3Dresyn PP FA50 Flexible A50

3Dresyn PP FA50 is a flexible, elastomeric photopolymer formulation designed to provide high elasticity, very low modulus and excellent foldability while maintaining structural integrity. The material enables the fabrication of durable components capable of undergoing large deformation and repeated compression without failure.

This formulation is engineered to deliver a soft rubber-like mechanical profile (Shore A scale), making it particularly suitable for applications requiring maximum compliance, surface adaptation and efficient stress distribution.

Designed for use in vat photopolymerization systems (SLA, DLP and LCD) within professional and industrial environments for soft, elastic and highly deformable components.

Particularly suitable for ultra-soft elastomeric printing plates where maximum compression, full surface conformity and repeated deformation cycles are required.
