LOCTITE® 3D IND403™ High Modulus

LOCTITE® 3D IND403™ High Modulus for Durable, High-Precision Components

Technical Overview

LOCTITE® 3D IND403™ is a single-component, high-modulus photopolymer resin developed for producing stiff, dimensionally accurate parts. Its primary differentiator is the combination of high strength and an excellent surface finish, which minimizes the need for extensive post-processing. This material is formulated to deliver consistent, repeatable results for demanding industrial applications where precision is critical.

Performance and Thermal Stability

This material exhibits a strong balance of mechanical and thermal properties. With a heat deflection temperature (HDT) of 80°C, components made from IND403 maintain their structural integrity and accuracy under moderate thermal loads. Its high stiffness makes it ideal for jigs, fixtures, and tooling that must resist deflection. Furthermore, the material is machinable, allowing for secondary operations like drilling or tapping to meet final application requirements.

Design and Processing Considerations

Developed for professional DLP 3D printing systems, IND403 is engineered for high-resolution and reliable printing. The material's smooth as-printed surface quality can significantly reduce or eliminate the need for manual finishing, streamlining the overall production workflow. Its predictable performance ensures high first-print success rates for complex geometries.

Lifecycle: From Prototyping to Production

While suitable for creating highly functional, defined prototypes, LOCTITE® 3D IND403™ is primarily positioned for production applications. Its durability and precision make it an excellent choice for manufacturing aids, low-to-moderate temperature molds, and custom end-use parts, enabling a defined transition from final validation to series production.
