Tough 1000 Resin: Built to Withstand the Real World

When your 3D prints need to survive serious abuse, turn to Tough 1000 Resin. This advanced material is specifically formulated to mimic the mechanical properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), delivering exceptional impact, wear, and fatigue resistance for long-term utility.

Key Performance Highlights:

• Unrivaled Flexibility: With a massive 180% Elongation at Break, parts can handle significant stress, bending, and compression (surpassing standard HDPE).
• Extreme Impact Resistance: Capable of absorbing sharp shocks, featuring a high Gardner impact strength of 128 in-lb (≈14.5 Joules).
• Ultimate Wear Cycle Life: PHinges and functional parts can handle repeated stress and wear with a work of fracture of 3,200 J/m2 and a Ross flex fatigue exceeding100,000 cycles (at 23 °C)
• Sleek Finish: Prints in a professional, matte dark grey colour, and is perfect for applications that require low-friction and smooth surfaces.

Leveraging the LFS technology of the Form 4 Series, Tough 1000 provides 5x higher fracture toughness, 2x higher elongation at break, and improved temperature, creep, and aging resistance compared to Durable Resin.

Applications

Tough 1000 Resin is ideal for resilient prototyping or simulating the strength, stiffness and toughness of high-density polyethylene (HDPE).

Consider Tough 1000 Resin for:

• Prototypes requiring the strength, stiffness and toughness of high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
• Parts requiring high impact strength
• Hinges and functional parts which can handle repeated stress and wear
• Parts that require a low-friction surface, like ball joints
