3D Printed True Silicone
Process Details
Printer Type:
Shore A80 parts are printed in the US on DLP printers using Loctite 3D 5015 silicone resin (not 100% silicone).
For parts with dimensions exceeding the capabilities of our silicone printers, we propose silicone castings using 3D printed master patterns.
Visual Aspect:
Cast parts are also isotropic and smooth but can display mold parting line marks or trimmed flash.

Capabilities
Bounding Box:
Casting: max. mold dim. 29.5" x 25.5" x 21.5" (750 x 650 x 550 mm)

Materials
Product Range:
Loctite 3D 5015 is a Shore A80 resin with 1,210 psi tensile strength and 180% elongation at break.
For castings we use Smooth-On platinum-cured Mold Star and Ecoflex silicones from Shore 00-30 to A30. Other grades are possible.
Biocompatibility:
Smooth-On resins are usually certified skin-safe
