Formlabs SLA – Silicone 40A Resin

$349.00

Silicone 40A Resin is a soft, high-elasticity elastomeric material engineered for functional parts requiring flexibility, durability, and resilience under repeated stretching, bending, and compression. Parts printed with Silicone 40A Resin deliver excellent tear strength and elongation, making this material ideal for gaskets, seals, grips, wearable prototypes, compliant mechanisms, and other applications where pliable, rubber-like performance is essential.

Manufactured using Formlabs’ patent-pending Pure Silicone Technology™, Silicone 40A Resin combines the mechanical properties of cast silicone with the design freedom of 3D printing, providing excellent chemical and thermal resistance and fine feature resolution. This makes it well suited for engineering, consumer products, robotics, automotive, and healthcare applications that demand soft, durable parts with long-term performance.

Why Choose Silicone 40A Resin?
Produce soft, elastic, and durable parts with Silicone 40A Resin, the first accessible 100 % pure silicone 3D printing material that combines the flexibility and resilience of cast silicone with the ease and precision of SLA printing.

Pure Silicone Elastomeric Performance
Formulated using patent-pending Pure Silicone Technology™, Silicone 40A Resin delivers authentic silicone material properties — including elasticity, chemical resistance, and thermal stability — previously only achievable through molding and casting.

Soft, Flexible, and Tough
Create pliable parts with a Shore 40A durometer, up to 230 % elongation at break, and excellent tear strength, engineered to stretch, bend, and compress repeatedly without failure.

Fine Features with Design Freedom
Print detailed, complex geometries that are difficult or impossible to produce with traditional silicone processes, supporting fine features down to ~0.3 mm and enabling functional soft-touch prototypes and parts.

Chemical and Thermal Resistance
Silicone 40A Resin parts withstand a wide service range of temperatures (approximately -25 °C to 125 °C) and deliver strong resistance to many chemicals, making them suitable for demanding prototyping and end-use scenarios.

Applications
Ideal for flexible, functional parts that require elastic recovery, durability, and real silicone material behavior.

Consider Silicone 40A Resin for:

  • Flexible seals, gaskets, and dampeners
  • Handles, grips, and wearable components
  • Customized prosthetics, orthotics, and medical models
  • Soft fixtures, masking tools, and casting molds
  • Elastomeric components requiring repeated bending and compression

Material properties may vary depending on part design, printing parameters, and post-processing. Users are responsible for validating performance for their specific application.
