Product description: Resin for 3D Printer FormFutura Engineering Series Tough 0,5 kg - Transparent
FormFutura Engineering Series Tough photopolymerresinis designed mainly for obtainingstructural elements. It is compatible with open source3D printersworking in SLA, DLP and LCD technologies. It is cured using light of wavelengthfrom 385 nm to 405 nm. The resin is transparent, characterized by high impact strength and semi-elasticity. The product is used for prototyping durable parts that can be exposed to short periods of intense load. The package contains0.5 kg of printable material.
FormFutura Engineering Series ToughResin.
A part made with FormFutura Engineering Series Tough resin.
Key features of Engineering Series Tough resin
- Finished models exhibit high impact resistance, and good UV and weather resistance.
- Prints made with Engineering Series Tough resin have limited susceptibility to rapid wear
- The print material is transparent, virtually free of discoloration and yellowing
- Resin emits a slightly unpleasant but non-intrusive odor during molding
- The product has high dimensional accuracy and low shrinkage
- Engineering Series Tough resin is compatible with open source 3D printers that use light in the wavelength range of 385 nm to 405 nm to cure the print material.
- Main applications for FormFutura Tough resin: functional prototyping, short-run production, protective cases
Steps to follow before printing
- Shake the bottle for at least 2 minutes before each use.
- Allow the resin to sit for approx. 10 minutes so that air bubbles escape from the resin
- After printing, unused resin can be transferred from the printer tank to the bottle

Always wear protective equipment when handling the resin:gogglesand nitrile gloves. |
Final processing of the finished 3D printout
- Ready model should be rinsed in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or bioethanol for about 5 minutes.
- The manufacturer recommends the use of ultrasonic cleaner.
- Before further curing check if the model is completely dry after rinsing
- Place the rinsed parts in a well-ventilated room for at least 30 min. (Compressed air can also be used for at least 2 minutes).
- Cure the objects in a special chamber for 20 to 30 minutes at 65°C
- Recommended curing wavelength is from 300 nm to 410 nm
- Respiratory protection must be worn when grinding resin
The packaging of Engineering Series Tough resins provides protection against drying out.
