Properties of the Standard condition, compared with the other Agilus grades.
Default rubber-like Agilus30 (FLX935/FLX985) printed neat, for soft-touch prototypes and flexible seals.
What is Agilus Standard?
Agilus Standard is Agilus in the Standard grade — default rubber-like Agilus30 (FLX935/FLX985) printed neat, for soft-touch prototypes and flexible seals. Agilus Standard has a tensile strength of 3 MPa (0.406 ksi), weaker than 83% of polymer grades. Elongation at break is 245% and the elastic modulus is 0 GPa (2.18×10⁻⁴ Msi). Agilus Standard has a density of 1.15 g/cm³ (0.0414 lb/in³), lighter than 59% of polymer grades.
Advantages
- Ductile — tolerates forming and impact — 245%, better than 77% of polymer grades
Limitations
- Difficult to machine — 12/100, worse than 100% of polymer grades
- Low stiffness — 0 GPa (2.18×10⁻⁴ Msi), worse than 97% of polymer grades
- Limited service temperature — 50°C (122 °F), worse than 94% of polymer grades
- Absorbs moisture — dry before molding — 1.5%, worse than 92% of polymer grades
- Hard to polish — 25/100, worse than 90% of polymer grades

Physical2
Agilus Standard has a density of 1.15 g/cm³ (0.0414 lb/in³), lighter than 59% of polymer grades.
Mechanical7
Agilus Standard has a tensile strength of 3 MPa (0.406 ksi), weaker than 83% of polymer grades. Elongation at break is 245% and the elastic modulus is 0 GPa (2.18×10⁻⁴ Msi).
Thermal6
Agilus Standard is rated for continuous service to 50°C (122 °F). It conducts heat at 0.2 W/m·K (0.116 BTU/hr·ft·°F), worse than 56% 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 Standard 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 Standard's machinability is not recommended (12/100, worse than 100% of polymer grades).

Working with Agilus Standard
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.
| Element | Spec limit (wt %) | Nominal |
|---|---|---|
| urethane acrylate oligomerelastomeric backbone (SDS range) | 30 – 60 | 45 |
| acrylic monomers / acrylate estersreactive diluents, control Shore hardness | 20 – 45 | 35 |
| polyether/acrylic oligomer blendtoughening / flexibilising fraction | 5 – 20 | 12 |
| photoinitiatorUV cure package | 0.1 – 3 | 1.5 |
| pigment / stabilisercolour variants only | 0 – 2 | 0.5 |
Agilus Standard — frequently asked
What is Agilus Standard used for?
Agilus Standard 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 Standard?
Agilus Standard has a typical tensile strength of 3 MPa (0.406 ksi) — weaker than 83% of polymer grades. Strength varies by condition: see the 11 listed tempers.
Is Agilus Standard 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 Standard 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 Standard?
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.
Can Agilus Standard 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 Standard?
Agilus Standard 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.
