3Dresyn VAM SSA1 is our Swellable Super Absorbent and Ultra Elastic Hydrogel resin for VAM 3D printers

3Dresyn VAM SSA1 is recommended for printing water and alcohol swellable super absorbent Hydrogel 3D materials.

It is designed for making very soft gels or jellies ultra elastic Hydrogel materials with Shore O30, which cannot be directly 3D printed due to their excessive softness and resilience. It is also intended for intricate, complex and highly customizable Hydrogel scaffold structures that can support cell adhesion and promote cell infiltration for tissue engineering 3D and for printing hydrogel scaffolds.

Designed for use with VAM 3D printers for fabrication of water and alcohol swellable super absorbent Hydrogel materials, including hydrogel scaffolds, tissue engineering structures and highly detailed parts that swell after immersion in water or alcohol.
