At Additive-X, we supply a trusted selection of elastic resin from leading brands including Formlabs. Whether you're prototyping medical devices, wearables or creating soft end-use parts, elastic resin offers unmatched material behaviour for demanding applications.
What is Elastic Resin?
Elastic resin is a soft, rubber-like 3D printing material used to replicate the performance of silicone or flexible thermoplastics. It’s ideal for parts that bend, compress, and bounce back repeatedly without tearing or cracking.
Engineered with low Shore hardness and excellent tear strength, elastic resin is perfect for:
- Wearable product prototypes
- Medical training models
- Gaskets and seals
- Functional soft-touch components
- Stretchable mechanical parts
Its combination of flexibility and resilience opens the door to a wide range of advanced applications.
Key Benefits of Elastic Resin
The right elastic resin transforms what’s possible with resin-based 3D printing. You get the flexibility of silicone with the precision of SLA technology.
Here’s what makes it stand out:
- Soft and stretchable with excellent elasticity
- Durable and tear-resistant for functional testing
- Prints intricate geometries with fine surface detail
- Ideal for iterative design in wearable and medical fields
- Compatible with desktop SLA workflows
With elastic resin, you’re no longer limited to rigid prototypes. You can now print realistic, functional parts with tactile feedback that closely mimics soft manufactured materials.
Flexible Solutions Across Industries
Elastic resin is a smart choice across a range of sectors, from consumer goods to healthcare. In medical fields, it’s used to create lifelike anatomical models or cushioning components for devices. In product design, it enables prototyping of soft user-interface parts or wearable components.
The stretchable nature of this resin makes it uniquely suited to simulate rubber and silicone parts, helping you test, validate, and iterate faster.
