While it’s the ideal choice for mass production, injection molding is simply no good for prototyping. The molds are expensive and time-consuming make, so unless you’ve got the funding to burn tens of ...

A new 3D-printing technique using silicone can make accurate models of the blood vessels in your brain, enabling neurosurgeons to train with more realistic simulations before they operate, according ...

An award-winning additive manufacturing company, Spectroplast AG, has revolutionized the industrial market of 3D-printed products by developing the world's first high-precision silicone 3D printing ...

Controlled light masking and tuned platinum catalysts make it possible to volumetrically 3D print silicone devices with open channels, eliminating molds and reducing fabrication time to minutes.

Building on the success of its Aceo Open Print Lab in Burghausen, Germany, Wacker Chemie AG has brought its 3D silicone printing technology to the U.S. The German firm opened its Aceo Open Print Lab ...

Researchers at Livermore National Laboratory have developed a silicone-based “ink” that can be used in 3D printers to make cushions and pads. The energy-absorbing parts can have different levels of ...

Advanced 3D printing and manufacturing techniques that can produce soft machines could save a lot of lives in the future. They could be used to make not just soft robots for search and rescue, but ...
