Formlabs Tough 1500 Resin 5L
Tough 1500 Resin produces stiff and pliable parts that bend
and spring back quickly under repeated use. This material
is ideal for functional prototypes, jigs and fixtures,
and connectors undergoing temporary deflection or high impacts.

Product Description
Tough 1500 Resin is a resilient, skin-safe material that offers similar strength and stiffness to polypropylene (PP).
Choose Tough 1500 Resin for stiff and pliable parts that bend and spring back quickly, prototypes that repeatedly bend and quickly return to shape, and jigs and fixtures requiring repeated deflection.
Tough 1500 Resin is certified safe for skin contact, also making it an ideal material for wearables, personal protective equipment, and other consumer goods. For parts to be certified safe for skin contact, the recommended Tough 1500 Resin post-processing conditions must be followed without deviation.
Why Choose Tough 1500 Resin?
Tough 1500 Resin combines stiffness and elongation to offer a middle ground between Durable Resin and Tough 2000 Resin.
Pliable
Absorbs shocks of energy and supports repeated deflection.Superior Aesthetics
Rival the appearance of injection-molded parts with rich, matte color and crisp fine feature performance.Darker and richer shadeFast Springback
Strain parts that will spring back to their original shape when that stress is relieved.Stiff
Compliant but also maintains overall rigidity.- Biocompatible
Certified for long-term skin contact.
Applications
Tough 1500 Resin is ideal for resilient prototyping or simulating the strength and stiffness of polypropylene (PP).
Consider Tough 1500 Resin for:
Prototypes that repeatedly bend and quickly return to shape
Jigs and fixtures requiring repeated deflection
Wearables, personal protective equipment, and other consumer goods
