3Dresyn PP TFD70 tough & foldable D70

Product description

3Dresyn PP TFD70 is a tough, non-brittle photopolymer formulation designed to provide enhanced flexibility and foldability while maintaining structural integrity. The material enables the fabrication of durable components that can undergo repeated deformation without cracking or permanent damage.

This formulation is engineered to deliver a low-modulus mechanical profile with high flexibility, making it particularly suitable for applications requiring repeated compression, surface conformity and elastic-like behavior.

Application framework

Designed for use in vat photopolymerization systems (SLA, DLP and LCD) within professional and industrial environments for flexible, impact-resistant and deformation-tolerant components.

Particularly suitable for flexible printing plates where high compliance, surface adaptation and repeated compression cycles are required.

Typical applications

• Flexographic (flexo) printing plates for medium and low hardness requirements
• Pad printing clichés with enhanced surface conformity and ink transfer
• Soft-contact printing plates for irregular or textured substrates
• Relief printing plates requiring high flexibility
• Flexible plates for packaging, labeling and soft substrates
• 3D printed plates and panels
• Flexible functional components
• Thin-wall and foldable structures

Measured mechanical properties

• Tensile strength: <20 MPa (ISO 527-1 / ISO 527-2)
• Flexural strength: <25 MPa (ISO 178)
• Young’s modulus: <500 MPa (ISO 527)
• Elongation at break: <40% (ISO 527)
• Shore hardness: D70 (ISO 868)

Measured physical properties

• Shrinkage: very low (typical)
• Resolution capability: very high (process-dependent)
• Color stability: non-settling formulation

Functional performance characteristics

• Tough (non-brittle) material behavior
• High flexibility and foldability without breaking
• High impact and shattering resistance
• Low modulus enabling deformation under load
• Durable under repeated mechanical stress
• Enhanced compression capability for improved substrate conformity
• Improved elastic recovery compared to higher Shore materials
• Suitable for cyclic compression environments such as flexographic printing

Printing plate performance

• Contact behavior: flexible with significant compression
• Ink transfer: driven by deformation and surface conformity
• Recovery: moderate elastic recovery after compression cycles
• Best suited for: flexographic printing, soft-contact printing and conformable pad printing
• Flexo note: suitable for printing on irregular, curved or compressible substrates
• Pad printing note: enhanced ink pickup and release due to increased surface compliance

Processing and handling performance

• Printing technologies: SLA, DLP and LCD
• Compatible with most commercial and professional systems when properly calibrated
• Stable processing and reliable printability
• Increased durability of the resin tank during printing

Chemical and safety characteristics

• Biocompatible (final part validation required)
• Synthetic resin base
• Organo-tin free formulation

Testing & processing disclaimer

Material properties are measured under controlled laboratory conditions and may vary depending on printer type, exposure conditions, layer thickness, build orientation and post-processing workflow.
