In orthotic and prosthetic interface verification, the Rigur rubber-like PolyJet 3D printing polymer combination—primary AGILUS30 FLX2040 and AGILUS30 BLACK FLX9840, secondary DIGITAL ABS PLUS IVORY—is deployed as a two-body soft-rigid assembly inside a single PolyJet build rather than as a homogeneous thermoplastic vulcanizate. The soft tissue-facing surface is jetted at 100% AGILUS30 FLX2040 to produce Shore A 30 durometer behaviour under ASTM D2240-15, while the brim, distal coupling boss, and hatband reinforcement shell are jetted at 100% DIGITAL ABS PLUS IVORY to provide the Shore D 79–80 load path that resists distal adapter fretting. The addition ratio is therefore a voxel-level assignment rather than a batch mixing ratio; no manual compounding step is performed. The rigid fraction enters only where CAD solid bodies are assigned to Digital ABS Plus in GrabCAD Print, and the soft-rigid interface is defined by the tessellation boundary between the two regions. Industry compliance for diagnostic check sockets and alignment trial shells sold as medical devices falls under Regulation (EU) 2017/745, with quality system controls under ISO 13485:2016. For fit-check fixtures and internal clinic tooling that never contact the patient, the applicable quality benchmark remains ISO 9001:2015. Cytotoxicity data under ISO 10993-5:2009 is not implied by the material designation; if the part contacts intact skin repeatedly, a lot-specific biological evaluation report for AGILUS30 FLX2040 must be requested before clinical placement. The downstream production process starts with optical scanning or plaster-cast digitisation of the residual limb, proceeds to check-socket CAD with distal trimline and adapter boss boolean geometry, and is printed on a Stratasys J-series system using the resin combination in separate material channels. Support removal by water jetting below the resin-specific pressure threshold is followed by 24 h of stabilisation at 23 °C and 50% relative humidity before dimensional inspection. Terminal product types in this scenario include diagnostic check sockets, static alignment trial shells, trimline goniometric fixtures, and distal load-transfer test lugs for orthotic and prosthetic clinical workflow validation.
| Material | Nominal durometer | Test method |
|---|---|---|
| AGILUS30 FLX2040 / FLX9840 | Shore A 30 | ASTM D2240-15 |

The governing process conflict for automotive interior gasket prototypes is the interfacial stress between the 100% AGILUS30 sealing lip and the 100% DIGITAL ABS PLUS IVORY retention bead when the two are jetted as adjacent voxel populations in the same 27 µm layer pass. The addition ratio for the flexible sealing region remains 100% Agilus30, while the rigid bead is 100% Digital ABS Plus; where a truncated Shore A 40 or A 60 transition is required, the printer’s prequalified digital blend table controls the fraction of Digital ABS Plus introduced into the Agilus30 matrix, and the ratio is not editable as a free-form weight-percent parameter in GrabCAD Print. Automotive interior compliance for such prototypes is evaluated under FMVSS 302 / ISO 3795 flammability for occupant compartment materials, with a burn-rate limit typically not exceeding 100 mm/min for horizontal test coupons. Material documentation should also be checked against EU REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 SVHC Candidate List and EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU Annex II restricted substance limits, especially for cadmium at 0.01 wt% and lead at 0.1 wt% in homogeneous material. The downstream production process for low-volume functional validation uses a Stratasys J850 Prime or equivalent multi-model PolyJet system, with the sealing lip oriented parallel to the build tray and the Digital ABS Plus retention rib constrained to a minimum wall of 1.5 mm. Support removal by water jetting is run below the resin-specific pressure threshold; thin Agilus30 membranes below 1.0 mm are masked or stiffened by the rigid frame prior to jet cleaning because direct jet impingement on unsupported soft edges is a known failure initiation mode. After drying to constant mass at 23 °C and 50% RH, the prototype is subjected to cyclic compression set testing under ASTM D395-18 Method B when the application requires a seal with less than 35% compression set after 22 h at 70 °C. Terminal product types in this scenario include HVAC door seal prototypes, cowl-to-dash isolator strips, wire harness pass-through grommets, and instrument panel gap-cover gaskets for automotive interior system tier-one validation.
Consumer wearable strap and facial interface development uses the combination of AGILUS30 BLACK FLX9840 and DIGITAL ABS PLUS IVORY primarily to replace multi-step overmoulding during short-run ergonomic trials. The addition ratio is set as 100% Agilus30 Black in the skin-facing cushion cells and 100% Digital ABS Plus Ivory in the strap pin bosses, snap-fit retainers, and battery door stiffeners; a Shore A 50 blended transition layer is added only when the cushion wall thickness falls below 2.0 mm and the CAD model requires a continuous stiffness gradient to avoid lens misalignment during head movement. Compliance for these non-medical consumer prototypes is limited to REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 SVHC disclosure and RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU Annex II restricted substance thresholds: lead 0.1 wt%, cadmium 0.01 wt%, mercury 0.1 wt%, and hexavalent chromium 0.1 wt%. If the wearable is intended for children, the design owner must separately verify phthalate and heavy-metal limits under CPSC 16 CFR 1303 and the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act. The Agilus30 surface is not a long-term skin-contact medical material; trials should be limited to short-term wear and cleaning between subjects. The downstream production process uses a Stratasys J-series PolyJet printer loaded with the black Agilus30 material and the Ivory rigid material, printing multicellular cushion structures with a wall thickness of 1.5 mm to 2.0 mm and support material in the void cells. Water-jet support removal is conducted at the lowest practical pressure to avoid cell-wall rupture, followed by low-temperature air drying to constant mass before Shore A measurement. Terminal product types include augmented reality headset facial gaskets, wrist-worn monitor strap prototypes, chest-mounted biosensor harness clips, and earbud stability fin test pieces intended for short-term fit trials rather than production skin-contact certification.
Handheld analytical instrument grips that combine a soft overmolded handle with a rigid housing are produced with the same two-body PolyJet logic, but the technical emphasis shifts to dimensional registration of the overmold boundary. The addition ratio for the elastomeric grip is 100% AGILUS30 BLACK FLX9840, while the instrument housing and battery compartment are assigned 100% DIGITAL ABS PLUS IVORY; the blend ratio is not used across the main interface because grip thickness below 2.0 mm becomes too soft for a reliable hand grip if any Agilus30 fraction is replaced by rigid inclusions. Compliance for these portable instruments is governed by IEC 61010-1:2010/AMD1:2017 for electrical safety of measurement, control, and laboratory equipment, with additional obligations under EU RoHS 2011/65/EU and REACH 1907/2006. Drop-test validation is commonly conducted under MIL-STD 810H Method 516.8 at 1.0 m onto concrete, although the printed Digital ABS Plus housing does not inherently inherit production-grade impact performance without a post-print stress-relief protocol; published data for this specific configuration is limited. The downstream production process uses a Stratasys J850 Prime in high-quality mode, with printed layer height set to 18 µm or the system’s certified fine mode, to maintain the overmold parting line within ±0.1 mm of nominal. After printing, support removal by water jetting is followed by light abrasive cleaning of the Digital ABS Plus regions and a 24 h stabilisation period before grip thickness is measured by coordinate measuring machine. Terminal product types include portable X-ray fluorescence analyser grips, handheld Raman spectrometer housings, industrial borescope bodies, and ultrasonic thickness gauge handles where a defined soft contact zone improves operator safety and positional control.
For non-patient-contact surgical rehearsal models, the combination of AGILUS30 FLX2040 and DIGITAL ABS PLUS IVORY provides a tight-tolerance method for representing soft vascular and parenchymal tissues alongside rigid bony landmarks inside one printed part. The addition ratio is geometric rather than material-blend driven: vessels, ducts, and soft-tissue regions are assigned 100% AGILUS30 FLX2040, while cortical bone, cartilage guide surfaces, and registration features are assigned 100% DIGITAL ABS PLUS IVORY. A Shore A 40 or A 60 blended transition is used only where a surgeon must rehearse the tactile distinction between a ligament and an osseous insertion, and that blend ratio is selected from the printer’s prequalified material table rather than manually formulated. Compliance for these models is based on quality management rather than biological safety: ISO 13485:2016 applies to the service bureau if the model is supplied as a custom device for surgical planning, but ISO 10993-5:2009 cytotoxicity testing is not required because the devices are not patient-contacting and are not intended for implantation. Terminal product types include cardiovascular surgical rehearsal models, craniofacial osteotomy planning models, tumor resection planning phantoms, and orthopedic fracture reduction trainers in which the Ivory rigid regions reproduce the feel of cortical drilling under low-speed reamers. The downstream production process begins with DICOM segmentation using thresholding and Boolean subtraction to separate bone from soft tissue, followed by STL repair with minimum wall thickness checks at 1.0 mm for Agilus30 and 1.5 mm for Digital ABS Plus. Printing is performed on a Stratasys J-series system with the model oriented to keep delicate vascular structures on the upper tray and rigid Ivory support brackets on the lower tray. Support removal uses water jetting at reduced pressure for any Agilus30 vessel diameter below 2.0 mm, followed by forced-air drying and visual inspection for residual support pigment. The resulting models are delivered as non-sterile training articles; autoclave and ethylene oxide compatibility for AGILUS30 FLX2040 is not assumed, and any operating-room use is outside the stated material boundary.
Robotic vacuum gripper assemblies that require a soft cup joined to a rigid adapter are produced as a single PolyJet part in which the cup skirt is 100% AGILUS30 FLX2040 and the robot-side adapter flange is 100% DIGITAL ABS PLUS IVORY. The addition ratio for the transition root, if modelled, is a Shore A 60 blended pre-set in the J850 Prime material database, not a hand-compounded ratio; it is activated only when the bellows convolution depth exceeds 8 mm or the root radius drops below 1.5 mm, because the sharp stiffness step between Shore A 30 and Shore D 79–80 otherwise concentrates tensile strain at the first convolution root. Industry compliance for pick-and-place robot end effectors is anchored to ISO 10218-1:2011 and ISO 10218-2:2011 for robot and robot integration safety, with material documentation under REACH 1907/2006 and RoHS 2011/65/EU where customer equipment is placed in the EU market. The downstream production process uses a Stratasys J-series PolyJet system with support material in the internal vacuum path; after printing, water-jet support removal is followed by compressed-air blowout of the internal channel and a low-pressure leak test at the application-specific negative pressure, commonly between -20 kPa and -80 kPa for packaging end-of-arm tools. Terminal product types include packaging pick-and-place vacuum cups, logistics robot end-effector bellows, laboratory vial handling adapters, and mobile robot de-palletising suction pads intended for short-run pilot cells and packaging line feasibility trials. Because the Agilus30 cup is not a production moulded silicone or nitrile rubber, cyclic durability must be validated under ASTM D624-00 tear resistance and the customer’s own fatigue test methodology before the printed part is substituted into a live production cell; published data for this specific configuration is limited.

The product designated as Stratasys Rigur Rubber-Like PolyJet 3D Printing Polymer Combination: Primary: AGILUS30 (FLX2040) / AGILUS30 BLACK (FLX9840); Secondary: DIGITAL ABS PLUS IVORY is a PolyJet digital material configuration in which a low-durometer elastomer and a rigid ivory photopolymer are deposited and UV-cured in a controlled voxel arrangement. The primary resin code FLX2040 identifies clear AGILUS30, while FLX9840 identifies black AGILUS30. AGILUS30 is a rubber-like photopolymer with a published durometer range of 30–35 Shore A; the secondary Digital ABS Plus ivory resin is a rigid engineering-grade material with a published durometer range of 85–87 Shore D. The two feedstocks are not precompounded in a cartridge. They are jetted independently, combined during layer formation, and crosslinked into an interpenetrating acrylate network. The practical result is that the combination can be assigned as a soft shell, an elastomeric internal fill, or a graded transition between a rigid Digital ABS Plus mounting feature and an AGILUS30 flexure within the same build.
Machine compatibility is managed through the current GrabCAD Print digital material library. The combination is typically used on PolyJet systems capable of multi-material jetting, where the printer maintains separate heated reservoirs for the soft and rigid resins. Because the rigid secondary is ivory, the final part loses the transparency of clear AGILUS30 at higher ivory fractions; black AGILUS30 produces an opaque rubber-like black region. The ivory secondary also modifies dimensional stability under load. This configuration is applied most often to functional parts that require recoverable deformation combined with better tear resistance and lower creep than AGILUS30 alone can provide.

| Tensile strength | ASTM D638-14 | 2.4–3.0 MPa | 55–60 MPa |
| Elongation at break | ASTM D638-14 | 220–280% | 25–40% |
| Flexural strength | ASTM D790-17 | Not typically published for this elastomer grade | 65–75 MPa |

Single-number property data for the combined Rigur material are less consolidated than data for the individual feedstocks. The final Shore A hardness, tensile strength, elongation, and compression set are ratio-dependent because the digital material library can assign different soft-to-rigid distributions under the same trade name. Users should obtain the recipe-specific datasheet from GrabCAD Print before locking an engineering tolerance. The base-resin data above define the outer envelope: AGILUS30 controls elastic recovery and extension, while Digital ABS Plus contributes higher stiffness, tear-path interruption, and improved resistance to localized plastic flow.
At the molecular level, the AGILUS30 phase is a soft acrylate network with low crosslink density and a glass transition below ambient service temperature. The Digital ABS Plus phase is a more heavily crosslinked, higher-glass-transition network. When the two are combined at the voxel level, the high-glass-transition phase forms mechanically reinforcing domains within the soft matrix. Under tensile loading, those domains increase the initial modulus and provide stress redistribution. At high strain, the continuous AGILUS30 phase remains the primary extension medium, so elongation at break falls below the value for unreinforced AGILUS30. This trade-off is inherent in the material architecture and is not a defect of the printing process.
Tear resistance is a primary reason for specifying the combination instead of neat AGILUS30. A tear path propagating through a homogeneous soft acrylate network follows the lowest-energy route along the local stress field. In the mixed structure, the advancing tear must either pass through or circumvent the harder Digital ABS Plus domains. This increases the energy required for crack growth, particularly in notched geometries such as latch arms, snap-fit finger tabs, and bellows convolutions. Tear screening is commonly performed under ASTM D624-00(2012) with a Die C specimen, but published tear values for the ratio-specific Rigur configuration are not uniformly available in public literature and should be confirmed from the current supplier datasheet.
Compression set and creep are also changed. Unreinforced AGILUS30 can accumulate permanent set when compressed for extended periods, especially at elevated ambient temperature. The rigid Digital ABS Plus regions act as physical reinforcement and reduce chain slippage in the soft phase. Qualification of a gasket or seal should use ASTM D395-18 Method B with controlled deflection and recovery measurement. Published compression-set values for this specific combination are limited, and design margins should not be based solely on the neat AGILUS30 grade. The combination also moves the service envelope away from very low-durometer applications: it is a stiffer intermediate rubber-like material, not a replacement for the softest PolyJet elastomers where maximum conformability is required.
The black primary resin FLX9840 is not merely a color variant. The carbon-black dispersion alters UV absorption characteristics and can reduce cure depth relative to clear FLX2040. In high-speed modes, black elastomer regions may require adjusted support density or lower overhang angles to prevent edge curl. Field operation of PolyJet equipment also shows that older cartridges near expiration can exhibit more frequent missing-jet events in black elastomer feeds than in clear feeds, particularly when the machine is operated in high-throughput mode with shortened nozzle purge cycles.
Layer-wise UV curing introduces anisotropy in the printed network. Each layer receives a different UV dose across its thickness: the upper surface receives direct exposure, while the lower boundary receives attenuated energy through the previously printed layer. This produces a crosslink-density gradient and a weaker interlayer region. A specimen printed flat in the XY plane therefore gives different ASTM D638-14 results from a specimen printed vertically in the Z direction. In the Rigur combination, the difference is more noticeable when the part contains abrupt transitions between soft and rigid phases. A hard Digital ABS Plus flange attached to an AGILUS30 flexure can develop a visible band of incomplete cure at the transition if the carriage speed is increased without corresponding adjustment of lamp energy.
Production-scale failures observed on assembly fixtures demonstrate that living hinges printed vertically tend to crack along the layer boundary sooner than hinges printed with the hinge axis in the XY plane. The failure mode is typically interlayer separation at the root of the hinge, not tensile fracture of the elastomer itself. For this reason, functional parts subjected to cyclic bending should be oriented so that the principal tensile strain is carried within a layer rather than across layers. Published cycle-life data for this specific combination is limited, so orientation changes should be validated with a physical flex-fatigue trial before release.
Support removal is another operational boundary. AGILUS30-rich surfaces are comparatively soft, and aggressive water jetting can erode or pucker the surface. A fan nozzle at lower pressure is preferred to a concentrated high-pressure jet. Narrow concave geometries such as seal-retention grooves retain support residue more readily than large open faces. Residual support material left in a flexing zone acts as a brittle inclusion and can initiate tearing because the support resin does not share the elongation of the elastomer. A secondary brush or soluble-support dissolution step is often required for parts with multiple internal channels or deep undercuts. The support type and removal protocol should be selected from the current PolyJet support compatibility table for the specific feedstock combination.
Storage conditions affect jetting stability. The liquid photopolymers are not hygroscopic in the same manner as thermoplastic filaments, but condensation introduced by opening cartridges in high-humidity environments can cause intermittent jetting faults. PolyJet installation guidelines typically specify an ambient range of 18–25 °C and 30–70% relative humidity. Below 30% relative humidity, static charge on the carriage can attract fine dust to the jetted surface and create surface defects. Above 70% relative humidity, moisture can condense on uncured resin surfaces during long build interruptions. These are equipment-level constraints, not intrinsic storage limits for the resin chemistry. Batch-to-batch variation is controlled by cartridge expiration dating and the supplier’s incoming quality checks, but users should still record cartridge lot numbers for traceability when producing functional service parts.
The Rigur combination differs from AGILUS30 alone primarily in hardness, modulus, and creep resistance. AGILUS30 remains the preferred choice for very low-durometer gaskets, soft-touch pads, and applications requiring maximum elongation. The Rigur combination is selected where the part must retain its original section height after compressive loading, or where a snap-fit feature must resist permanent deformation after repeated mating cycles. The penalty is reduced ultimate elongation and an increased tendency to concentrate bending stress at sharp corners.
The combination also differs from Digital ABS Plus alone. Digital ABS Plus is a rigid digital material with 85–87 Shore D hardness, high tensile strength, and measurable heat deflection under load. It is used for housings, fixtures, and structural prototypes. The Rigur combination does not retain that structural performance. Its continuous soft phase limits high-temperature load-bearing capacity, and it should not be specified for rigid load-bearing housings. It is instead used for the flexible regions of an assembly, such as the finger tab of a latch or the bellows of an air duct, while Digital ABS Plus can form the rigid mounting boss in the same build. This eliminates adhesive bonding and mechanical fastening at the hard-soft interface.
Compared with injection-molded thermoplastic elastomers, the PolyJet combination is a thermoset. It will not melt, cannot be reworked by thermal forming, and cannot be solvent-welded or flame-polished. Cut surfaces remain cut surfaces. Chemical exposure should be assessed case by case. Prolonged contact with ketones, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and ester plasticizers can swell and soften the acrylate network. Strongly alkaline solutions, including hot sodium hydroxide used in some support removal processes, can hydrolyze ester linkages in the polymer backbone. Contact with amine-based curing agents should be avoided because residual acrylic unsaturation can react at the surface and produce haze or tackiness. For outdoor use, UV exposure will cause yellowing and embrittlement of the ivory phase unless a suitable protective coating is applied.
The material is also used to prototype two-shot injection molded products by printing the rigid substrate and the elastomeric overmold as one digital assembly. Fit, retention, and tactile response can be evaluated before cutting injection tooling. Dimensional capability depends on geometry, support strategy, and build mode; well-supported rigid sections can be held to typical PolyJet machine accuracy, while thin elastomer walls below 1.0 mm may distort during support removal. For gasket or seal service, the user should test recovery after compression using ASTM D395-18, tear resistance under ASTM D624-00(2012), and tensile response under ASTM D638-14. Compliance declarations, including RoHS 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation EC No 1907/2006, should be requested for the specific cartridge lot rather than inferred from the product trade name. Food-contact and medical device status must not be assumed; a manufacturer’s current compliance statement is required before use in those regulatory environments.
