At Tempus 3D, we’re continually expanding our material portfolio to help clients move from concept to production with confidence.

We’re pleased to announce that we are now offering Tough 2000 Resin V1 — a high-performance SLA material engineered for strong, stiff, and durable functional parts.

Why Tough 2000 Resin V1?

Tough 2000 Resin V1 is formulated to simulate the strength and stiffness of ABS plastic, making it ideal for applications that demand: full data sheet at the bottom.

• High rigidity

• Minimal deflection under load

• Long-term functional performance

• Structural integrity in demanding environments

Key Mechanical Properties

• Tensile Modulus: 2,100 MPa

• Ultimate Tensile Strength: 46 MPa

• Thermal Expansion: 91 μm/m/°C

These characteristics make it one of the most robust SLA materials available for engineering-grade applications.

Ideal Use Cases

1️⃣ Functional Prototypes

When you need prototypes that behave like final production parts — not just look like them — Tough 2000 provides the structural performance required for real-world testing.

2️⃣ Jigs & Fixtures

Its stiffness and dimensional stability make it perfect for manufacturing aids where minimal flex is critical.

3️⃣ Housings & Structural Components

For enclosures, brackets, and load-bearing parts that must maintain shape and strength over time.

4️⃣ Low-Volume End-Use Parts

Where traditional tooling may not be economical, Tough 2000 enables short-run production with engineering-grade performance.

Why This Matters for Our Clients

At Tempus 3D, we focus on industrial-grade additive manufacturing and adding Tough 2000 Resin V1 allows us to:

• Deliver stronger, more reliable parts

• Expand into higher-performance engineering applications

• Support clients in manufacturing, automotive, product design, and industrial tooling

• Reduce iteration time while increasing real-world testing confidence

For companies developing hardware, machinery components, or advanced product prototypes, this material bridges the gap between concept and production-ready performance.
