3D Systems from South Carolina has launched a new rubber-like material for its desktop FabPro 1000 3D printer. The new material is called FabPro Elastic BLK and it is incredibly flexible and strong. Apparently, the new elastomer will be perfect for design verification as well as prototyping of silicone. Also ideal for other rubber-like parts such as seals, gaskets, grips and over-moulds.
The FabPro 1000 machine has been built to be ideal for engineering and jewellery applications since its expertise lies in low-volume, small-part prototyping and direct 3D production across a wide range of high-quality materials. In fact, it is a DLP (Digital Light Printing) SLA 3D printer already compatible with a long list of resins. As of today, the resins include tough engineering plastics, dental and castable materials.
Vyomesh Joshi, CEO of 3D Systems announced last year the importance of materials in creating a desktop printer designed for industry professionals for functional prototyping.
