The Table Gamers' Resin™ - and much more!
HERO HD is a high-performance tabletop resin engineered specifically for miniatures, terrain, and detailed gaming pieces where durability, flexibility, and surface quality matter just as much as visual fidelity. This resin was designed to survive real gameplay—handling, drops, transport, and repeated use—without sacrificing crisp detail or printability.
A key differentiator of HERO HD is its ability to be fully cured through thermal post-curing at 215 - 275 °F (135 °C) for 30m to 1 hour, with UV curing remaining optional. Thermal curing drives deeper polymer conversion, improving toughness, dimensional stability, and long-term consistency while reducing residual reactive species. The result is parts with greater resistance to creep and stress, wider safety margins for repeated handling, and more predictable performance over time. Read more about thermal curing here.
With a balanced mechanical profile, HERO HD delivers excellent toughness and flexibility, allowing fine features like weapons, fingers, and thin walls to flex instead of snap. Elongation in the 30–35% range provides real-world resilience, while a Shore D hardness of 77 keeps prints solid and stable once cured.
HERO HD prints cleanly across common UV platforms, supporting 365 nm, 395 nm, and 405 nm light engines. Its mid-range viscosity (550–650 cP) ensures reliable flow, sharp detail reproduction, and consistent layer formation, even on complex or densely packed builds.
Key Features:
- Built specifically for tabletop miniatures and gaming pieces.
- Tough, rigid-flexible parts that resist snapping and cracking.
- Excellent surface detail and paint adhesion.
- Compatible with 365–405 nm printers.
- Low shrinkage for accurate, repeatable results.
Beyond Tabletop Gaming
Thanks to its balanced mechanical behavior, HERO HD is well-suited for applications such as:
-
Functional prototypes requiring durability without brittleness.
-
Snap-fit and press-fit components.
-
Protective housings and covers.
-
Jigs, fixtures, and shop aids.
-
Consumer product prototypes.
-
Educational and demonstration models.
-
General production where toughness and repeatability matter.
