Asiga PRO 4K Low Force Build Tray
The Asiga PRO 4K Low Force Build Tray is designed for reliable printing of flexible and elastomeric materials with Asiga PRO and MAX series 3D printers. The tray uses a specialized film that reduces peel forces during layer separation, helping to improve printing stability for delicate or flexible geometries.
Lower separation forces reduce the risk of deformation or cracking during printing, making this tray particularly suitable for parts with thin walls, fine details, and flexible structures. This design improves success rates when working with soft materials and sensitive geometries that may be difficult to print using standard build trays.
The Low Force tray is commonly used in dental, audiology, jewelry, and industrial applications where precision and material flexibility are required.
| Tray type (Asiga) | Description and construction | Recommended materials/applications | Advantages | Limitations |
| Universal™ | Standard tray with a flexible film in a rigid frame, designed for most Asiga resins. It produces a matte, fine surface finish and is compatible with many models (Max, Pico, Pro, etc.). | Broad range of tasks: diagnostic models, prototypes, general dental prints. Suitable for hard resins, so it’s used in most medical, dental and engineering applications. | Affordable and durable; works with many materials; provides a predictable matte finish (requires little post‑processing). | Does not give a high-gloss finish—parts have a matte surface; heavy or sticky resins can wear the film faster; for glossy parts you need UltraGloss. |
| UltraGLOSS™ | Tray with a film that keeps a thin layer of liquid resin (LIFT technology). It allows you to print clear parts with a glossy, pre‑polished surface, eliminating manual polishing; after printing you just wash and cure normally. | Transparent materials: night guards, occlusal splints, clear ear moulds, lenses, visors and other parts where shine is important. | Parts come out glossy straight away, reducing polishing by about 90%; especially useful for aesthetic items—splints, shields, visors. | Mainly for transparent resins; each resin may need testing; the trays are more expensive than standard ones and only work with certain models (MAX, MAX X, PRO 4K, Ultra). |
| Low Force™ | Tray with a special film that reduces peel forces during layer separation, lowering the risk of deformation or cracking in delicate or flexible parts. | Elastomeric resins: flexible splints, soft gingiva, orthodontic transfer trays, delicate orthodontic hooks, soft hearing‑aid shells, microfluidic components, miniatures. | Lower peel forces → better printing of thin, flexible or fragile parts; reduces printing failures. | Not ideal for very hard resins—Asiga recommends standard or Endurance trays in those cases; may require adjustments to supports or exposure settings; available only for certain models (MAX/MAX X/Pro 4K). |
Key takeaways
- Universal trays are the most versatile. They’re ideal for most jobs when a matte/semi-matte finish and high accuracy are needed.
- UltraGLOSS trays are chosen when you need clear parts with a glossy surface. They produce clear, polished splints, guards and other aesthetic items straight out of the printer. They cost more and are designed for clear resins.
- Low Force trays are tailored for flexible or thin parts. They reduce peel forces, which helps protect delicate geometries and elastomeric materials. They’re not suitable for very hard resins.
The right choice depends on what you’re printing: universal for general hard resins, UltraGLOSS for clear glossy parts, and Low Force for flexible or delicate prints.
