Introducing Silicone 40A Resin, the first accessible 100% silicone 3D printing resin. Eliminate molding and labor-intensive casting processes: Silicone 40A Resin uses Formlabs’ patent-pending Pure Silicone Technology™ to 3D print pure silicone parts in-house, in a matter of hours. With this 40A Shore durometer material, you can fabricate soft, pliable, and durable parts with a 230% elongation at break and a 12 kN/m tear strength that can withstand repeated cycles of stretching, flexing, and compression. Combine the high performance of silicone and the design freedom of 3D printing to create highly functional silicone parts with excellent chemical and thermal resistance (-25°C to 125°C), fine features as small as 0.3 mm, and complex geometries that are not possible with traditional methods.

Special Notes

Wash

  • Follow the instructions in the Silicone 40A Resin IPA sonication wash guide for best results with washing parts printed in Silicone 40A Resin.
  • Alternatively, wash parts printed with Silicone 40A Resin in an 80/20 mixture of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and n-butyl acetate. Do not wash with IPA alone unless following the instructions in the Silicone 40A Resin IPA sonication wash guide.
  • Only use Formlabs-approved solvents with the Form Wash.
  • Only use n-Butyl Acetate/IPA mixture in an unused Form Wash bucket that has not been exposed to other solvents.
  • Once a Form Wash bucket has been used with n-Butyl Acetate, do not switch to pure IPA. Doing so risks compromising the integrity of the bucket plastic.
  • If you notice cracking or crazing on your Form Wash bucket, discontinue use immediately, empty of solvent, and contact Formlabs.
  • Formlabs does not recommend using Resin Washing Solution to wash parts printed in this resin.

Cure

  • Form Cure V2: Place dry parts in a glass beaker (or other UV-transparent container) and completely submerge the parts in water. Place the container inside a Form Cure.
