Elastic 50A V1 Resin
SOFT FLEXIBILITY
Embrace the flexibility of Elastic 50A Resin V1, perfect for creating soft, flexible prototypes akin to silicone. Ideal for wearables, compressible buttons, stretchable enclosures, robotics, medical models, and special effects, it offers versatility in design.
Key Features of the Formlabs Elastic 50A V1 Resin:
- Enables prototyping of soft, flexible parts
- Mimics silicone for realistic feel
- Withstands repeated bending and stretching w/o tearing
- Bendable parts spring back quickly
- Ideal for straps, compressible buttons, casings, medical models, and more
- Legacy formulation of Elastic 50A Resin
Note: Elastic 50A Resin V1 will be discontinued, making way for V2 with enhanced features like easier support removal, faster printing, and improved transparency.

| Notes | Notes |
| Wash Elastic 50A Resin for 10 minutes on the build platform. Remove parts from the build platform, then wash for 10 more minutes using fresh solvent. Avoid washing Elastic 50A Resin for longer than 20 minutes, as this may degrade parts. |
For parts printed in an engineering-focused resin (such as those in the Rigid, Tough & Durable, and Flexible & Elastic families), post-curing ensures that the parts reach their optimal mechanical properties and can function as designed. There is only one recommended post-curing time for Elastic 50A Resin. |
