RGD450 (Rigur) overview
RGD450 (Rigur) is a tough white PolyJet resin for prototypes that look and behave like polypropylene parts. It flexes without cracking, so snap-fits, clips and living hinges can be tested as working parts, and its smooth finish lets the same print double as an appearance model. Rigur prints in the same build as rubber-like Agilus30 or clear VeroClear, giving overmoulded grips, built-in seals and clear lenses in one part. Designers in consumer goods, appliances, electronics, packaging and automotive interiors use it to check form, fit and function before tooling.
How RGD450 (Rigur) is manufactured
RGD450 (Rigur) is manufactured using PolyJet 3D printing on Stratasys Connex systems, which jet microscopic droplets of photopolymer and cure each layer with UV light as it is printed. Parts come off the printer with exceptional surface smoothness and are ready to handle with no post-curing once the gel-like support is washed away or dissolved. Rigur prints alongside rubber-like Agilus30 for gaskets and seals or clear VeroClear for lenses and light pipes in a single build, creating overmoulded parts, soft-touch surfaces and living hinges without assembly.

Industry applications
Industry applications for RGD450 (Rigur)
RGD450 (Rigur) outperforms standard rigid PolyJet resins on impact strength and finishes with minimal layer lines, so the same print works as a test part and an appearance model. It is built for testing form, fit and function in snap-fit assemblies, living hinges, durable housings and packaging.
The material's primary value lies in multi-material prototyping, where Rigur serves as the rigid substrate combined with Agilus30 soft-touch areas or clear VeroClear regions in the same build. This combination allows designers to evaluate overmoulded designs, living hinges and multi-durometer assemblies, with prototypes that simulate production part aesthetics, before committing to tooling.
These prototypes provide visual and tactile feedback for design reviews, stakeholder communication and investor presentations, and they are tough enough for real snap-fit and hinge testing. Its uses span consumer goods, household appliances, consumer electronics and automotive parts, and automotive designers use it for dashboard and interior trim prototypes. From first concept models to pre-tooling validation, teams rely on Rigur to hold tight tolerances and reduce assembly complexity through consolidated part designs.

Industrial Design & Packaging
Overmoulded & Multi-Durometer Prototypes
Product and packaging designers use Rigur with Agilus30 to prototype overmoulded grips, soft-touch buttons and closures, so ergonomics and design intent can be checked by hand before tooling. Rigur forms the rigid body while the printer blends the two resins into rubber-like zones from Shore A 40 to 95, so a container lid prints with its latches and seal already in place. The same builds model gaskets and watertight buttons for IP-rated designs, along with dispensing closures, toothbrush handles, kitchen tools and toy concepts.

Museums & Exhibits
Tactile Exhibit Models
Exhibit designers use Rigur for touch models that visitors handle every day. For a long-term exhibit on how low gravity affects bone density, Forge filled the scanned bone with a clear VeroClear matrix in the same build, leaving only 1 mm of Rigur bone texture exposed on the top surface, enough for visitors to feel without fragile features to break. A keyed base holds each model in place, and the display withstands daily visitor interaction.

Bone & Anatomy Teaching Models
Rigur suits anatomy models built from scan data, where its rigid white finish reads as bone. Forge prints PolyJet anatomical training models, and setting Rigur bone against clear tissue lets learners and patients see internal structure in three dimensions in training, demonstration and patient education models.

Mechanical performance
Mechanical properties
RGD450 (Rigur) delivers dependable strength and impact resistance for functional prototypes requiring snap-fit assemblies, living hinges and compliant mechanisms. Its balanced mechanical profile maintains structural integrity while preventing brittleness, so clips and hinge webs flex and return during assembly testing.
Stratasys publishes each value as a range. Read the modulus and elongation values together: Rigur gives up some stiffness for stretch, which is what lets snap-fits engage without cracking. Generous radii at clip roots and bosses help parts survive repeated assembly.

Heat performance
Thermal properties
Heat deflection and glass transition values show where Rigur begins to soften, so it suits room-temperature fit checks, handling, design reviews and display rather than heated environments. The deflection temperature drops as load rises, so check both heat and load when a prototype sits near motors, lamps or direct sun.
For hot-air paths, under-hood tests or parts exposed to heat sources, choose High Temperature resin or a nylon instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions about RGD450 (Rigur)
Can't find the answer you're looking for? Reach out to our customer support team.
- RGD450 (Rigur) is known for superior impact resistance compared to standard rigid resins, with a notched Izod impact strength of 30 to 35 J/m, and enhanced elongation at break of 20 to 35% for ductile assemblies. It has a tensile strength of 40 to 45 MPa and an excellent surface finish with minimal layer lines, making it suitable for product design and consumer electronics prototypes.
- In PolyJet printing, Stratasys Connex systems jet droplets of liquid Rigur and cure each layer with UV light, at layer heights from 0.016 to 0.03 mm. The gel-like support is washed away or dissolved and parts need no post-curing. Rigur can share a build with rubber-like Agilus30 or clear VeroClear, so overmoulded and multi-material prototypes print as one part.
- RGD450 (Rigur) is used for snap-fit assemblies, living hinges, durable housings, closures and packaging, overmoulded and multi-durometer prototypes with Agilus30, appearance models for design reviews, automotive dashboard and interior trim prototypes, and tactile exhibit and anatomy models. Stratasys names consumer goods, household appliances, consumer electronics and automotive parts among its uses.
- RGD450 (Rigur) looks and behaves like polypropylene, is tougher than standard rigid PolyJet resins, and comes off the printer with a smooth surface and no post-curing. It offers good dimensional stability and accuracy and easy support removal, and it works in multi-material builds and takes paint and coatings.
- Yes. Rigur prints in the same build as rubber-like Agilus30 or clear VeroClear. Blended with Agilus30, it produces rubber-like zones from Shore A 40 to 95 and a range of grey shades, which is how overmoulded grips, seals and soft-touch buttons are prototyped as a single part.
- RGD450 (Rigur) has limited temperature resistance compared to engineering plastics, with a heat deflection temperature of 49 to 54 °C at 0.45 MPa, so it is a prototyping material rather than one for end-use or heated parts. Overhangs need support structures. Rigur prints bright white, so other colours are painted, and parts displayed outdoors should be coated against UV exposure.
