Flexible 80A Resin

REPLICATE HARD RUBBER

Discover the versatility of Formlabs Flexible 80A Resin, designed for crafting soft yet sturdy prototypes that endure bending and stretching. Its 80A Shore hardness ensures parts are flexible without sacrificing durability. Ideal for rapid in-house production of rubber-like parts, it's a transparent, cost-effective solution for seals, grips, and cushioning applications, streamlining development and enhancing design flexibility.

Key Features of the Formlabs Flexible 80A Resin:

  • Mimics hard-rubber or TPU flexibility
  • Bendable parts return to shape slowly
  • Withstands repeated bending, flexing, and compression
  • Rapidly produce in-house for less outsourcing
  • Translucent for clear visibility into internal structures
  • Applications include grips, gaskets, cushioning absorption, tendon anatomy, and more

Notes Notes
Wash parts printed in Flexible 80A Resin
in two cycles, preferably using fresh solvent
for the second wash. When washed in TPM,
Flexible 80A Resin remains waxy when
printed at any layer thickness and requires
post-cure. Post-curing removes the waxiness.
For parts printed in an engineering-
focused resin (such as those in the Rigid,
Tough & Durable, and Flexible & Elastic
families), post-curing ensures that the parts
reach their optimal mechanical properties
and can function as designed. There is only
one recommended post-curing time for
Flexible 80A Resin.
