Rethink what flexible 3D printing resin can do. It gets stronger every year! The new Formlabs Flexible 80A Resin V2 is a resilient 3D printing elastomer that rivals the look, feel, and function of 80A cast urethanes, TPUs, and hard rubbers. The design was created by Lais Kriwat, CEO of Kriwat GmbH, a German company with expertise in orthopedic technology and patient-specific solutions, including gait analysis, custom orthotics, orthopedic footwear, bracing, and compression therapy. We manufactured the parts and shipped them today so he can get a first-hand feel for the new material. More information about the new material here:

This soft robotic tentacle, designed by YouTuber It's On My Mind, was printed as a single part on a Formlabs Form 4 resin 3D printer using Silicone 40A. Soft robotics engineers use 3D printing and Silicone 40A to create complex internal geometries - like pressure channels - printed in one piece, with no molds or post-assembly engineering required. When pressurized, those internal chambers steer the tentacle in any direction. #3DPrinting #Formlabs #Robotics

From prototyping to end-use parts. All on the same machine. SLS printing combines industrial-grade materials with the design freedom engineers need to create complex products with fewer manufacturing limitations. The team at Palladion Systems developed a print-in-place counter-UAV system manufactured as a single build with deployable arms integrated directly into the design. Manufactured on the Formlabs Fuse Series, this approach reduces assembly, speeds up iteration, and enables scalable production.

Silicone casting has never been so satisfying, or so transparent. By 3D printing molds in Formlabs Clear Resin on the Form 4, engineers can ensure silicone fills every tiny detail without any trapped air bubbles. The cast silicone part is a protective mask for automotive shock tubes, used to shield critical areas during the coating process. By using a 3D printed mold, they can cast and test prototypes in the real world before spending thousands to machine permanent factory tools. Thanks to Echo Engineering for the awesome demo! #engineering #3dprinting #silicone

Shane Wighton, from the YouTube channel Stuff Made Here, used 3D-printed tooling to form a sheet metal component as part of a concept validation process. Metal manufacturing is essential for all areas of the economy. Because of their strength, stiffness, and long-term durability, metal components are used in applications from appliances to construction parts and car body panels. Traditional metal manufacturing techniques include forming, casting, molding, joining, and machining. Sheet metal forming involves various processes where force is applied to a piece of sheet metal to plastically deform the material into the desired shape, modifying its geometry rather than removing any material. Sheet metals can be bent or stretched into a variety of complex shapes, permitting the creation of complex structures with great strength and a minimum amount of material. Sheet metal forming is the most cost-effective forming procedure today for manufacturing parts in large quantities. It can be highly automated in factories or, at the other end of the spectrum, manually operated in metal workshops for small series parts. It is a versatile, consistent, and high-quality procedure to create accurate metal parts with limited material waste. From metal cans to protective housing for hardware, parts created by sheet metal forming are found everywhere in our daily lives. In this article, learn the basics of sheet metals, the various sheet metal forming processes, and how to reduce the cost of sheet metal forming with rapid tooling and 3D printed dies. For a detailed overview and the step-by-step method, watch our webinar or download our white paper: Research conducted by Shane Wighton.
