Formlabs Flexible 80A Resin Form 4, 5L

Formlabs Flexible 80A Resin Form 4, 5L

Unlock the full potential of rapid prototyping and small-batch manufacturing with the Formlabs Flexible 80A Resin Form 4, 5L container. Designed specifically for high-volume production on the Form 4 generation printers, this material allows engineers and designers to create parts that simulate the properties of stiff rubber or TPU. By utilizing this large-capacity 5-liter container, which requires a Resin Pump for operation, you can streamline your workflow and minimize downtime during extensive print jobs, ensuring your projects move from concept to reality faster than ever.

Why Choose Flexible 80A Resin?

Production Without Delays

This reformulated elastomer is engineered to deliver a stiff yet soft-touch finish, boasting an 80A Shore durometer. The Formlabs Flexible 80A Resin Form 4, 5L is the ultimate solution for bringing the production of silicone, urethane, and rubber-like components in-house. By eliminating the need for expensive molds and outsourcing, you can produce functional prototypes and end-use parts in a matter of hours rather than weeks.

Superior Mechanical Resilience

Parts fabricated with this resin are characterized by their exceptional durability. They are capable of withstanding significant bending, flexing, and compression, reliably returning to their original shape after repeated cycles without cracking. This makes the material distinctively suited for functional testing where mechanical stress is a constant factor.

Aesthetics and Durability

Beyond mechanical performance, the material offers a translucent appearance, allowing for clear visibility into internal structures if necessary. It provides the authentic look and feel of a finished product, enabling rigorous user testing with prototypes that closely mimic final injection-molded rubber parts.

Applications

Versatile Engineering Solutions

The Formlabs Flexible 80A Resin Form 4, 5L is the go-to choice for creating hard, flexible prototypes that require high impact resistance. It serves as an excellent alternative to traditional mold making for a variety of industries. Common use cases include:

• Ergonomic handles, soft-touch grips, and overmolds.
• Functional seals, complex gaskets, and protective masks.
• Components requiring cushioning, damping, and shock absorption.
• Anatomical models simulating cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.

Post-Processing

Washing and Cleaning

To ensure a pristine finish, the first critical step in the SLA workflow involves removing uncured resin from the surface. Parts should be thoroughly washed using isopropyl alcohol or ether to reveal the clean geometry beneath.

Post-Curing for Strength

For the material to attain its specific mechanical properties and full strength, post-curing is mandatory. This process finalizes the polymerization, transforming the print from a "green" state into a fully functional, durable component ready for use.
