Formlabs BioMed Flex 80A Flexible & Biocompatible Resin
The flexible resin BioMed Flex 80A is Formlabs' new benchmark elastomeric material. This is a medical-grade material — firm yet flexible — designed specifically for 3D printing transparent parts that demand high durability and, above all, certified biocompatibility.
With BioMed Flex 80A, you get the best of both worlds: the flexibility and ease of use you already know from the Flexible 80A resin, combined with the rigorous medical certifications your healthcare projects require.
This material is certified to ISO 10993 and USP Class VI standards. It is also manufactured in FDA-registered, ISO 13485-certified facilities. This means you can use it with complete confidence for applications requiring prolonged skin contact (up to 30 days) and brief mucosal contact (up to 24 hours).
Why Choose BioMed Flex 80A for Your Medical Projects?
3D printing has become the most efficient alternative to traditional methods such as moulding. It allows you to take an idea through to a finished product in record time, with unrivalled geometric design freedom. Thanks to its flexibility and biocompatibility, BioMed Flex 80A is the ideal candidate for manufacturing medical devices and anatomical models that must simulate the behaviour of real tissue.
Key Properties of This Flexible Resin
This flexible material adapts to the natural movement of the body, making it perfect for medical devices and firm tissue models that require mucosal contact. Leave behind costly, time-consuming moulds and optimise your workflow by embracing mass customisation.
You can produce complex, transparent, and firm tissue models and take them directly into the operating theatre as a reference guide during complex medical procedures — for example, to determine implant sizes, cartilage models, or visualisation of organ pathologies.
The material is produced in strict compliance with ISO 13485, ensuring safety for prolonged dermal contact and short-term mucosal contact.

- Firm tissue models for surgical planning and assistance.
*Unlike Formlabs' dental resins, resins in the BioMed family do not have a single predefined clinical use. Final properties may vary depending on part design, manufacturing method, and post-processing. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer, customer, or end user to validate the biocompatibility and efficacy of printed parts for their specific application. For added assurance, Formlabs has verified biocompatibility and sterilisation compatibility for standard use cases, manufacturing these resins in ISO 13485-certified facilities.
