Formlabs Tough 1500 resin
The Tough 1500 Resin is a synthetic resin from the popular manufacturer Formlabs. The material belongs to the technical resins and offers improved mechanical properties. Tough 1500 is a particularly resistant synthetic resin. It is suitable for 3D-printed objects that can be bent repeatedly, but quickly return to their original shape. The properties should approximate the values of a polypropylene (PP) material.
The material is compatible with Formlabs Form 3 and Form 2. A Resin Tank LT is required in combination with this resin for Form 2. For post-processing, curing in a UV chamber, such as Formlabs Form Cure, is necessary.
