3D Resin Formlabs Tough 2000 V2

Introducing Tough 2000 Resin V2 by Formlabs (for Form 4) in a 1-litre format — a robust material engineered to deliver strength and rigidity comparable to Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic. This resin is the definitive choice for demanding applications, enabling you to create highly functional prototypes and end-use parts that resist breakage, deformation, and long-term wear. Thanks to significant improvements in toughness and thermal resistance, Tough 2000 ensures your parts maintain their structural integrity under both mechanical and environmental stress.

Why Choose Tough 2000 Resin V2?

This material is the stiffest and most robust in Formlabs' Tough and Durable resin family, delivering performance that rivals traditional thermoplastics. It features a new formulation that provides a darker matte finish — ideal for presentation parts requiring a higher level of detail and a smooth surface.

Stronger Where It Counts

Build robust assemblies and durable parts with complete confidence. Tough 2000 Resin boasts high elongation at break and significantly greater fracture toughness than its predecessor, making it ideal for resilient snap-fit components and parts that must withstand impacts.

Exceptional Creep Resistance

Manufacture tooling, structural components, and load-bearing parts that resist long-term deformation. The excellent creep resistance of this resin ensures your parts will hold their shape and perform reliably, even when subjected to sustained loads over extended periods of time.

Production-Ready Surface Quality

Its dark matte finish and improved scratch resistance provide superior contrast — perfect for both prototypes and end-use parts. This aesthetic quality allows you to achieve sharp details and smooth surfaces that look entirely professional straight off the printer.

High Environmental Stability

With a Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) of 70 °C, parts printed in Tough 2000 Resin offer reliable performance at elevated temperatures. This ensures your functional components hold their shape where other plastics might warp, making them suitable for real-world end-use applications.

Applications

Tough 2000 Resin is the ideal material for simulating the strength and rigidity of ABS. It is recommended for:

• Parts requiring the resistance and rigidity of ABS plastic.
• Tooling and jigs designed to withstand continuous use on the shop or factory floor.
• Robust enclosures with high thermal and creep resistance.
• Production-ready components with a dark, professional matte finish.
