Formlabs is constantly innovating both on their 3D printers and their materials. It’s no secret that Formlabs is a leader in this particular material science space. Tough 1500 Resin has been evaluated for skin contact safety in accordance with ISO 10993-1, and has passed the requirements for the following endpoints:
If you own a Form 3B already, it gives you yet another material that’s biocompatible.
If you own a Form 3, this can make a big impact on how you prototype parts when skin contact is involved. Previously, if you wanted to print with biocompatible materials you’d have to opt for the Form 3B. If you seldom need the biocompatibility of the 3B this put you in a bit of a tough spot. Do you pay extra for the Form 3B or accept that you won’t have the biocompatibility printing capability with the Form 3? Tough 1500 changes this and allows everyone with a resin Formlabs machine (Form 2, 3, 3B, 3L, 3BL) to have the option to print with a certified biocompatible resin. Paired with Tough 1500 Resin’s stiff and pliable performance, these test results make Tough 1500 Resin ideal for extended skin contact applications such as wearables, personal protective equipment, and other consumer goods.
Tough 1500 Resin will continue to be supported on all Formlabs stereolithography (SLA) 3D printers - Form 2, Form 3, Form 3B, Form 3L, and Form 3BL. This makes Tough 1500 Resin the first certified skin-safe material available on the Form 3 and Form 3L.
The current crisis across thousands of supply chains is hitting cost structures hard and unfortunately, BCN3D has not been exempt from such circumstances. For this reason, the suggested retail prices of the Epsilon W50, W50 SC, W27, and W27 SC will all increase on the 1st of October.
Raise3D has recently announced 32 new filaments available for use with the Raise3D E2CF! The E2CF is a 3D printer based on the E2 3D printer platform and specifically optimized for fiber-reinforced filaments. The new filaments share a high strength-to-weight ratio and consistent high performance during long-term operations.
