What is Tough Resin and Why Choose It?

Tough 3D resin printing is used for functional parts that need higher strength and durability compared to standard resins. It offers improved impact resistance, making it suitable for engineering prototypes, fixtures, and mechanical assemblies that undergo moderate stress.

Tough resin balances structural integrity and detail, providing parts that can handle light mechanical loads while maintaining a high-quality surface finish. This material is a good choice for applications like snap-fit components, functional prototypes, enclosures, and tooling aids where both precision and durability are important.

We also offer a variety of specialty resins, including flexible and ABS-like resins, to match different mechanical or thermal requirements.

Key Features, Design Guidelines, and Performance Characteristics for Tough 3D Printing Resin

Key Features of Tough 3D Print Resin

Build size - 200 x 120 x 200 mm as a single piece or assembled from multiple components
Lead time - from just 1 business day
Dimensional accuracy - ±0.5% with a lower limit of ±0.15 mm
Layer height - typically between 50–100 µm

Tough Resin Printing Design Guidelines

Unsupported walls - min 1.0 mm
Supported walls - min 0.5 mm
Minimum feature size - 0.4 mm
Minimum hole diameter - 0.8 mm

Performance Characteristics of Tough Resin Parts

Impact resistance – better suited for functional parts than standard resin
Durability – holds up under moderate stress and mechanical use
Surface finish – smooth and detailed, suitable for both functional and visual models
Post-processing – easy to sand, drill, or paint
UV sensitivity – still should be kept away from prolonged sunlight exposure to maintain mechanical strength

Examples of Tough Resin 3D Printed Parts

Explore real-world applications of 3D printing with tough resin, designed for durable prototypes and functional parts. Tough resin balances strength and impact resistance, making it well-suited for mechanical assemblies, snap-fit enclosures, and load-bearing components that need more resilience than standard resin prints.

Where Tough Resin Works Best

Tough resin is suited for applications where standard resin’s fine detail isn’t enough and additional durability or impact resistance is required. It bridges the gap between rigid materials and engineering-grade plastics, making it suitable for both functional prototypes and end-use components. Common use cases include:

Functional prototypes that need higher strength and resistance to stress
Snap-fit parts and enclosures requiring slight flexibility
Jigs, fixtures, and tooling for light-duty industrial use
Mechanical assemblies with moving or load-bearing components
End-use parts that must endure moderate handling or wear

If your parts need a balance of detail and mechanical performance without stepping up to fully engineering resins, tough resin provides a practical and cost-efficient solution.

Pros and Cons of Tough Resin

Tough resin is commonly chosen for 3D printing parts that require improved durability and moderate impact resistance while maintaining good detail quality. Below are its main advantages and limitations to help you decide if it suits your project’s needs.

Advantages

Improved Strength – Offers greater impact resistance than standard resin, reducing the risk of cracking or brittle failure.
Functional Prototyping – Suitable for parts that need moderate load-bearing or repeated handling.
Versatile Use – Balances detail quality with mechanical performance, making it a step up from visual-only resins.
Snap-Fit Capable – Can handle designs with slight flexibility such as clips or enclosures.

Limitations

Lower Detail Precision – Slightly less crisp than standard or rigid resins due to its tougher formulation.
Limited Heavy-Duty Use – Not as strong or heat-resistant as engineering-grade resins.
Post-Processing Needs – Still requires sanding and curing for optimal strength.
