Login with my Xometry account Seeking soft material alternatives for rubber / 3D printing
A
Hi everyone,
I am searching for a substitute material for Rubber with a shore hardness of 50-55A suitable for testing purposes. What are the softest materials recommended for 3D printing in this context? Thanks
Unfortunately shore 50A is rare. There is shore 50 in SLA standard, but you cannot chose it, you need to choose custom and the material is Formlabs elastic 50A
