快速制造服务提供商3DILIGENT推出了硅胶的3D打印到其能力。位于加利福尼亚州El Segundo的总部位于加利福尼亚州，该公司现在正在接受硅胶的引用请求，希望创新的设计师能够利用该服务。
3D印刷的硅胶的可能应用范围从电子设备到人工器官，使服务成为多个行业的资产。
Meeting the demands of designers
Silicone possesses many advantages over other materials, including high tensile strength, elasticity and electrical conductivity (at high temperatures). Traditionally, silicone has been manufactured through traditional means, making complex geometries and shapes challenging.
Cullen Hilkene., CEO of 3Diligent, described the ability to 3D print silicone as “an exciting innovation.” He added that 3Diligent strives “to meet the 3D Printing needs of all designers and [was] pleased to expand our range of elastomeric materials with silicone.”
无障碍服务局
To make the process of obtaining a 3D printed silicone part easier, 3Diligent provides a portal for designers to upload CAD files and submit requests for quotes.
Once the CAD file is uploaded, 3Diligent will identify the optimal silicone fabrication solution, and complete the order (including slicing, printing and post production) upon the quote’s acceptance.
硅胶反弹
3D printed silicone has recently been seen in several medical applications. The University of Florida is in the process of developing3D printed liquid silicone提供具有成本效益的医疗植入物。Eth苏黎世也生产了first ever fully 3D printed functional heartout of silicone.
今年早些时候，加利福尼亚州劳伦斯·伊尔默尔国家实验室提出了专利3D印刷硅胶微球这展示了形状存储器，并且可以用于安全应用中的形状配合垫。
