3Dresyn PP TFD30 tough & foldable D30

Product description

3Dresyn PP TFD30 is a tough, non-brittle photopolymer formulation designed to provide high elasticity, softness and foldability while maintaining structural integrity. The material enables the fabrication of durable components capable of undergoing large deformations and repeated compression without failure.

This formulation is engineered to deliver a low-modulus, elastomer-like mechanical profile, making it particularly suitable for applications requiring high compliance, surface adaptation and energy absorption.

Application framework

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

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

Typical applications

• Soft flexographic (flexo) printing plates
• Pad printing clichés with maximum surface conformity and ink transfer
• Ultra-soft contact printing plates for highly irregular or compressible substrates
• Relief printing plates requiring high deformation capability
• Soft lithography and microcontact printing (PDMS-like applications)
• Flexible plates for packaging, textiles and soft materials
• 3D printed plates and panels
• Highly flexible functional components

Measured mechanical properties

• Tensile strength: <20 MPa (ISO 527-1 / ISO 527-2)
• Flexural strength: <10 MPa (ISO 178)
• Young’s modulus: <20 MPa (ISO 527)
• Elongation at break: >45% (ISO 527)
• Shore hardness: D30 (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) elastomer-like behavior
• High flexibility and foldability without breaking
• High impact and shattering resistance
• Very low modulus enabling large deformation under load
• Durable under repeated mechanical stress
• High compression capability for maximum substrate conformity
• Enhanced elastic recovery for repeated printing cycles
• Suitable for soft-contact and high-deformation printing environments

Printing plate performance

• Contact behavior: soft elastomeric (high compression)
• Ink transfer: driven by deformation and full surface conformity
• Recovery: high elastic recovery after compression cycles
• Best suited for: soft flexographic printing, pad printing and soft-contact applications
• Flexo note: ideal for low-pressure printing and highly irregular or soft substrates
• Pad printing note: maximized ink pickup and release due to high 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

• Synthetic resin base
• Organo-tin free formulation
