Formlabs Tough 1000 Resin Cartridge (Form 4), 1L

Meet the new standard for toughness and durability with Formlabs Tough 1000 Resin Cartridge (Form 4), 1L. This advanced engineering material is a ductile, impact-resistant resin that delivers strength, stiffness, and utility comparable to high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Engineered with exceptional resistance to wear and fatigue, Tough 1000 Resin is the ideal choice for creating long-lasting functional parts that can bend, compress, and deform without cracking, making it a significant upgrade over the legacy Durable Resin.

Experience Next-Level Toughness

Tough 1000 Resin is a ductile, impact-resistant material with toughness that rivals high-density polyethylene (HDPE), making it perfect for dynamic applications.

Built for High Impact

With an impressive elongation at break of 180% and a high Gardner impact strength, Tough 1000 Resin allows you to create durable enclosures and components that can withstand significant impacts. Parts can deform under stress and return to shape, preventing brittle fractures.

Engineered for Repeated Stress

Produce jigs, fixtures, and functional parts that experience repeated stress and wear. Thanks to its high work of fracture and a Ross flex fatigue of over 100,000 cycles, this material is perfect for creating robust hinges and compliant mechanisms that must endure constant use.

Long-Term Dimensional Stability

Benefit from improved temperature, creep, and aging resistance. Compared to older materials, parts printed in Tough 1000 Resin resist warping and sagging over time, ensuring that your end-use applications remain dimensionally stable and reliable long-term.

Smooth, Low-Friction Surfaces

The material's surface lubricity is comparable to Delrin (POM), making it ideal for moving assemblies where surfaces slide against each other. Create low-friction hinges, gears, and fixtures that operate smoothly without abrasion or scratching.

Versatile Engineering Applications

Tough 1000 Resin is the go-to material for dynamic applications where both durability and flexibility are crucial. It excels in the following areas:

• Functional prototypes and end-use parts that simulate the performance of HDPE.
• Durable manufacturing aids, jigs, and fixtures that can withstand drops and repeated handling.
• Living hinges, snap-fit enclosures, and other compliant mechanisms requiring high fatigue resistance.
• Moving and sliding components, such as ball joints, gears, and wear-resistant assemblies.
