How many engineers does it take to build a Rube Goldberg machine? As a hardware company — we make high-resolution desktop 3D printers — we had quite the team, to say the least. To celebrate the launch of our latest resin, Tough, we gathered a toolkit of engineers to help build a 3D printed Rube Goldberg machine.
See Tough Resin in action with our 3D printed Rube Goldberg machine:
Inspired by the Japanese children’s series Pitagora Suichi, we wanted the machine to be fun, surprising, and also showcase the properties of Tough Resin: durability, strength, and impact-resistance.
Here’s a quick peek at what our workspace looked like over the last few weeks:
Hot glue, hacks, and 3D printing

Formlabs White Paper: Post-Curing Prints
We set out to study the post-cure process in detail in order to optimize final mechanical properties of printed parts. Download the white paper to learn more.
