Formlabs SLA – Tough 1500 Resin V2

Price range: $149.00 through $695.00

Tough 1500 Resin is a resilient, high-performance material engineered for functional parts requiring a balanced combination of stiffness, strength, and ductility. Parts printed with Tough 1500 Resin are designed to bend and spring back quickly under repeated loading, making this material ideal for functional prototypes, connectors, compliant mechanisms, and other applications where tough, durable performance is essential.

Manufactured to deliver polypropylene-like mechanical properties with excellent fracture resistance and impact performance, Tough 1500 Resin supports a broad range of engineering and industrial uses — from rugged enclosures with snap-fit features to impact-resistant jigs, fixtures, and assemblies that maintain shape and performance through repeated use.

Why Choose Formlabs Tough 1500 Resin V2?
Produce resilient, stiff yet pliable parts with Tough 1500 Resin, engineered to simulate polypropylene (PP) for functional prototypes, compliant mechanisms, and rugged components that require a balance of strength and flexibility.

Engineered for Tough, Durable Parts
Designed to deliver strength, stiffness, and exceptional fracture resistance comparable to polypropylene, Tough 1500 Resin supports parts that endure repeated handling, impacts, and stress without cracking or failing.

Balanced Stiffness and Flexibility
Create parts that combine rigidity with pliability — parts that bend, spring back, and maintain their shape under load — making it ideal for snap fits, compliant mechanisms, and dynamic prototypes.

Smooth Surface and Reliable Detail
Print dimensionally accurate components with good surface quality and fine feature resolution, suitable for both functional prototypes and end-use tooling.

Versatile and Resilient
With high elongation at break and improved fracture toughness over previous versions, Tough 1500 Resin V2 offers long-lasting performance in applications that require durability and elastic recovery.

Applications
Ideal for parts needing polypropylene-like toughness and compliance without sacrificing precision.

Consider Tough 1500 Resin for:

  • Snap-fit components and hinges
  • Compliant mechanisms and latches
  • Rugged enclosures and protective shells
  • Impact-resistant jigs and fixtures
  • Functional prototypes with balanced stiffness and flexibility

Material properties may vary with part geometry, orientation, print settings, and post-processing. Users are responsible for validating performance for their specific application.
