Product Description
Flexible 80A Resin V2 is a tear-resistant elastomer that supports repeated bending, compression, and tension. An upgrade from V1, Flexible 80A V2 has 2x higher tear strength, 2x higher elongation at break, 4x higher rebound, and an improved matte black appearance.
This material rivals the properties of urethanes, TPUs, and hard rubbers with an 80A Shore hardness. It is flexible, resilient, and recovers its shape after repeated deformation, making it an excellent choice for 3D printing parts that experience regular movement, consistent impact, or repeated user interaction.
Flexible 80A V2 is available in both 1-liter and 5-liter volumes and is compatible with several Formlabs SLA printers, including Form 4, Form 4B, Form 4L, and Form 4BL.
