Formlabs Silicone 40A Resin 5L for Large Volume 3D Printing
Formlabs Silicone 40A Resin 5L is the world's first available resin made from 100% pure silicone for 3D printing, created based on the patented Pure Silicone Technology™. This material eliminates the need for casting and labor-intensive molding processes, allowing you to produce silicone products on your own in just a few hours.
Main Features
The resin has a Shore hardness of 40A and provides a combination of softness, flexibility, and durability. Products made from this material withstand multiple cycles of bending, compression, and stretching without losing their properties.
- Elongation at break – 230%
- Tensile strength – 5.5 MPa
- Tear resistance – 12 kN/m
- Operating temperature – from -25 °C to +125 °C
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Over 500,000 cycles in flex fatigue testing
These indicators make the resin an ideal choice for creating functional prototypes and final products.
Advantages of Using Silicone 40A Resin in 5L Capacity
- Time and cost savings by eliminating casting and molding
- 86% reduction in material costs
- 5 times longer printing - less labor costs.
- High accuracy and detail of elements from 0.3 mm
- Ability to create complex geometries that cannot be realized by traditional methods
- Stable isotropic material properties
- Compatibility with the Formlabs SLA ecosystem for rapid production
This silicone resin for 3D printing opens a new level in creating custom and small-batch products.
Outstanding Elastomeric Characteristics
Manufacture soft and durable parts with an elongation at break of 230% and tear resistance of 12 kN/m. They withstand multiple deformation cycles and operate in a temperature range from -25 °C to +125 °C, demonstrating excellent chemical resistance.
Economic Prototyping and Small-Batch Production
With Formlabs Silicone 40A Resin 5L, you can eliminate expensive molds and labor-intensive casting. This allows for the rapid launch of custom parts and small batches of products.
New Design Freedom
With this resin, you can create thin elements from 0.3 mm, complex shapes, and constructions with isotropic properties. This solution is suitable for both engineers and designers who aim to realize complex projects.
Applications
The resin is used in many industries:
- Automotive and robotics – seals, dampers, connectors, gaskets
- Consumer goods – pads, handles, wearable devices, flexible elements
- Medicine – prosthetics, orthopedic products, hearing aids, biocompatible models
- Manufacturing – flexible tools, masking agents, soft molds for casting polyurethane or resins
The material has certified biocompatibility, making it suitable for medical and scientific applications.
As a material for medical models and prototypes, Formlabs resin has proven to be a reliable choice for engineers and manufacturing companies.
Equipment Compatibility
- Supported by a wide range of printers: Form 3, Form 3+, Form 3B, Form 3B+, Form 4, Form 4B.
- Resin tanks: Form 3 RT V2.1 and Form 4 RT.
- Platforms: Form 4 BP, Form 4 Flex BP, Form 3 BP, Form 3 BP 2, Form 3 Stainless Steel BP.
- Important: for printing with 5L resin, you need a resin pump Form 3 Resin Pump, Form 4 Resin Pump.
Post-Processing
- Form Wash – 20 minutes in IPA solution (8L) and n-Butyl Acetate (2L), then drying for at least 60 minutes.
- Form Cure – 45 minutes at 60 °C with immersion in water in a glass container.
This processing ensures the maximum performance properties of the printed parts.
