Introducing Three New Formlabs Resins
Formlabs is expanding their offerings for engineers and healthcare with three new resins.
Flexible 80A
The Flexible 80A Resin is a reformulation of Formlabs' current Flexible Resin (V2). It is the most stiff soft-touch material in their library of Flexible and Elastic Resins, with an 80A Shore durometer to simulate the flexibility of rubber or TPU. Balancing softness with strength, Flexible 80A Resin can withstand bending, flexing, and compression, even through repeated cycles. Choose this resin for:
-
Handles, grips, and overmolds
-
Seals, gaskets, and masks
-
Cushioning, damping, and shock absorption
-
Cartilage, tendon, and ligament anatomy
BioMed Clear
BioMed Clear Resin is a strong, hard resin for biocompatible applications requiring long-term skin or mucosal membrane contact. This USP Class VI certified material is suitable for applications that require wear resistance and low water absorption over time. Parts printed with BioMed Clear Resin are compatible with common sterilization methods and can be sterilized to CDC standards.
BioMed Clear Resin is manufactured in our ISO 13485 facility and is supported with an FDA Device Master File. This material is well suited for the following:
-
Medical devices and device components
-
Jigs and fixtures
-
Surgical planning and implant sizing tools
-
Drug delivery devices
-
Bioprocessing equipment
-
Research and development
BioMed Amber
BioMed Amber Resin is a rigid material ideal for biocompatible applications requiring short-term skin or mucosal membrane contact. Parts printed with BioMed Amber Resin are compatible with common solvent disinfection and sterilization methods.
BioMed Amber Resin is manufactured in our ISO 13485 facility. Use this material for the following:
-
Medical devices and device components
-
Surgical planning and implant sizing tools
-
Implant guides and drilling templates
-
Research and development
