Formlabs Tough 1500 Resin V1 Form 3, 5L

Scaling up production requires reliable materials that can withstand mechanical stress while offering versatility in manufacturing. The Formlabs Tough 1500 Resin V1 Form 3, 5L container is designed for high-volume printing workflows, providing a resilient material that mimics the properties of polypropylene (PP). Ideal for engineering applications and functional prototyping, this resin balances stiffness with pliability, ensuring your parts perform under pressure. Please note that this large-format container requires a specific Resin Pump for operation, making it a dedicated solution for automated and continuous SLA printing systems.

Unleashing Potential with Formlabs Tough 1500 Resin V1

Resilient and flexible performance

This material is engineered for resilience, simulating the strength and stiffness of ubiquitous plastics like polypropylene to serve demanding engineering needs. When you print with Formlabs Tough 1500 Resin, you produce components that possess a unique ability to bend and immediately spring back to their original form. This "memory" effect makes it an exceptional choice for creating functional prototypes such as snap-fits, living hinges, and connectors that must endure repeated cyclic loading without failure.

Advanced Applications and Biocompatibility

Safe for skin contact

Beyond mechanical durability, this resin opens substantial opportunities in the medical and wearable technology sectors. Formlabs Tough 1500 Resin V1 Form 3, 5L is certified biocompatible and safe for skin contact, making it suitable for personal protective equipment, custom wearables, and consumer goods that interact directly with the user. To maintain this certification and ensure safety, it is crucial to follow the recommended post-processing conditions strictly without deviation. Whether you are fabricating manufacturing aids like jigs and fixtures or end-use products, this material ensures safety without compromising structural integrity.

Optimized for High-Volume Production

Efficiency at scale

The 5-liter packaging is specifically tailored for automation, significantly reducing downtime associated with frequent cartridge changes in busy print farms. While this V1 formulation is fully compatible with the Form 3 series ecosystem, it provides a cost-effective and reliable solution for mass customization and batch production. Users should note that while a V2 formulation exists for the newer Form 4 printers, this specific Formlabs Tough 1500 Resin remains the standard for established Form 3 workflows requiring resilient, PP-like parts.
