Formlabs Elastic 50A Resin V1 (Form 3) - 1L is the primary material solution for engineers and designers requiring the softest engineering-grade elastomer within the Formlabs ecosystem. Whilst standard flexible resins provide a higher degree of rigidity, this formulation is engineered to simulate the haptics and performance of silicone, offering significant elongation and energy return. Consequently, it is the optimal choice for producing wearable devices, medical models, and soft-touch gaskets that must withstand repeated cycles of compression and stretching.
Dynamic Performance with Formlabs Elastic 50A Resin V1 (Form 3) - 1L
The mechanical properties of this V1 iteration deliver a Shore 50A durometer, providing a unique balance between pliability and durability. Furthermore, the 1L cartridge is specifically validated for the Form 3 and Form 3+ series, ensuring that intricate internal structures and thin-walled geometries are produced with high fidelity. This consistency is vital for maintaining the performance standards required for functional prototypes that must mimic the tear resistance and elasticity of traditional injection-moulded rubber.
Integrating this specialised elastomer into your additive manufacturing workflow allows for a more efficient iterative cycle for consumer goods and industrial components. By utilising the precise light processing of the Formlabs platform, users can achieve translucent parts that reveal internal mechanisms or complex assemblies. This efficiency ensures that ADD Labs clients remain at the forefront of product innovation, providing custom solutions that bridge the gap between initial concept and final production-grade elastomers.
