Tough 1500 V2: Formlabs' new technical resin for strong and flexible parts
Formlabs introduces the new Tough 1500 Resin V2, a high-performance resin designed to make resilient, durable and impact-resistant functional parts. With a toughness comparable to polypropylene, the new formulation is a major step up from the previous version, offering improved mechanical performance and greater reliability for advanced applications.
A very strong and durable resin for robust parts and repetitive and flexible mechanisms
Tough 1500 Resin V2 is a material that combines rigidity and ductility, capable of resisting drilling, tapping, impact and deformation. An ideal solution for those seeking the perfect balance between strength and flexibility.
This resin significantly improves the performance of the previous version.
Specifically:
- Toughness to fracture 10 times higher, for parts that resist even under high mechanical stress;
- Elongation at break 3 times higher, ideal for thin walls that need to absorb impacts without breaking;
- Over 8000 flexural cycles guaranteed, making the resin perfect for repetitive and flexible mechanisms.
Designed for production, ready for Form 4
Optimized for the new generation of Formlabs printers, the Tough 1500 Resin V2 is compatible with Form 4 and Form 4L. It is the ideal choice for professionals who want to take full advantage of SLA 3D printing capabilities.
Main applications:
Because of its features, Tough 1500 V2 lends itself to a wide range of uses, from rapid prototyping to small series production of technical components:
– Functional prototypes requiring the strength and flexibility typical of polypropylene;
– Robust housings with functional elements such as self-tapping screws, snap-on couplings, and extrusions;
– Files and fasteners designed to withstand repeated impacts in the production environment;
– Compliant components such as closures, dampers, and flexible arms.
