Formlabs BioMed Elastic 50A resin (Form 4)

Formlabs BioMed Elastic 50A Resin (Form 4) 1 L

BioMed Elastic 50A Resin is a soft, elastic, and transparent material designed for biocompatible applications. It is ideal for producing mass-personalised medical devices that require long-term skin contact (>30 days) or short-term mucosal membrane contact (<24 hours). This material is manufactured in an FDA-registered, ISO 13485 certified facility.

This 1-litre cartridge is specifically engineered for the Form 4 ecosystem, enabling the direct 3D printing of comfortable, patient-specific devices and highly realistic soft tissue models. Its transparency allows clinicians to clearly visualise internal structures and flow during surgical planning.

Why choose BioMed Elastic 50A Resin?

Fuel medical innovation using 3D printing and BioMed Elastic 50A Resin, from comfortable, patient-specific medical devices to soft tissue medical models surgeons can reference in the operating room (O.R.).

• Patient comfort: produce medical-grade parts that are soft, flexible, and comfortable for extended wear.
• Realistic soft tissue: create models that mimic the feel and biomechanical behaviour of human tissue, ideal for organs, muscles, and vasculature.
• High transparency: clear parts allow surgeons to see how tools or liquids move within a model during pre-operative rehearsals.
• Medical-grade certification: manufactured within a strict Quality Management System (ISO 13485) and USP Class VI certified.
• Workflow efficiency: bypass traditional moulding processes to print complex, elastic medical components directly.

Applications for BioMed Elastic 50A Resin:

Directly 3D print soft, elastic parts requiring biocompatibility with BioMed Elastic 50A Resin. Reduce workflow times by eliminating moulding to directly produce comfortable, patient-specific medical devices or soft tissue medical models surgeons can reference in the O.R.

• Comfortable medical devices: personalised wearables and components requiring prolonged contact with skin.
• Anatomical soft tissue models: realistic representations of hearts, gastrointestinal structures, and neurovascular models.
• Surgical planning: transparent organs used to reference complex anatomy in the operating room.
• Educational aids: durable and flexible models for training medical professionals in delicate procedures.

Post-processing

Washing

The foundational step in any SLA post-processing workflow is to remove excess resin on the surface of the parts through an alcohol wash. Please refer to the material's manufacturing guide/IFU for washing instructions.

Curing

For biocompatible materials, post-curing is necessary to achieve the safety standards determined by regulatory agencies. Please follow the material’s manufacturing guide/IFU for proper post-processing.

Note: Only compatible with the Formlabs Form 4 series resin printer.
