Flexible 80A Resin V2 is a resilient 3D printing elastomer that rivals the look, feel, and function of 80A cast urethanes, TPUs, and hard rubbers.
Parts printed in Flexible 80A Resin V2 snap back into place and withstand repeated bending, tension, and compression. Create tear-resistant functional prototypes and end-use parts, protect sensitive components with soft inserts and fixtures, or design refined padding and grips with tack-free surfaces and a matte, black finish.
Flexible 80A Resin V2 uses Form 4 Series printer technology to deliver higher tear strength, higher elongation at break, higher rebound, and improved aesthetics and ageing compared to the previous version.

Why Choose Flexible 80A Resin V2?
Resilient elastomeric 3D printing material that rivals the look, feel, and function of 80A cast urethanes, TPUs, and hard rubbers.
Exceptionally High Rebound
Produce resilient parts that snap back to shape with a 56% pendulum rebound, comparable to 80A cast urethanes.
Tough and Tear-Resistant
Create durable, stretchable parts that resist failure with a tear strength of 28 kN/m and elongation at break of 230%, twice as high as the previous generation.
Looks and Feels Like a Cast Urethane
Print functional prototypes and end-use parts that match the look and feel of traditional cast urethanes with a matte, black appearance and tack-free surfaces.
Fatigue-Resistant, Long-Term Performance
Create long-lasting connectors, fixtures, and covers that survive more cycles and retain performance after accelerated indoor ageing.
Applications
Functional Prototypes and End-Use Parts
Produce parts with the look and feel of cast urethanes.
Soft Inserts, Jigs, and Fixtures
Protect precision components and finished surfaces while withstanding repeated use.
Custom Covers, Gaskets, and Seals
Create flexible, resilient parts for sealing, covering, and protection applications.
Shock-Absorbing Bumpers and Enclosures
Produce protective elastomeric parts that absorb impact and protect sensitive components.

Post-Processing
Washing
The foundational step in any SLA post-processing workflow is to remove any excess resin on the surface of the parts through an alcohol or ether wash.
Settings: Form Wash | Form Wash L
Curing
Post-curing Engineering and Specialty Resins is essential for parts to achieve their full strength and functionality. This step completes the chemical reaction initiated during printing, transforming the part from its green state into a fully finished component.
