Each printing platform (SLS, SLA, FDM, etc..) has challenges and benefits in printing elastomers. We present DLP printing as a leading solution to additive manufacturing of flexible parts and products.
In the past, it has been nearly impossible to additively manufacture elastomeric materials with rubber and polyurethane-like performance. Fused filament fabrication and Selective laser sintering printing of elastomeric thermoplastics result in properties and parts that are suited for prototyping not end use performance. DLP™ and stereolithography printing typically require viscous materials that have low elasticity, poor tear strength and little strain capacity. FDM printing has Z-axis issues and is limited in production speed by the number of print heads.
This webinar will present DLP printing and Adaptive3D’s Elastic ToughRubber products as a leading solution to the challenges of functional material performance, limited part sizes, high cost of production and low throughput speeds. We will introduce Adaptive3D’s new Shore A elastomeric photopolymer Elastic ToughRubber 70™ and present a case study of how it is already used in consumer products.
