Rapid Model Resin (Discontinued Product)
Broad Compatibility and High-Speed Performance: The Monocure3D Original Rapid MODEL Resin forms an integral part of our core range, designed specifically for MSLA printers. Its formulation is optimised for LED arrays, ensuring a fast and efficient curing process. Expect layer durations of a mere 1.5-3 seconds when used with a standard monochrome LCD printer (MSLA), making it an ultra-fast solution for your 3D printing needs.
Robust and Refined: Unlike typical resins that sacrifice durability for detail, our unique, epoxy-based resin strikes the perfect balance. It constructs models with a sturdy, smooth surface finish, ideal for painting. This resin is not just about speed; it’s about delivering precision and consistent results.
User-Friendly Application: We believe in keeping things simple. A quick bottle shake is all it takes to prepare the Rapid MODEL resin. It’s formulated for low odour and hassle-free printing – no pre-heating required. Just pour, print, and watch your designs come to life with remarkable ease without those annoying print failures!
Vibrant Palette, Vivid Creations: Step beyond the monochrome. Our Rapid Model Resin is available in an extensive array of colours, including transparent Blue, Gunmetal Grey, White, Black and Clear, allowing your models to pop! Whether for hobby models or prototypes, the vibrant colours add a dynamic dimension to your creations.
Tuning to Perfection: We recommend visiting our printer settings page for optimal results. Here, you’ll find comprehensive guidance on fine-tuning your printer with our resin, ensuring you get the best out of every print. If you need further assistance, don’t hesitate to contact us through our support page or sign up to our Facebook Users Group to get instant help from other friendly customers.
Proudly Australian Made & Supported: All our resins are expertly developed and manufactured in Australia, embodying our commitment to high quality, constancy and trust. Our experienced chemists ensure each product meets rigorous standards. Plus, with our 100% Money-back guarantee, you have the confidence to buy, try, and return if you are not completely satisfied. Experience the Monocure3D difference with every purchase.

About Rapid Model Resins
Monocure 3D Rapid Model Resins were initially developed with MSLA printers that use LED arrays to cure the resin. The unique, epoxy-based system creates models that process a hard surface finish without the brittleness you would expect.
This resin is easy to use; give the bottle a quick shake, then pour and print! The typical normal layer durations for an MSLA printer are approx. 2-3 seconds in a printer with a monochrome LCD Screen.
Our Rapid Resins should be post-cured for at least 20-30mins after cleaning. This ensures that the model will not crack or split over time. Please check our printer settings page for all the information to help you dial in your printer with our resin.
RAPID MODEL PRINTING TIPS
Ensure the resin is mixed well by shaking the bottle before every use.
Always ‘dial in’ your Printer using our Calibration Models.
For best results, clean Models with our ResinAway® solution.
To reduce the yellowing, try to Post-Cure using 405nm UV only.
Rapid model resins are versatile as they can be printed between 5 and 100-micron layer heights. To achieve the best results, 3D models should always be sliced solid, if hollowing is required, ensure drain holes are included to remove any trapped resin.
Always angle the model on the build plate to avoid large flat areas that might cause printing problems. These include warping and deformation due to the adhesion to the FEP film. To assist with unsupported areas, ensure you use dense, well-positioned, solid supports.
This resin might print faster than other resins on the market, please adjust your settings accordingly. Use a calibration model from our website to dial in your printer with our resin.
Check our printer setting page to see if we have your printer listed to give you a good starting point.

FINISHING — WHAT'S THE BEST PRACTICE?
- For best results after printing, use ResinAway® for removing uncured resin from the part. Place part in a pre-wash bath filled with ResinAway® and use a soft brush to remove excess resin. Follow by placing the component into an ultrasonic cleaner with ResinAway® for 3-5mins to help remove the resin trapped in the finer detail.
- Ensure parts are dry by using compressed air or patting gently with a lint-free cloth before post-curing – Warning: leaving excess IPA or ResinAway® on parts might result in surface cracking.
- We recommend using a 405nm LED Ultraviolet light to post-cure the model. It is recommended to post-cure for a few minutes, then remove the excess ResinAway® by washing with fresh water. Then place it back in the curing chamber for at least 30 mins to improve the tensile strength of the resin.
- When exposing a part to external elements, apply paint to the surface to improve longevity. Alternatively, the components can be machined, sanded and polished to create a tough scratch resistant surface.
