Lithuanian company AmeraLabs has introduced FLX-300, a new 3D printing resin specifically designed for elastic and resilient applications. It is the manufacturer’s first flexible material and is aimed at users who need durable functional components with lasting elasticity, such as seals, vibration dampers, or components for soft robotics systems.
The resin was developed for standard LCD and DLP 3D printers and is designed to maintain consistent elasticity and surface hardness over extended periods of time. According to AmeraLabs, internal testing showed no measurable change in the material’s mechanical properties over a three-month period. This addresses a common problem with many flexible resins, which lose softness over time after curing.
According to the manufacturer, FLX-300 has a low compression set value, which enables reliable shape recovery after repeated stress. Other features include high elongation at break, low water absorption, and a non-sticky surface after curing. This makes the resin suitable for use in environments where consistent performance and dimensional stability are required, such as in humid conditions or changing temperatures.
The new elastomer resin is now available from the AmeraLabs online store and through authorized distributors. There are plans to expand the offering to Amazon platforms in the US and UK.
