Formlabs Tough 2000 Resin V2 (Form 4)

An ABS-like Tough Resin for functional prototypes and end-use parts — combining high strength and stiffness with excellent toughness, temperature resistance, and a presentation-ready dark matte finish.

Formlabs Tough 2000 Resin V2 cartridge
Application: Jigs / Fixtures / Enclosures
Technology: SLA (Form 4 Series)
ABS-like: Strength + stiffness
Finish: Dark matte

Workflow note: For intended mechanical performance, wash and post-cure using the recommended Form Wash + Form Cure settings.

ABS-like parts that resist shattering, deformation, and long-term wear

Tough 2000 Resin V2 is a rugged engineering material for parts that need the strength and stiffness of ABS, while maintaining real-world durability for handling, assembly, and ongoing use.

The V2 formulation is tuned for the Form 4 Series to deliver improved aesthetics and performance — including higher fracture toughness, better temperature performance, and a richer, matte finish for presentation-ready parts.

Why Choose Formlabs Tough 2000 Resin V2?

ABS-like Performance

Print parts with the strength and stiffness you’d expect from ABS — ideal for functional prototypes and robust assemblies.

Heavy-Duty Durability

Built to resist shattering, deformation, and long-term wear — with strong toughness and good elongation after post-cure.

Heat & Creep Resistance

Better stability under mechanical and environmental stress — great for enclosures and fixtures that see warmer conditions.

Dark Matte, Presentation-Ready

A darker formulation with a matte finish helps hide minor scuffs and shows fine features cleanly for prototypes and end-use parts.

Applications

Use Tough 2000 Resin V2 when you need ABS-like mechanical performance and a reliable workflow on the Form 4 Series.

Consider Tough 2000 Resin V2 for:

  • Parts requiring the strength and stiffness of ABS
  • Jigs and fixtures designed to survive long-term use on the factory floor
  • Robust enclosures with better temperature and creep resistance
  • Production-ready parts with a dark, matte finish

Workflow Overview

Tough 2000 Resin V2 follows a print + wash + post-cure workflow. For best mechanical performance, use the recommended wash and post-cure settings for your finishing equipment.

  • Print using the Tough 2000 Resin V2 preset for Form 4 / Form 4L in PreForm.
  • Wash in IPA using the recommended Form Wash settings (see the PDF in Downloads).
  • Post-cure using the recommended Form Cure V2 settings (see the PDF in Downloads).
  • Finish as required (support removal, light sanding) for a clean matte presentation finish.

FAQ

1) What is Tough 2000 Resin V2 best used for?

ABS-like parts such as jigs, fixtures, enclosures, and functional prototypes that need strength, stiffness, and durability.

2) What’s new about the V2 formulation?

Improved performance and aesthetics tuned for the Form 4 Series, including higher fracture toughness and a darker, matte surface finish.

3) Do I need post-curing?

Yes — post-curing is recommended to achieve the intended mechanical and thermal properties. Use the Form Cure V2 settings PDF for the latest guidance.
