Flexible Biomed Resins

Formlabs, Somerville, MA, has introduced three healthcare-focused materials to its library. BioMed Elastic 50A Resin, BioMed Flex 80A Resin, and IBT Flex Resin are designed to streamline workflows and reduce labor time. The two BioMed materials will expand the applications for 3D printing in healthcare, reducing the time and costs associated with traditional production methods, such as molding. These materials are suited for long-term skin contact and short-term mucosal membrane contact for flexible patient-matched medical device components, comfortable medical devices, as well as tissue medical models for surgeons to reference in the operating room. IBT Flex Resin is designed with tear-resistant, accurate, and transparent properties for dental applications, including 3D printed direct composite restoration guides and indirect bonding trays.
