Tough

High-Impact Resin
High-impact · Living hinges

Built for drops and daily use. Tough resin makes the parts that bend before they break.

Strengths
& uses

Where snap-fits, living hinges, and repeated stress cycles would destroy standard resin.

Strengths
  • Izod impact 143 J/m — the highest in our SLA lineup
  • Elongation 60–72 % — roughly double ABS-like, so it gives instead of cracking
  • Keeps cycling — hinges and snap-fits that close again and again
  • Pick it over ABS-like when fatigue life outranks accuracy
Common applications
  • Snap-fit enclosures
  • Living hinges
  • Drop-test prototypes
  • Functional housings
