Silicone like resins
Silicone-like 3D resins organized for elastomeric behavior through two visible hardness routes: Hard SR Shore A70 and Soft SR Shore A30.
This collection is not a broad continuum of many elastomer grades. The visible products currently define two anchor routes: a harder silicone-like elastomer at Shore A70 and a softer silicone-like elastomer at Shore A30.
Navigate by: higher-shape-retention silicone-like behavior, softer elastomeric deformation or tactile-response requirement.
The visible collection already defines the main comparison logic: one harder silicone-like route at Shore A70 and one softer route at Shore A30.
That means selection is not abstract. It is already anchored to whether the application needs higher shape retention and resilience or much softer deformability.

Key features & benefits
Two real elastomeric anchors: shape retention vs softness
The two visible grades already define the core silicone-like trade-off: a harder elastomeric system for more structural flexible parts and a softer system for more deformable, tactile or cushioning behavior.
- Silicone-like feel and elastomeric response
- Soft-touch behavior and flexible deformation
- Two visible hardness anchors for simple material selection
- Stable printability and post-cure behavior
- Suitable for engineering and medical-related soft-part research depending on the project

Included products and technical roles
Silicone like 3Dresyn Hard SR with Shore A70
Hard SR is the higher-hardness silicone-like route in the visible collection. Its position at Shore A70 makes it the more shape-retaining of the two visible grades.
- Silicone-like behavior with stronger structural retention than the softer route
- Useful where the part must still deform but not collapse too easily
- Closer to flexible functional component logic than to ultra-soft cushioning logic
- Soft gaskets and seals needing some shape retention
- Flexible engineering components
- Wearable parts that should not be too soft
- Applications where resilience matters as much as softness
Silicone like 3Dresyn Soft SR with Shore A30
Soft SR is the lower-hardness route in the visible collection and therefore the more deformable and softer silicone-like system of the two.
- Greater softness and higher tactile compliance than Hard SR
- More suitable for cushioning or soft-contact behavior
- More deformation-oriented route inside the visible collection
- Soft-touch prototypes
- Cushioning and contact parts
- Soft wearable concepts
- Applications prioritizing compliant feel over shape retention
Selection logic
How to choose the right silicone-like resin
The visible collection is simple enough that selection should start directly from the required hardness and deformation behavior.
- Need more structural flexible behavior → choose Hard SR Shore A70
- Need softer deformation and cushioning → choose Soft SR Shore A30
- Need a balance between feel and recovery → compare both routes directly in the target geometry
Geometry matters as much as hardness
Even with only two visible grades, final part behavior will change strongly with wall thickness, lattice geometry, strain level and post-curing conditions. Shore value alone is not enough for final selection.
Engineering note
Final performance depends on part geometry, exposure settings, post-curing conditions and deformation range in use.
Interpretation principle
These products should be understood as two silicone-like elastomeric anchor routes rather than as direct silicone replacements. Final validation must always be performed on the printed part under real use conditions.
