Formlabs has announced the latest addition to its 3D printing materials portfolio, Tough 1500 Resin, a new resin designed for stiff and pliable parts that can bend and quickly return to their original shape under cyclic loading.

 .

A member of Formlabs’ family of Tough and Durable stereolithography resins, Tough 1500 is distinguished by its stiffness, elongation and polypropylene-like properties which make it ideal for producing functional prototypes, jigs and fixtures and connectors undergoing temporary deflection; basically to simulate the strength and stiffness of products that will be manufactured out of polypropylene.

 .

Formlabs says the majority of Tough 1500 Resin’s technical properties fall between that of its Tough Resin and Durable Resin cousins. With high resilience and fast springback, it claims to balance elongation and modulus, the latter of which is represented in its “1500” label which details its tensile modulus (in MPa), a naming convention Formlabs says it […]
