Athena II Resin Vat

The Athena II Pro Resin Vat is a cast aluminum resin vat with integrated heating, designed for demanding, professional resin printing workflows. Built to withstand frequent resin changes, daily operation, and a wide range of material viscosities, the Pro Vat delivers improved durability, better handling, and more consistent print results in controlled thermal conditions.

Designed specifically for the Athena II platform, this vat combines mechanical robustness with active temperature management for reliable, repeatable printing.

Choose your vat condition

• Standard - With handles: The undamaged vat, supplied with handles.
• Cosmetic damage - No handles: A discounted vat with scratches and/or paint chips. Handles are not included. The appearance of the scratches and paint chips varies between units.

Key Features

• Cast aluminum construction
  Provides excellent rigidity, durability, and thermal stability, helping maintain consistent film tension and reliable layer separation.

• Integrated resin heater strip
  Built-in heating allows the resin temperature to be actively controlled, improving print reliability and material consistency, especially in cooler environments or with higher-viscosity resins.

• Pogo pin electrical interface
  Automatic pogo pin contact supplies power to the heater and reads temperature data when the vat is installed—no cables to plug in or remove.

• Internal thermistor
  Continuously monitors resin temperature, enabling closed-loop temperature control through the Athena system.

• Refined pour spout design
  Enables clean, controlled resin pouring to reduce mess and minimize waste during resin changes or cleaning.

• Vertical handles on the standard variant
  The standard variant includes handles for removal, transport, and pouring. Handles are not included with the cosmetic-damage variant.

• Consistent film clamping and sealing
  Ensures uniform film tension and reliable sealing for repeatable print performance.

Built for Professional Workflows

The Athena II Pro Resin Vat is intended for users who print frequently and require controlled resin temperatures for optimal results. By combining cast aluminum construction with active heating and temperature feedback, the Pro Vat helps reduce print variability and improve material performance across a wide range of resins.
