QTS Corporation brings over 30 years of chemical R&D expertise to the 3D printing materials industry. Our Flex 8A flexible resin series combines deep chemical knowledge with 3D printing experience, delivering the ultimate soft printing solution for creators worldwide.
The World's Softest 3D Printing Resin — Shore 8A Hardness, 700% Elongation, True Silicone-Like Feel
Shore 8A hardness delivers unmatched softness and elasticity, with a feel extremely close to real silicone products. Absorbs impact, provides cushioning, and offers gentle skin-friendly touch.
Bend, stretch, compress, and twist freely — it springs back without breaking or tearing. Exceptional toughness makes it ideal for parts that need to withstand repeated deformation.
70~100 cps ultra-low viscosity ensures high print success rates. Excellent flowability makes post-processing cleaning easier, reducing waste and failures.
Traditional silicone molding is expensive and design-limited. Flex 8A lets you directly print complex internal structures and irregular soft parts, realizing any creative vision.
From wearables and medical models to film props, Flex 8A's extreme softness makes it the ultimate material for soft prototype manufacturing across industries.
100% Taiwan R&D and manufacturing — from formulation design to production, all completed in Taiwan. Every batch meets strict quality standards with consistent performance.
Smart watch bands, earphone tips, VR/AR skin-contact padding. Shore 8A softness ensures comfortable long-term wear, perfectly replacing traditional silicone molding.
Soft organ models for surgical simulation, custom insoles, rehabilitation aids. Bio-similar feel and high elasticity make it ideal for medical model manufacturing.
Soft robotic grippers, custom anti-vibration pads, waterproof seals. 700% elongation ensures parts withstand repeated compression and stretching.
Prosthetics for special makeup, film props with special properties. Silicone-like feel and appearance lets SFX artists quickly create high-quality soft props.
Controller grips, game pad protective covers, toy soft parts. Impact-resistant, tear-resistant properties make toys safer and more durable.
Soft part validation in product development, ergonomic design testing. Fast printing replaces traditional silicone molding, significantly reducing development cycles and costs.

Flex 8A is an ultra-soft resin. Longer exposure times are recommended to ensure inter-layer adhesion. Post-curing is mandatory — complete UV post-curing is required to achieve optimal elasticity and dry surface properties. Insufficient post-curing will result in a tacky surface.

Gently shake the bottle before use to ensure the resin is thoroughly mixed
Set exposure parameters as recommended and start 3D printing
Wash with 95% IPA alcohol or dedicated cleaner for 2~3 minutes
Expose under 365~405nm UV light for 10~60 min (adjust by thickness) for dry surface
Post-curing complete — optimal elasticity and dry surface achieved

A: The key difference is the hardness level. Regular flexible resins are around Shore 30~80A, while Flex 8A is only Shore 8A — one of the softest photopolymer resins on the market. This extreme softness gives prints a feel truly close to silicone, not just "slightly flexible."
A: For small batches, complex structures, or rapid prototyping, Flex 8A is an excellent alternative to silicone molding. It eliminates expensive tooling costs and lets you directly print any shape of soft part. For large-scale production, traditional silicone molding still has its advantages.
A: Tacky surface is usually caused by insufficient post-curing. Ensure you use a 365~405nm UV light box and extend post-curing time based on model thickness (up to 60 minutes). After sufficient post-curing, the surface should be dry and non-tacky.
A: Very suitable! Shore 8A softness allows earphone tips to perfectly conform to ear canal shape for comfortable wear. However, for products in direct skin contact, ensure post-curing is complete and conduct skin sensitivity testing.
A: Flex 8A does not currently hold food contact or medical device certifications and is not recommended for direct food contact or implantable medical use. Use for medical models or educational models is acceptable with complete post-curing.
A: Thanks to its 70~100 cps ultra-low viscosity, Flex 8A has excellent flowability and higher print success rates than typical flexible resins. However, soft resins require extra care during release — use more support points and increase bottom layer exposure time.
A: Yes, it can be mixed with other QTS resins to adjust hardness. For example, mixing with QTS standard resin increases hardness for "semi-soft" parts. Conduct small-scale tests first to confirm mixing ratios and results.
A: Store in a cool, dry place at 15~35°C away from direct sunlight. Sealed storage can extend usable life. Generally recommended to use within 12 months of opening.
