At CADimensions, we believe great ideas deserve the right tools. That’s why we’re excited to share the newest innovations from Formlabs: the Form Cure L V2 and the upgraded Tough Resin family, featuring Tough 1000 V1 and Tough 2000 V2.
These new Formlabs materials make it easier to create strong, reliable parts with less work after printing. The Form Cure L V2 speeds up curing and improves part strength and consistency. With new resins built for durability, your Formlabs 3D printer becomes an even more powerful tool for design, testing, and production.
CADimensions is proud to partner with Formlabs to bring you the tools that help you build better, faster. Because tomorrow is designed today.
Even with advanced 3D printers, many engineers and manufacturers face bottlenecks that slow down production and impact part quality. The latest Formlabs materials and Formlabs post-processing tools were created to tackle these issues head-on:
The Formlabs Form Cure L V2 is built for professionals who need production-ready parts fast. Compatible with all Form 3 and Form 4 series 3D printers, this updated curing unit delivers faster, more consistent results.
The Formlabs Form Cure L V2 is faster, stronger, and more efficient than the original model.
Speed: Cures parts 3–5× faster
Capacity: Chamber matches the Form 4L build volume
Consistency: More even UV exposure for stronger, more accurate parts
The new design packs a serious upgrade in optical power and efficiency.
Previous model: 45 LEDs at 30W
New V2 model: 96 LEDs at 150W, plus 50W radiant power
This means 4× more light energy, which cures parts faster and more completely

The Form Cure L V2 includes several replaceable components for long-term use:
Convection and cooling fans
Turntable and motor
Heaters with fuses
LED modules and couplers
These upgrades reduce downtime and keep your Formlabs resin printer running smoothly.
The Formlabs Tough Resin family has always pushed the limits of what’s possible with SLA printing. Now, two new resins are raising the bar even higher.
The new versions raise the bar, offering performance similar to common thermoplastics like ABS, PP, and HDPE—while still giving you the detail and smooth finish of SLA printing.
The new Formlabs Tough 1000 Resin is the most ductile and impact-resistant material in the Tough family. It’s designed for parts that need to bend, flex, or take repeated impact without cracking or losing shape.
Tough 2000 V2 is the strongest and stiffest resin in the Tough lineup. It offers ABS-like performance for demanding engineering tasks.
With Tough 1000 V1 and Tough 2000 V2, engineers have more options to create parts that act like production components.
Whether you’re designing prototypes, tooling, or final-use parts, these Formlabs materials make it easier to move from concept to completion faster and with confidence.
Form 4 & Form 4L: Both Tough 1000 V1 and Tough 2000 V2 are supported.
Form 3 Series: Use Durable V2 and Tough 2000 V1; they remain available for the lifetime of the platform.
Tough 1000 and Tough 2000 V2 have not been tested for long-term (> 30-day) skin-safe biocompatibility. For long-term skin contact, use Tough 1500 V2.
Formlabs continues to drive innovation in 3D printing. With the Form Cure L V2 and the new Tough Resin family, teams can produce stronger parts, reduce cure times, and speed up production. These updates help you design, test, and build with more confidence and less downtime.
