Elastic 50A Resin V1, 1L
Elastic 50A is Formlabs' softest Engineering Resin with a 50A Shore hardness. It is suitable for prototyping parts normally produced with silicone. You can select Formlabs Elastic 50A Resin for parts that will bend, stretch, compress, and hold up to repeated cycles without tearing, and spring back quickly to their original shape.
The “50A” in the name represents the material’s Shore durometer. If you need a more stiff flexible material, try Formlabs Flexible 80A Resin.
Available for Form 3 generation printers, and Form 2.
Supports print resolutions: 100 microns.
Post-curing is required.
