3d Print Rubber Parts

Our simulated rubber 3d printing service is intended where your designs require materials with rubber like or specific tactile properties.

3d print rubber parts. Elastomers for 3d printing. However the physical properties are poor. There are different ways to obtain rubber parts utilizing your 3d printer. Create the spare part yourself.

Fdm rubber like materials fdm is the most widely available 3d printing process mainly used for low cost prototyping and design verification with very fast turn around times. Designing and 3d printing mold boxes allows you to. 3d printing in simulated rubber. Please remember lead times for your part may increase when ordering any of the rubber type materials we offer also 3d printing using rubber as a material does cost slightly more than the rigid type.

This process blends flexible and rigid. Working with over a million customers since 2007 get 3d products and parts delivered to over 100 countries. 3d printed rubber parts can be used in place of molded rubber for just about any application. Some 3d printers like objet can print rubber like materials.

Like other methods of 3d printing rubber prints accurately produce complex internal geometries like lattices and tubes at no extra cost easily achieving designs that would be impossible with other types of manufacturing. Materials with shore hardness below 70a that produce parts with a rubber like feel. Print in pour holes and vents easily calculate the volume of our mold create boxes that perfectly fit the parts you plan to create a mold of re use mold boxes to create multiple molds. Polyjet 3d printing uses a special type of sprayable liquid photopolymer with a hardness that can be tweaked on the fly and in the same build making it a great choice for prototyping parts that will at some point be overmolded a soft grippable handle for a power tool for example or a weatherproof gasketed cover for a scientific instrument housing.

An alternative way to use 3d printing to create elastic parts would be to fabricate a mold out of ordinary pla or similar in which to cast silicone or rubber parts. Another way is to 3d print a mold and then compress rubber like sugru into the mold. As designers continue to grapple with the possibility of 3d printing rubber we tell you whether it is achievable or not and go into detail discussing alternative rubber like 3d printing materials. Shapeways is the 1 3d printing service company.

3d printing in our rubber like materials using our fine detail service also gives you a range of shore a values using the polyjet digital materials technology.
