TissueDB/Materials/Stratasys Agilus30
Stratasys Agilus30 is a flexible photopolymer in the Stratasys PolyJet material family designed for use on multi-material PolyJet printers such as the Stratasys J750.[1] The material is described by Stratasys as a rubber-like photopolymer that can be combined with rigid VeroFamily resins to produce parts with variable shore-hardness in a single object — capability that medical-simulation authors leverage to print anatomy whose stiffness varies regionally.[1] On TissueDB, Agilus30 is the final-production photopolymer for the Paediatric Airway Management Trainer (Carter), which prints a CT-derived paediatric tracheobronchial model in a single Agilus30 print at 14-micron layer resolution to reproduce age-appropriate cartilage stiffness and elasticity (Carter et al. 2020, Anaesthesia and Intensive Care).[2] Carter 2020 explicitly notes that Agilus30 was selected over earlier prototypes printed in Stratasys Vero and Tango photopolymers because Agilus30 produced "greater tissue fidelity" in the authors' assessment.[2] Quantitative shore-hardness, durometer, density, or distensibility values are not stated by Carter 2020 and are not published as public list values by Stratasys; this page therefore documents qualitative properties traced to the source(s) only. Cost: per-cartridge Agilus30 photopolymer pricing is set by Stratasys and is not published as a public list price.[1]
