3Dresyn PP TFD80 tough & foldable D80

Product description

3Dresyn PP TFD80 is a tough, non-brittle photopolymer formulation designed to provide controlled flexibility and foldability while maintaining structural integrity. The material enables the fabrication of durable components that can deform and bend in thin sections without breaking.

This formulation is engineered to deliver a balanced mechanical profile between medium rigidity and flexibility, making it suitable for dynamic applications requiring impact resistance, cyclic deformation and controlled contact behavior.

Application framework

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

Particularly suitable for flexible and elastomer-like printing plates where controlled compression, surface conformity and recovery are required.

Typical applications

• Flexographic (flexo) printing plates
• Pad printing clichés (enhanced ink pickup and transfer)
• Relief printing plates requiring controlled deformation
• Soft-contact printing plates for irregular substrates
• Flexible plates for packaging and labeling applications
• 3D printed plates and panels
• Flexible functional components
• Thin-wall and foldable structures
• Engineering prototypes requiring toughness and flexibility

Measured mechanical properties

• Tensile strength: <25 MPa (ISO 527-1 / ISO 527-2)
• Flexural strength: >35 MPa (ISO 178)
• Young’s modulus: <1000 MPa (ISO 527)
• Elongation at break: <40% (ISO 527)
• Shore hardness: D80 (ISO 868)
• Notched Izod impact resistance: ~85 J/m (ISO 180)

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
• Controlled flexibility and foldability in thin sections
• High impact and shattering resistance
• Balanced rigidity and flexibility
• Durable under repeated mechanical stress
• Controlled compression under load enabling surface conformity
• Partial elastic recovery supporting repeated contact cycles
• Suitable for cyclic deformation environments such as printing applications

Printing plate performance

• Contact behavior: flexible with controlled compression
• Ink transfer: driven by combined geometry and deformation
• Recovery: partial elastic recovery after compression cycles
• Best suited for: flexographic printing plates and soft-contact printing
• Pad printing note: improved ink pickup and release due to surface conformity
• Flexo note: suitable for medium-pressure flexographic applications and irregular substrates

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.
