Silicone 3D Printing
3D printed silicone comes in a variety of shore-A hardnesses and temperature ranges to fit your application
What is 3DP Silicone (60-65%)?
Thermolabile silicone prototypes can be produced with the Protolabs 3D silicone print. The material 3DP silicone is used, which is available in Shore A hardnesses 35 and 65. The printed parts have a very good elasticity and have a milky-white appearance.
Key Product Benefits
- High temperature and weather resistance
- Very thin-walled and elastic models possible
- Different hardnesses and bend thin parts without risk of tearing
