Formlabs Announces New Line of Engineering Resins
Introducing the most comprehensive library of high-performance functional resins for engineering applications on the desktop 3D printing market
SOMERVILLE, Mass., Oct. 25, 2016 – Formlabs (formlabs.com), the designer and manufacturer of powerful and accessible 3D printing systems, today announced a new line of high-performance functional resins for engineering applications: High Temp, Durable, and Tough.
Engineering applications have always been one of the most active areas among Formlabs users. Whether it’s making surgical suturing devices, using algorithmic folding to produce the world’s longest 3D printed chain, or creating robotic grippers, Formlabs users have been at the forefront of using desktop 3D printing to solve complex challenges.
“With today’s expanded suite of materials, Formlabs is introducing the most comprehensive library of high-performance functional resins for engineering applications on the desktop 3D printing market, and making accessible industrial-grade 3D printing engineering materials at a fraction of a cost,” said Dávid Lakatos, chief product officer at Formlabs. “We want to equip and enable our users with an even bigger and more powerful toolbox of high-performance resins so that they can achieve reliable, precise prints and can pursue even more remarkable endeavors in engineering, design, and manufacturing.”
Formlabs’ High Temp Resin is the most capable material of its kind, with an HDT of 289 °C at 0.45 MPa—the highest on the 3D printing materials market. High Temp Resin enables users to create parts that are more temperature-resistant than traditional 3D printed parts. Ideal for prototyping (injection) molding tools and testing hot air or fluid flow, this material is great for static applications that will undergo higher temperatures, or for production processes such as casting and thermoforming.
For users looking to print parts that bend without breaking, Durable Resin is a wear-resistant, ductile material that simulates the stiffness and smooth, glossy finish of everyday plastics. With stiffness and high-impact strength comparable to polypropylene (PP) plastic, Durable Resin is ideal for applications from prototyping consumer products to packaging.
In addition, Formlabs released a significantly updated formulation of the Tough material, which has been one of Formlabs’ bestselling materials for engineering needs. With its ability to absorb high impact and other mechanical stressors that would normally cause 3D printed parts to snap or shatter, Tough Resin has been engineered for applications that require performance under stress or strain. The new formulation brings the mechanical properties of Tough even closer to those of injection-molded ABS.

Formlabs sta ampliando l'accesso alla fabbricazione digitale, in modo da rendere la stampa 3D alla portata di tutti. L’azienda leader nella stampa 3D ha introdotto la sua business unit dentale nel novembre 2019 per soddisfare le esigenze dei laboratori odontotecnici e degli studi di ogni dimensione. Formlabs Dental è composta da un team di professionisti del settore dentale dedicati a fornire le migliori soluzioni di stampa 3D del settore. Formlabs ha migliorato la vita di centinaia di migliaia di pazienti grazie alla stampa di 13 milioni di parti dentali sulla Form 2 e ha recentemente ampliato ulteriormente questo impatto con l’aggiunta di dispositivi hardware incentrati sul dentale, la Form 3B, la Form 3B+ e la Form 3BL. Oltre ai suoi prodotti hardware, Formlabs ha oltre 50 ingegneri dei materiali e una solida offerta di materiali dentali disponibili per essere utilizzati sulle stampanti Form 3B, Form 3B+ e Form 3BL.
