Questions
Is Tough 1500 really like polypropylene?
Formlabs formulated it to match polypropylene's stiffness and toughness, with 155% elongation at break. It bends and returns where standard resins would crack.
SLA or SLS for my part?
Pick Tough 1500 when you need fine detail, smooth surfaces or flexible clips. Pick SLS nylon for bigger, stronger parts, internal channels, or anything that sees heat.
How fast can I get it?
Standard ships in 2 business days. Rush ships the next business day for 40% more when you order before 2 PM Eastern.
