Resin
Flexible Resin
Soft, rubber-like resin for parts that need to bend, compress and absorb impact.
Flexible resin cures into an elastomer-like material (Shore 50–80A) used for gaskets, grips, wearable prototypes and overmolded handles. Balances detail with flexibility; post-cure tuning affects final hardness.
