It is optimized for parts that need to bend, compress, and deform repeatedly without cracking. With its matte dark grey finish and low-friction surface, it is the ideal choice for functional assemblies that require the forgiveness of a flexible thermoplastic combined with the precision of the Form 4 LFD engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExceptional Ductility: \u003c\/strong\u003eBoasting a 180% elongation at break, this resin allows for extreme deformation, making it perfect for squeezable prototypes and snap-fits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Cycle Fatigue Resistance: \u003c\/strong\u003eEngineered for longevity, it features a Ross Flex Fatigue rating of over 100,000 cycles, ensuring that living hinges and compliant mechanisms maintain their integrity under repeated stress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpact-Ready: \u003c\/strong\u003eWith a Gardner impact strength of 128 in-lb, parts printed in Tough 1000 can survive drops and high-impact environments on the factory floor that would shatter standard resins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow-Friction Surface: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe material's high lubricity is comparable to Delrin (POM), making it excellent for sliding assemblies, ball joints, and gears where minimal surface resistance is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustrial Jigs \u0026amp; Fixtures: \u003c\/strong\u003eImpact-resistant tools that withstand daily abuse in manufacturing environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompliant Mechanisms: \u003c\/strong\u003eLiving hinges, latches, and springs that require high-cycle fatigue resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow-Friction Assemblies: \u003c\/strong\u003eGears, bushings, and ball joints requiring smooth, non-degrading surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHDPE Prototyping: \u003c\/strong\u003eValidating designs for parts eventually intended for high-density polyethylene injection molding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFAQ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow Does Tough 1000 Compare to Tough 1500 and 2000?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink of them on a spectrum of stiffness: Tough 2000 is the stiffest (ABS-like), Tough 1500 is the middle ground (Polypropylene-like), and Tough 1000 is the most flexible and impact-resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it Require Special Post-Processing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor optimal properties, parts should be washed in 99% IPA and post-cured.
