Formlabs tough 1500 resin at IGO3DThe tough 1500 resin is a synthetic resin from the popular manufacturer Formlabs.
The material is one of the technical resines and offers improved mechanical properties.
Tough 1500 is a highly resistant resin.
It is suitable for 3D-printed objects that can be repeatedly bent, but quickly return to their original shape.
The properties should be approximately equal to the values of a polypropylene (PP) material.
The material is compatible with the mold lab form 3 and form 2.
In the form 2, a resin tank LT is required in combination with this resin.
Curing in a UV chamber, such as the form Cure, is necessary for post-processing.
Applications for tough 1500 resin form labsThe tough 1500 resin molding labs are particularly suitable for snap-on closures and printed moving parts such as hinges.
Also spring-loaded components, which are frequently in motion and are bent, can be realized with Formlabs tough 1500 synthetic resin.
Difference between Formlabs tough 1500 and tough 2000Formlabs tough 1500 resembles a polypropylene plastic, whereas tough 2000 is more like an ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-stirene copolymer).
Tough 1500 is easier to bend and can be bent repeatedly.
Tough 2000 is much stiffer and firmer.
It can also be bent minimally.
