Formlabs® Flexible 80A

In Formlabs’ library of SLA materials, Flexible 80A resin is one of the most stiff soft-touch material with an 80A Shore durometer to simulate the flexibility of rubber or TPU. Parts 3D printed in Flexible 80A can withstand bending, flexing, and compression, even through repeated cycles. It is recommended for cushioning, damping, and shock absorption applications.

Formlabs® Flame Retardant

Flame Retardant (FR) resin is an ideal specialty material for manufacturing durable plastic components engineered for stiffness, creep resistance, and optimal performance in both indoor and industrial settings. This Formlabs resin boasts self-extinguishing properties and is halogen-free, earning high marks for flame, smoke, and toxicity (FST) safety ratings.

Formlabs® Durable

Formlabs Durable resin is an engineering 3D printing material that is ideal for squeezable parts and low-friction assemblies. It has similar characteristics such as strength and stiffness with the high-density or low-density (HD/LD) polyethylene (PE). Parts or prototypes 3D-printed in Durable resin can handle repeated compression, stretching, flexing and will slightly strain without breaking.

3D-printed parts produced with Formlabs’ Rigid family of SLA resins are ideal for prototyping strong and stiff parts that resist bending and are thermally and chemically resistant or perform well under load but will brittle if pushed to extreme limits.

Draft resin is well-known for its capability of 3D printing parts and prototypes quickly and runnning through multiple design iterations (so-called “drafts”) in a day. For faster 3D printing times, you can use 200-micron settings, or 100-micron for finer details models.
