Formlabs Tough 1500 Resin V2 1 L

Formlabs Tough 1500 Resin V2 1 L — resin for printing functional prototypes and end-use tooling. The material's strength and stiffness are comparable to polypropylene (PP). Parts resist breakage and impact, so they can be put under load. The operator gets a functional part for real-world loading, not a mock-up for visual shape review.

Key specifications and benefits

• Mechanical properties: comparable to polypropylene (PP) — The PP benchmark makes it easier to judge how a part will behave under load.
• Property balance: stiffness and ductility — Stiffness holds the part's shape, while ductility lets it deform under load.
• Resistance: breakage and impact — The material resists splitting, so housings and tooling stay intact on impact.
• Compatibility: Form Studio 1 — Form 4 generation printers are not supported. Tough 1500 (Form 4) is the material intended for them.
• Self-tapping screws and snap-fits: The balance of stiffness and ductility allows housings to be printed for self-tapping screws and snap-fit joints, so fixings are built directly into the part design.
• Compliant mechanisms: Stiffness combined with ductility makes it possible to print components that transmit motion through their own deformation, so separate hinges are not needed.
• One material for two jobs: The resin suits both functional prototypes and end-use jigs and fixtures. Moving from design validation to real use therefore does not require a change of material.

Applications

• Functional prototypes: Mechanics comparable to PP allow a part to be tested under load, not merely checked for geometry. The prototype can be assembled with other components and evaluated in operation.
• Housings with self-tapping screws: Stiffness holds the wall shape, while ductility accommodates deformation as the screw is driven in. This balance of properties is what strong housings assembled with self-tapping screws require.
• Snap-fit joints: A snap-fit deforms during assembly, so it needs ductility. The resin's stiffness, in turn, helps hold the joint in its assembled state.
• Compliant mechanisms: Motion is transmitted by the deformation of the part itself rather than by separate hinges. Resistance to breakage and impact is therefore important for how such a component performs.
• End-use tooling: Jigs and fixtures for end use need resistance to impact and splitting. The resin keeps the part intact on impact, so the tooling remains fit for use.

Compatible printers and materials

Formlabs Tough 1500 Resin V2 1 L is supported on Form Studio 1. It is not compatible with Form 4 generation printers. For Form 4 generation printers, use Tough 1500 (Form 4). Before ordering, check the generation of the printer to avoid buying a material it does not support.
