Product Description

Tough 1000 Resin V1 is a new resin formulation for Form 4 printers, perfect for 3D printing parts that bend, compress, or deform without cracking. It is comparable to high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and produces parts that are strong, stiff, and tough for fatigue resistance. This material's mechanical properties support hinges and functional parts that must endure repeated wear and stress. Compared with Formlabs Durable Resin, Tough 1000 has 5x higher fracture toughness, 2x higher EAB, and improved temperature, creep, and aging resistance. It is available in both 1-liter and 5-liter volumes and is compatible with several Formlabs SLA printers, including Form 4, Form 4B, Form 4L, and Form 4BL.

Possible Applications:

Engineering

• Fixtures and jigs requiring impact-resistance and long-term use
• Mechanisms that must endure repeated flexing
• Ball joints and other low-friction, non-degrading parts

Compatible 3D Printers:

• Form 4
• Form 4B
• Form 4L
• Form 4BL

Redesigned Form 4 Resin Cartridge:

• Faster dispensing
• Fill an empty tank in 2-8 minutes with most resins
• Valve system is 5-10x faster to fill than Form 3
• Cartridge body uses less plastic, resulting in a 63% reduction in plastic waste
• Redesigned cartridge takes up 30% less shelf space
