Soft Elastic 30A

Makelab’s Top Pick Winner - Elastomers

TEPU 30A - Soft Elastic is the softest elastic in Makelab’s elastomer family. The material is fantastic for printing gaskets and seals. Due to the VCJ technology and large build plates, this material is a great option for large models that need high flexibility. TEPU 30A - Soft Elastic prints beautifully and has zero messy support clean-up, this is why it’s our Top Pick Winner in the Elastomer family.

PROS OF

Soft Elastic 30A

When it is a perfect material choice
Softest elastic material offered at Makelab
Print small slots, holes and cavities with high accuracy and precision
Prints without supports which makes this material great for small cavities or hard to reach places
Compatible with skin contact applications
Larger build plates than flexible and elastic resin materials
Ability to print tough and elastic materials in one build plate - eliminate the need for assembling

CONS OF

Soft Elastic 30A

When to seek other material options
Longer than usual lead times compared to some of our other materials
Low tear strength compared to flexible and elastic resin. Small, thin parts can tear easily.
No custom color options available
Low tensile strength
