Mitarepo [64] Tough 2000 Checking the tightening torque of the resin!

【Mitarepo】How much torque can it withstand with the work created in Form 3+!? I tried tightening it with a Helicoil!

"Mitarepo" is a series that introduces what can be done using various products with the concept of "I tried doing this!" We deliver useful information each time from the wide range of product genres handled by System Create. In Vol. 64, we used a type of material from the Form 3+, the Tough 2000 resin, to incorporate a helicoil and test its tightening. The Form 3+ is well-received because it allows users to choose materials from a diverse lineup according to their applications. This time, we are focusing on "Tough 2000 resin," which has properties similar to ABS and excels in strength and impact resistance. Common inquiries regarding this material include: "Can it be tapped?" "Can a helicoil be incorporated?" These are the two main questions. Therefore, this time we performed tapping on a workpiece made from Tough 2000 resin to verify how much tightening torque it can withstand. In the documentation, we created three types of female threads, tightened the screws, and explained the torque measurements with numerical data and images. *You can download the materials from the button below.
