Can you print flexible materials?

Last updated: 2026-04-09

Yes — Makelab offers flexible materials suitable for certain applications.

While rigid plastics like nylon and resin are most common, flexible materials can be used for parts requiring bend, compression, or cushioning properties. These materials are less dimensionally rigid, so designs may need adjustments for tolerance and performance.
