. Full technical data is listed in the table below.
For dimensional work, KS808-BK Black Tough ABS-like Resin supports a typical layer height or tolerance of ±0.10–0.20 mm or ±0.2%.
This makes KS808-BK Black Tough ABS-like Resin a strong choice for parts that need fine detail and impact-tough.
Finishing options for KS808-BK Black Tough ABS-like Resin include Sanding, Painting / Priming, Polishing and Electroplating.
Standard turnaround for KS808-BK Black Tough ABS-like Resin is 10 business days, with an express option in 2–4 business days, from order confirmation and delivered Australia-wide.
Often chosen by Melbourne and Perth product teams for functional black enclosures and prototypes that need toughness and a finished colour straight off the printer.
Behaves like moulded ABS for prototyping.
Very smooth, glossy-to-matte off the printer in black; sands and plates well. The most popular finish is Print in black and matte- or gloss-finish as needed; plate for a metal look. Available in black, per manufacturer. Maximum build size is up to 2700 × 900 × 800 mm.
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.
To get the best results with KS808-BK Black Tough ABS-like Resin, send your part as an STL, STEP or 3MF file and tell us the intended use, the tolerances that matter and any cosmetic finish you need. Our team confirms the ideal build orientation, wall thickness and infill, and flags anything that could affect strength, accuracy or surface quality before printing begins.
