The flexural modulus is a measure used to define the flexibility of a material. A material with a very low flexural modulus needs limited force to bend a part for an X amount of mm. Imagine that you have one material with a flexural modulus of 2000 MPa. Another material has a flexural modulus of 1000 MPa. In practice, this means one would need twice as much force to apply an equal deformation when trying to bend the 2000 MPa material, in comparison to the 1000 MPa material.
