Formlabs Tough 1000 Resins

$285.00 Incl. GST

Tough 1000 Resin is a ductile, impact-resistant material with comparable strength, stiffness, and toughness to high-density polyethylene (HDPE), designed with exceptional wear and fatigue resistance for long-term toughness and utility.

The 180% elongation at break (EAB) and Gardner impact strength of 128 in-lb surpass HDPE, making it ideal for parts that bend, compress, or deform without cracking. Hinges and functional parts can handle repeated stress and wear with a work of fracture of 3,200 J/m² and a Ross flex fatigue of >100,000 cycles (at 23 °C). With a matte, dark grey color, Tough 1000 Resin is engineered for applications that require smooth surfaces and low-friction finishes.

Why Choose Tough 1000 Resin?

Ductile, impact-resistant material with toughness that rivals high-density polyethylene (HDPE).

Durable and Ductile	Elongation at break of 180% and Gardner impact strength of 128 in-lb surpass HDPE, for durable enclosures and components that withstand significant impact.
Exceptional Fatigue Resistance and Toughness	Produce jigs, fixtures, and functional parts that experience repeated stress and wear with a work of fracture of 3,200 J/m² and a Ross flex fatigue of >100,000 cycles (30 degree deflection at 1 Hz).
Environmentally Stable Parts for End-Use Applications	Improved temperature, creep, and aging resistance compared to Durable Resin. Parts resist warping and sagging at corners and edges
Low-Friction and Wear-Resistant	Comparable lubricity to Delrin (POM), for surfaces that slide against each other without abrasion or scratches. Ideal for moving assemblies such as hinges, gears, and fixtures.
