We are pleased to announce that the Formlabs Tough 1500 Resin is now available. The Tough 1500 Resin is the latest addition to the Formlabs resin library for the Formlabs Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printers<\/a>, including the Form 3<\/a>, Form 3L<\/a> and Form 2<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Tough 1500 Resin can be used to produce stiff and flexible parts that bend and spring back quickly under cyclic loading. This material is ideal for functional prototypes, fixtures and connectors that are temporarily bent. It also simulates polypropylene parts in terms of stiffness and strength. <\/p>\n

Formlabs Tough 1500 Resin is the most resistant material in the Formlabs Engineering Resin<\/a> family. The Tough Resin, Tough 1500 Resin and Durable Resin resins behave relatively similarly under an applied force. However, these materials can be clearly differentiated by comparing key properties such as stiffness and elongation. <\/p>\n

What is the Tough 1500 Resin suitable for?<\/h2>\n

Formlabs Tough 1500 Resin is ideal for prototypes and fasteners that need to bend but also spring back to their original shape quickly. Some typical examples of this are springs, snap-fit connections and press fits and hinges. <\/p>\n

Tough 1500 Resin is therefore also suitable for devices that are repeatedly bent or subjected to impacts. The balance of stiffness, strength and impact resistance makes this resin perfect for many manufacturing environments. <\/p>\n

Prototype production of PP parts from Formlabs Tough 1500 synthetic resin<\/h3>\n

Polypropylene (PP) is a common thermoplastic used in numerous products in the consumer goods industry. Use Tough 1500 Resin to simulate the strength and stiffness of products to be made from polypropylene. <\/p>\n

Key technical data of the Formlabs Tough 1500 Resin<\/h2>\n

In order to assess materials and use them correctly, it is important to understand their technical properties. For this reason, we will briefly highlight the key technical data of Tough 1500 Resin here. The elongation and tensile modulus of Tough 1500 Resin are very well balanced, giving the material high resistance and fast springback. <\/p>\n

The value for elongation is an indicator of how much a material can be stretched or bent. The size of the tensile modulus, on the other hand, indicates how stiff a material is or how easily a material can be stretched or bent. <\/p>\n

Components made from Tough 1500 can therefore be bent considerably. On the other hand, they quickly return to their original shape. <\/p>\n\n
