Formlabs Tough 1000 Resin Cartridge for Form 4, 1L

Formlabs Tough 1000 Resin Cartridge for Form 4, 1L

Elevate your functional prototyping with Formlabs Tough 1000 Resin Cartridge (Form 4), 1L, an advanced engineering resin that provides the durability and ductility of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Formulated for exceptional wear and fatigue resistance, this material is the perfect choice for creating robust, long-lasting parts that can bend, flex, and absorb impacts without failure. As a major advancement over legacy materials like Durable Resin, Tough 1000 delivers superior performance for your most demanding applications.

A New Benchmark in Ductility and Durability

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

Superior Impact and Deformation Resistance

Featuring an exceptional 180% elongation at break and high Gardner impact strength, this resin allows you to create resilient enclosures and functional components that can absorb significant force. Parts printed with Tough 1000 can deform under stress and return to their original shape, effectively preventing brittle failures.

Unmatched Fatigue and Wear Resistance

Manufacture jigs, fixtures, and parts designed for constant use. With a high work of fracture and the ability to withstand over 100,000 flex cycles, this material is ideal for creating reliable hinges, compliant mechanisms, and other parts that experience repeated stress and wear.

Reliable Performance Over Time

Take advantage of enhanced temperature, creep, and aging resistance. Parts created with Tough 1000 Resin resist warping and sagging, ensuring that your end-use products remain dimensionally accurate and functionally reliable over the long term, even in challenging conditions.

Ideal for Moving and Sliding Parts

The resin's surface lubricity is comparable to Delrin (POM), making it an excellent choice for assemblies with moving parts. You can create smooth-operating, low-friction hinges, gears, and fixtures that slide against each other without scratching or abrasion.

Key Applications for Tough 1000 Resin

Tough 1000 Resin is the ideal material for dynamic engineering applications where both flexibility and durability are paramount. Its top uses include:

• Prototyping and creating end-use components that require the flexible strength of HDPE.
• Manufacturing tools, jigs, and fixtures that need to survive impacts and constant handling.
• Snap-fit designs, living hinges, and other compliant parts that must endure thousands of flex cycles.
• Low-friction assemblies, including gears and ball joints, where smooth, non-abrasive contact is essential.
