Tough resin is a type of photopolymer resin used in stereolithography (SLA) or digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing processes. It is specifically engineered to produce robust and durable parts with high impact resistance. Tough resin is suitable for functional prototypes, snap-fit assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and other applications that require strength and toughness.
Material details
Tough resin is formulated with a combination of high-performance polymers and additives to enhance its mechanical properties. It exhibits a balance between stiffness and impact resistance, making it ideal for applications where parts need to withstand repeated stress or impact. Tough resin typically has a matte or opaque finish and is available in various colors.
echnical properties
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Tensile strength | 55-70 MPa |
| Tensile modulus | 1,200-2,000 MPa |
| Tensile elongation | 20-50% |
| Flexural strength | 80-100 MPa |
| Flexural modulus | 1,300-2,500 MPa |
| HDT | 50-70°C |
These technical properties provide an indication of the material's strength, flexibility, and resistance to deformation. It is worth noting that the exact values may vary depending on the specific brand or formulation of tough resin.
