Product Description

Eastman Amphora™ Flex 3D polymer FL6000, a flexible material uniquely engineered for
extrusion-based additive manufacturing processes. Amphora Flex FL6000 is a polymer that can
be used with standard 3D printers—e liminating the need to sw itch to specialized flex
extruders. Thanks to exceptional layer-to-layer adhesion and melt strength, it prints at a
faster speed than other elastomeric materials, saving you time. Amphora Flex FL6000 is an
engineering-grade material that demonstrates superior durability and toughness, enabling
designers to quickly create truly functional parts that can withstand the rigors of everyday
use. Amphora Flex FL6000 is highly useful for applications that demand both the durability of
an engineering-grade polymer and the comfort and utility of a flexible material. With a Shore A
hardne ss level of 95, outstanding chemical resistance, and a temperature resistance that
allows steam sterilization, users may find it to be the ideal polymer for additive manufacturing
of prosthetics, orthotics, automotive parts, apparel, tooling, or a variety of consumer products.
