Flexa Soft Flexible Powder (2kg)

Flexa Soft Flexible Powder (2kg)
At Formnext 2018, Sinterit showcased Flexa Soft, the softest TPU powder designed specifically for SLS 3D printers. This material boasts the lowest hardness (measured in Shore A) and an unprecedented range of applications.
Additive manufacturing is often used to produce rigid objects, and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology typically uses PA powder (polyamide) to create fine and high-quality finished products.

This TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) material offers excellent softness with a Shore A hardness of 40-55. Flexa Soft's applications span various fields, including fashion and medicine; it almost perfectly meets the needs when soft materials are required.

. For Experimental Surgery
In recent years, with the increasing advancement of medical imaging technology, 3D printing has also become a focal point for medical research, academics, and related industries. For some surgeons, using 3D printed models to simulate procedures before surgery has become a common practice: selecting appropriate surgical instruments, planning surgical paths, and even conducting actual cutting tests.

For healthcare professionals, this material perfectly simulates the hardness of some tissues. Products made from this powder are not only excellent to the touch but also highly elastic, capable of mimicking the shape of tissue after compression and returning to their original form after release.
. A New Direction for Fashion
For the fashion industry, this is a game-changing material. We have previously shared how fashion designers used another soft material from Sinterit, Flexa Black, to create decorative accessories for swimwear (see: Becoming Miss South Africa with 3D Printed Fashion).
Now, Flexa Soft has even broader applications because it can conform more closely to the wearer's body, virtually unrestricted by curved surfaces.

. Developing New Materials
In summary, the ultra-soft powder Flexa Soft possesses the following five key characteristics:
. Ultra-flexible powder material, more elastic than Flexa Black
. Quantifiable softness, Shore A 40-55
. Mimics some human organs for surgical experimentation
. A new fashion option, conforms to the body
. Suitable for general prototypes, rubber gaskets, and other flexible applications
"Our users are eager to try new powders and continuously demand the development of new materials, which will expand the manufacturing potential of Sinterit Lisa printers," said Konrad Glowacki, co-founder of Sinterit. "We are happy to receive this feedback because we know there is even more potential for SLS rapid prototyping," he added.

Flexa Soft offers superior elasticity and is an ideal material for general prototypes, gaskets, or sensory toys. Purchase this new ultra-soft 3D printing material now to explore more application possibilities!
