Quick Summary
Additional Context
Netherlands-based independent 3D printing resin manufacturer Liqcreate has launched Bio-Med Flex, a clear flexible photopolymer resin designed for sterilizable, biocompatible medical and biomedical applications.
This matters because being able to meet this set of requirements in clinical prototyping labs has been quite difficult. Rigid biocompatible resins have been available long enough to become routine in dental and surgical guide workflows, but they handle none of those use cases.
Flexible anatomical models, wearable sensor housings, soft fixtures that deform under load without cracking are some of the examples which reveal a gap that rigid resins cannot fill and that industrial elastomers can only fill expensively, slowly, and usually not in-house.
