Formlabs Silicone 40A Resin for Form 4, 1L

Formlabs Silicone 40A Resin for 3D printing, 1 L

Formlabs Silicone 40A Resin is a flexible silicone resin for 3D printing on Formlabs Form 4 series photopolymer printers.

Formlabs Silicone 40A Resin is the first 100% silicone resin available on the market that allows you to create strong, elastic parts with high thermal resistance and chemical stability. Thanks to the patented Pure Silicone Technology™, you can now make real silicone products right in your workshop—no casting, molds, or lengthy prep work needed.



Key advantages

  • 100% pure silicone formula without acrylates and monomers
  • High elasticity - up to 230%
  • Tensile strength - 12 kN/m
  • Thermal resistance - from -25°C to +125°C
  • Extreme elasticity and wear resistance - withstands more than 500,000 cycles
  • Accuracy up to 0.3 mm when printing complex shapes
  • Biocompatible – safe for use in healthcare



A revolution in silicone manufacturing

This Shore 40A silicone resin opens up a new level of design freedom, allowing you to print parts with geometries that cannot be achieved using traditional methods. It is suitable for rapid prototyping, small batch production, and custom component manufacturing.


3D printing with silicone using Formlabs Silicone 40A Resin means:

  • minimization of manufacturing costs and time
  • precise replication of parts with each new print
  • ease of integration into any production cycle



Compatibility with Formlabs equipment

This resin cartridge for the Form 4 SLA printer is compatible with a wide range of accessories:


High-purity biocompatible flexible material

Silicone 40A Resin is pure silicone without the addition of monomers or acrylates, combining the material properties of cast silicone with the advantages of 3D printing.

Parts printed with Silicone 40A resin meet the requirements of ISO 10993-1:2020 and are biologically safe for permanent (>30 days) contact with skin and limited (≤ 24 hours) contact with mucous membranes.
