What Is Tough Resin For?
Tough resin is engineered for applications where strength, durability and impact resistance matter most. Whether you're iterating mechanical components or producing custom jigs and fixtures, tough resin is formulated to withstand stress, strain and repeated handling without cracking or deforming.
The range includes trusted options like Formlabs Tough 1500 Resin, built for stiffness and pliability, as well as Tough 2000 Resin, which delivers maximum strength and rigidity. These materials are ideal for assemblies that need to hold their shape under load or withstand repeated use in real-world conditions.
Why Choose Tough Resin?
Tough resin bridges the gap between traditional SLA materials and engineering-grade thermoplastics. With the surface detail and precision that SLA is known for, combined with the functional toughness of industrial plastics.
Each resin in our collection is optimised for performance on Formlabs SLA 3D printers, delivering consistent mechanical properties and excellent print reliability.
Key benefits include:
• Impact Resistance: Handles drops, knocks and pressure without shattering
• Engineering-Grade Performance: Perfect for functional testing and industrial applications
• Fine Detail and Surface Quality: Clean, accurate prints with minimal post-processing
• Material Options for Every Need: Choose your ideal balance of stiffness, strength and flexibility
• Reliable & Repeatable: Formulated for success on every print run
Print With Confidence
Whether you're prototyping gears, building tools, or stress-testing enclosures, tough resin gives you the peace of mind that your parts will hold up in demanding environments. Combined with Formlabs hardware and post-processing systems, it forms a complete ecosystem for high-performance printing.
