Rigid Opaque

By Prototyping Solutions on February 3, 2016

3D print detailed models with vibrant color

Combining dimensional stability and fine detail, Rigid Opaque materials simulate the appearance of production parts, and are even suitable for rapid tooling.

And with Connex3 systems, Rigid Opaque materials come in brilliant colors, from jet black to sunny yellow to shocking magenta, along with hundreds of blended hues.

3D Printing With Rigid Opaque Material

Rigid Opaque photopolymers provide excellent detail visualization in gray, black, white and blue. You can 3D print accurate, attractive prototypes that test fit, form and function, even for moving and assembled parts. You can also produce smooth, accurate jigs, fixtures and manufacturing tooling; the blue shade is ideal for silicon molding.

For the Objet30 Pro, Objet30 Prime and all Eden, Connex, Connex1 and Connex2 3D Printers, the Rigid Opaque Vero family includes:

  • Rigid Opaque white material (VeroWhitePlus RGD835)
  • Rigid Opaque gray material (VeroGray RGD850)
  • Rigid Opaque blue material (VeroBlue RGD840)
  • Rigid Opaque black material (VeroBlackPlus RGD875)

With Connex, Connex2 and Connex3 3D Printers, you can use Digital Materials to simulate a variety of shades by combining Rigid Opaque white (VeroWhitePlus) and Rubber-like black (TangoBlackPlus) materials.

Brilliant color

For Connex3 systems, the Vero family also includes:

  • VeroCyan
  • VeroMagenta
  • VeroYellow
  • VeroBlack
  • VeroWhitePlus (not compatible with Stratasys Creative Colors)
  • Vero PureWhite, a brilliant white 20 percent brighter than VeroWhitePlus with twice the opacity

This enables Connex3 systems to create hundreds of digital colors, blended right in the 3D printer. You can incorporate as many as 46 vibrant, repeatable rigid colors into one 3D model for unprecedented design freedom. These color materials also blend with VeroClear Transparent photopolymer for beautiful translucent color, and with Rubber-like materials for a range of hues and hardnesses.

Easy support removal

Increase productivity and gain even more design freedom with the ability to easily remove support material from delicate features and small cavities. Soluble support material (SUP706) empowers hands-free removal, plus improved manual or WaterJet removal. It is compatible with all PolyJet materials (except hearing aid and dental materials) and works on all Connex1, Connex2 and Connex3 systems.
