- Manufacturers: Optimizing processes with rugged prototypes and parts that simulate the strength and stiffness of polyethylene.
It's Called Durable for a Reason
Choose Formlabs Durable Resin for unparalleled flexibility and strength in your 3D printed parts, ensuring they can withstand rigorous testing and real-world use without compromise.
- Unmatched Pliability: Offers the unique ability to create parts that are bendable yet maintain their shape and strength, perfect for demanding applications.
- High Impact Resistance: Engineered for durability, it's ideal for prototypes and parts subjected to stress, impacts, and repeated handling.
- Lubricious Surface Quality: Produces parts with a smooth, glossy finish that reduces friction, making it ideal for mechanical assemblies and moving components.
Easy to Use & Post-Process
Form Wash Settings: 20 min in IPA - If parts are tacky after washing in IPA with over 10% resin concentration, switch to fresh solvent and avoid soaking Durable Resin for more than 20 minutes to preserve part quality.
Form Cure Settings: 60 minutes @ 60 °C - Post-curing is crucial for engineering resins to achieve their best performance; for Durable Resin, there's a single, recommended post-curing time.
