Working with Agilus Rubber-like
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 Rubber-like — frequently asked
What is Agilus Rubber-like used for?
Agilus Rubber-like 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 Rubber-like?
Agilus Rubber-like has a typical tensile strength of 3 MPa (0.406 ksi) — weaker than 83% of polymer grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 7 listed tempers.
Is Agilus Rubber-like easy to machine?
Not especially — machinability is rated not recommended (12/100, worse than 100% 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 Rubber-like 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 Rubber-like?
