BioMed Elastic 50A Resin: The Biocompatible Elastomer for Formlabs
At EXPERT3D you can now purchase the BioMed Elastic 50A Resin, the reference photopolymer for medical 3D printing on Formlabs equipment.
The BioMed Elastic 50A is the softest elastomer material in the entire BioMed biocompatible resin range. Designed specifically for the healthcare sector, it enables you to 3D print flexible, soft, and fully customised parts — opening up a wide range of new possibilities for medical professionals and medical device developers alike.
Direct printing of medical products not only increases efficiency, but also ensures greater patient comfort. This material is ideal for creating transparent soft-tissue models — key tools for surgical planning. By using BioMed Elastic 50A Resin, you reduce time and costs in applications that demand transparency, biocompatibility, and ergonomics. It holds ISO 10993 and USP Class VI certification, is manufactured in FDA-registered and ISO 13485-certified facilities, and is suitable for prolonged skin contact (>30 days) and brief mucosal contact (<24 hours).
Why Choose BioMed Elastic 50A Resin?
Printing with BioMed Elastic 50A represents a significant step forward in medical innovation. This technology allows you to manufacture comfortable medical devices tailored to each patient's unique anatomy, as well as realistic soft-tissue models to support surgeons in the operating theatre.
Key Material Properties
Comfort and Customisation. Mass-produce fully personalised medical-grade parts tailored to the individual needs of your patients.
Softness and Realism. With BioMed Elastic 50A, you can create soft-tissue models perfect for surgical training and the practice of complex procedures. These models replicate the softness and biomechanical characteristics of human tissue, making them ideal for simulating life-size hearts, gastrointestinal tracts, or intricate neurovascular models for use in the operating theatre.
Optical Transparency. Achieve sharp, transparent models that allow you to clearly visualise how instruments or objects move within internal cavities.
Certified Medical Material. Biocompatible parts suitable for prolonged skin contact (>30 days) and short-term mucosal contact (<24 hours), backed by USP Class VI certification.

Flexible, Soft Resin for Medical Applications
Print soft, elastic parts that require strict biocompatibility directly with BioMed Elastic 50A*.
- Ergonomic medical devices requiring prolonged skin contact.
- Anatomical soft-tissue models: organs, muscles, skin, and fine vascular structures.
*Unlike Formlabs dental resins, BioMed resins do not have a single predefined intended use. Material properties may vary depending on part design and manufacturing methods. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer, their customers, and the end user to determine the biocompatibility and efficacy of printed parts for their specific application. To provide greater assurance, Formlabs has verified biocompatibility and sterilisation compatibility for standard use cases, and manufactures these resins in ISO 13485-certified facilities. Representative examples and supporting documentation are available.
