Tough 1500 Resin

This resin is the most durable option. Choose this if you are planning to create stiff parts that can bend and spring back with ease. It’s great for simulating the strength of polypropylene, as well as for creating jigs and fixtures that require repeated deflection. Any prototypes you need to print that bend and spring back into shape are perfect for this material too.

High Temperature Resin

No other material withstands extremes as well as High Temp Resin. It is the ultimate choice for bespoke ducting for liquid or gas, for prototyping moulds, or for housing components that need to withstand heat when in use. Incorporate this hard-wearing material in a development cycle and the production of final use parts for results suited to long term use, which retain their original shape and support broad solvent compatibility.

Draft Resin

If you want to be able to go through several design iterations in a single day, Draft Resin is for you. Use it to print three to four times faster than other Formlabs materials. If you are using the entire build volume of the machine, a part can be produced with 300-micron layers in six hours, compared to 20 hours with Standard Resin. Once you are happy with your model, simply switch to a production resin to produce the final part.

Draft V2 Resin

Draft Resin prints up to four times faster than Formlabs standard materials, making it ideal for initial prototypes and rapid iterations to help bring products to market faster. Parts printed with Draft Resin exhibit a smooth grey finish and high accuracy. Use 200 micron settings for fast print speeds, or use 100 micron settings for models with finer details.
