Formlabs Durable V2 Resin (Form 3+) 1L

Formlabs Durable Resin (Form 3) 1 L

Durable Resin is a pliable, impact-resistant, and lubricious material designed for squeezable parts and low-friction assemblies. Parts printed in this material are robust and have similar strength and stiffness to polyethylene (PE), with a coefficient of friction comparable to Delrin® (POM). It is the ideal choice for functional prototypes that require a smooth surface finish and high resistance to wear.

This 1-litre cartridge is optimised for the Form 3 ecosystem, providing a reliable solution for engineering and product design. Durable Resin is one of the most versatile materials in the Formlabs library for parts that need to deform and return to their original shape without cracking.

Why choose Durable Resin?

Durable Resin offers a unique combination of flexibility and low friction, making it suitable for parts that must interact or move without sticking.

• Polyethylene simulation: mimics the mechanical properties of PE, providing a balance of pliability and strength.
• Low friction: features a lubricious surface finish comparable to Delrin®, ideal for moving parts, bushings, and sliders.
• High impact resistance: absorbs shock and resists shattering, making it suitable for jigs and fixtures undergoing significant impacts.
• Durable and pliable: produces parts that can be squeezed or bent repeatedly while maintaining their original structural integrity.

Applications for Durable Resin:

Durable Resin is ideal for functional testing of consumer products and industrial components where durability and ductility are required.

• Squeezable prototypes: bottles, containers, and packaging models requiring a soft-touch, pliable feel.
• Low-friction assemblies: bushings, bearings, sliders, and hinges that require smooth, repeatable movement.
• Jigs and fixtures: manufacturing aids that must withstand impact or repeated handling on the factory floor.
• Functional models: consumer goods requiring the toughness and surface quality of polypropylene or polyethylene.

Post-processing

Washing

The foundational step in any SLA post-processing workflow is to remove any excess resin on the surface of the parts through an alcohol or ether wash.

Curing

Post-curing engineering and specialty resins is essential for parts to achieve their full strength and functionality. This step completes the chemical reaction initiated during printing, transforming the part from its green state into a fully finished component.

Note: Compatible with Formlabs Form 3, Form 3+, Form 3B, Form 3B+, and Form 3L printers.
