Whether you’re optimizing your manufacturing process, rapidly iterating through designs, or assessing form, fit, and function, Formlabs Engineering Resins are formulated to withstand extensive testing and perform under stress. Tough 1500 Resin is the most resilient material in our functional family of Tough and Durable Resins. Choose Tough 1500 Resin for stiff and pliable parts that bend and spring back quickly.
Prototypes that repeatedly bend and quickly return to shape, jigs and fixtures requiring repeated deflection, simulating the strength and stiffness of polypropylene (PP)
Tough 1500 Resin is certified safe for skin contact, also making it an ideal material for wearables, personal protective equipment, and other consumer goods. For parts to be certified safe for skin contact, the recommended Tough 1500 Resin post-processing conditions must be followed without deviation.
Supports print resolutions: 100 and 50 microns. Post-curing required.
Why Choose Tough 1500 Resin?
Tough 1500 Resin combines stiffness and elongation to offer a middle ground between Durable Resin and Tough 2000 Resin.
- Pliable
Absorbs shocks of energy and supports repeated deflection. - Fast Springback
Strain parts that will spring back to their original shape when that stress is relieved. - Stiff
Compliant but also maintains overall rigidity. - Biocompatible
Certified for long-term skin contact.
Applications
Tough 1500 Resin is ideal for resilient prototyping or simulating the strength and stiffness of polypropylene (PP).
Consider Tough 1500 Resin for:
- Prototypes that repeatedly bend and quickly return to shape
- Jigs and fixtures requiring repeated deflection
- Wearables, personal protective equipment, and other consumer goods
