What is Agilus A95?
Agilus A95 is Agilus heat treated to A95 — hardest rubber-like blend, close to rigid; use for tough impact-absorbing housings. Agilus A95 has a tensile strength of 21 MPa (3.05 ksi), weaker than 70% of polymer grades. Elongation at break is 40% and the elastic modulus is 0.35 GPa (0.0508 Msi). Agilus A95 has a density of 1.15 g/cm³ (0.0414 lb/in³), lighter than 59% of polymer grades.
Limitations
- Limited service temperature — 50°C (122 °F), worse than 94% of polymer grades
- Absorbs moisture — dry before molding — 1.5%, worse than 91% of polymer grades
- Hard to polish — 25/100, worse than 90% of polymer grades
- Degrades in UV without stabilisers — 20/100, worse than 88% of polymer grades
- Difficult to machine — 30/100, worse than 87% of polymer grades

Thermal6
Agilus A95 is rated for continuous service to 50°C (122 °F). It conducts heat at 0.22 W/m·K (0.127 BTU/hr·ft·°F), better than 60% of polymer grades. Thermal expansion is 200 µm/m·K (111.1 µin/in·°F).
Chemical & Environmental2
UV resistance is poor.
Sustainability3
Producing a kilogram of Agilus A95 takes about 120 MJ of energy and emits 6 kg of CO₂ — more than 73% of polymer grades. Typical recycled content is 0%.
Manufacturability2
Agilus A95's machinability is poor (30/100, worse than 87% of polymer grades).

Working with Agilus A95
Is Agilus easy to machine?
Essentially non-machinable — the A30 stock tears and smears; trim only with sharp blades, water-jet or cryo-hold fixtures.
Can Agilus be welded?
Not weldable; join by co-printing with Vero rigid resin, cyanoacrylate/UV-cure adhesive or mechanical capture.
Can Agilus be formed, bent or molded?
Formed only by PolyJet jetting and UV cure; use glossy mode plus generous support removal soak (waterjet/NaOH) since soft geometry deforms under high-pressure cleaning.
What surface finishes work on Agilus?
No paint or plating adhesion to speak of; finish by choosing glossy print orientation, light IPA wipe (short exposure only) and talc dusting to reduce tack.
Agilus chemical composition (wt %)
Limits by weight percent from the governing specification, written the way the spec states them — a single maximum for impurities, a range for alloying elements, and the base element as balance. Nominal is the typical mid-range value.

Agilus A95 — frequently asked
What is Agilus A95 used for?
Agilus A95 is typically used for overmould and soft-grip prototypes, gasket and seal mock-ups, rubber-like handles and buttons, living hinges and flexible bellows, anatomical and medical training models and tubing and cable boot prototypes. In short: soft printable rubber resin.
What is the tensile strength of Agilus A95?
Agilus A95 has a typical tensile strength of 21 MPa (3.05 ksi) — weaker than 70% of polymer grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 7 listed tempers.
Is Agilus A95 easy to machine?
Not especially — machinability is rated poor (30/100, worse than 87% of polymer grades). Essentially non-machinable — the A30 stock tears and smears; trim only with sharp blades, water-jet or cryo-hold fixtures.
Can Agilus A95 be welded?
Not weldable; join by co-printing with Vero rigid resin, cyanoacrylate/UV-cure adhesive or mechanical capture.
What surface finishes work on Agilus A95?

Can Agilus A95 be formed, bent or molded?
Formed only by PolyJet jetting and UV cure; use glossy mode plus generous support removal soak (waterjet/NaOH) since soft geometry deforms under high-pressure cleaning.
What is the maximum service temperature of Agilus A95?
Agilus A95 is rated for continuous use to about 50°C (122 °F). Strength falls off well before that limit — check the elevated-temperature data for load-bearing parts.
