Designed to withstand high stress and resist deformation, it is the ideal choice for functional assemblies, rugged housings, and mechanical connections. When printed on the Form 4, it leverages the Low Force Display (LFD) engine to deliver exceptional dimensional accuracy and a professional matte finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABS-Like Rigidity: \u003c\/strong\u003eWith a high tensile modulus of 2.4 GPa, Tough 2000 V2 mimics the mechanical behaviour of ABS, making it perfect for parts that must maintain their shape under load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced Fracture Toughness: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis V2 formulation features double the fracture toughness of the legacy version, ensuring that parts can absorb energy and resist cracking during assembly or functional testing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuperior Creep Resistance: \u003c\/strong\u003eEngineered to maintain its dimensions over time, this resin resists \"creeping\" or bowing under sustained stress, which is critical for load-bearing brackets and enclosures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePremium Matte Surface:\u003c\/strong\u003e The dark grey, low-gloss finish hides layer lines and provides a professional look right off the build platform.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunctional Prototypes: \u003c\/strong\u003eSimulating the fit and feel of injection-molded ABS parts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousings \u0026amp; Enclosures: \u003c\/strong\u003eProtective covers for electronics or mechanical assemblies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMechanical Connectors: \u003c\/strong\u003eSnap-fits, friction-fits, and structural brackets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturing Tooling: \u003c\/strong\u003eRigid jigs and fixtures that require high dimensional stability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Difference Between V1 and V2?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V2 formulation is specifically optimized for the Form 4's LFD light engine.

For parts requiring long-term UV stability, we recommend painting the parts with a UV-protective coating or exploring the Formlabs Grey Pro or Rigid libraries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Post-Curing Required?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. To reach the 50 MPa tensile strength and 2.4 GPa modulus, parts must be post-cured. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FORMLABS INC","offers":[{"title":"1L","offer_id":51835536376090,"sku":"RS-C2-TO20-02","price":209.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5L","offer_id":51835536408858,"sku":"RS-RPS-TO20-02","price":973.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0277\/5010\/5122\/files\/rs-c2-to20-02-formlabs-tough-2000-resin-v2-5l-02.webp?v=1763069335","url":"https:\/\/shop.cadmicro.com\/products\/formlabs-tough-2000-v2-resin","provider":"CAD MicroSolutions Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
