Durable Resin
is impact resistant and highly wear resistant, capable of extreme deformation before breaking, and has low friction compared to standard resins and Tough 2000 Resin.
Use Durable to prototype parts that will eventually be made from polypropylene (PP) or high density polyethylene (HDPE). It is best used when these features are required in a room-temperature application.
Why Choose Durable Resin?
- Durable Resin is a soft and pliable material that bends without breaking while maintaining good rigidity.
- Pliable
Produce parts that are highly resistant to deformation before breaking. - Impact-Resistant
Leverage high-impact strength for rugged prototyping. - Lubricious
Create parts that are smooth and glossy like an everyday plastic. - Strong and stiff
Simulate the strength and stiffness of polyethylene (PE).
Product Description of Formlabs Durable Resin 1L (Form4)
Whether you’re optimizing your manufacturing process, rapidly iterating through designs, or assessing form, fit, and function, Formlabs Engineering Resins are formulated to withstand extensive testing and perform under stress.
Durable Resin is the most pliable, impact resistant, and lubricious material in our functional family of Tough and Durable Resins. Choose Durable Resin for squeezable parts and low-friction assemblies.
- Squeezable prototypes and low friction assemblies
- Jigs and fixtures undergoing significant impacts
- Low friction assemblies and non-degrading surfaces
- Simulating the strength and stiffness of polyethylene (PE)
- Supports print resolutions: 100 and 50 microns.
- Post-curing required.
Applications
Durable Resin is ideal for prototyping consumer products, packaging, and low-friction and low-wear moving parts.
Consider Durable Resin for:
- Squeezable prototypes
- Low friction assemblies and non-degrading surfaces (like ball joints)
- Jigs and fixtures undergoing significant impacts
- Snap-fit parts and flexures
