Silicone 3d Printer Filament

12 colors pla filament 12 colors pla filament 10 feet for each color total 240 feet. The nozzle rapidly extrudes tiny droplets of silicone one by one onto the printing area forming a fine line. But thats limiting this versatile compound and your imagination to go along with it you can now 3d print with silicone as if it were any other type of printing filament.

Silicone is commonly used as a mold material into which other material is poured to make a 3d object.

Silicone 3d printer filament. Its much safer for kids when drawing their 3d pen. Go up or down three degrees until you reach your desired print quality. It comes with 6 random colors. The 3d pen mat is made of food grade silicone.

Silicone is an elastomer and unlike thermoplastics it cannot return to a liquid state after its been solidified. Create a mold box. When 3d printing with rubber like filaments hitting the goldilocks temperature of not too hot and not too cold is vital. At the moment silicone filaments and resins are not available for the market as most 3d printers for silicone have been developed by companies that are not machine manufacturers.

Coordinates to form the desired shape are sent by a computer. Choose a file to cast a mold aroundobtain a file that you would like to either make several of or create in a. The print area is then exposed to uv light causing the silicone to vulcanize. The technology took some time to develop because silicone has a very high viscosity making it difficult to 3d print in a precise manner.

On the other hand silicone filaments and resins that can be found online are not the real deal so be very careful. Currently we have a test rig and we are looking for circa 300k to develop the technology to a point where we can achieve sub 200 micron resolution with variable shore hardness a in a single build. Non toxic and odourless. The silicone 3d printing workspace is enclosed in a glass case.

Non toxic premium material eco friendly pla filament. As copenhagen says we are 3d printing silicone without support material no post processing and at a resolution of 400 microns. Start off within the recommended temperature for your rubber like filament. Silicone is a relatively new material in 3d printing though not due to a lack of demand as its mechanical properties are ideal for countless applications.
