Additive manufacturing (3D printing) makes sense when a product creates value for a customer/user from one or all of the following attributes:• 3D prototype to injection-molding
manufacturing• Highly/mass-customized
(low-volume/small-batch) manufacturing• Highly complicated or
customized design
WHY IS 3DP INTERESTING FOR MANUFACTURING?
6
No tooling investment required Reduced time to market On-demand production of parts Part customization with no
manufacturing penalty Having fewer design constraints allows
for complex geometries

WHY SILICONE?
Strong interest in printing with “final part” or functional materials
Silicones have established value in applications/markets that are actively experimenting with 3DP(for final parts and prototyping)
Mechanical properties of printed samples in good agreement with conventional processing

First commercial product
SILASTIC™ 3D 3335 Liquid Silicone Rubber
Features An LSR elastomer for general-purpose materials suitable for a wide
range of typical silicone rubber applications – 50 Shore A hardness Low viscosity for smooth printing Unique rheology for high resolution and accuracy
Benefits Allows part design flexibility Enables achievement of mechanical properties closely matching those
of molded liquid silicone rubber Direct transfer into high-volume injection-molding processes High-performance silicone elastomer parts – customized and/or new design Preparation of silicone rubber prototypes with properties that are comparable to injection-molded
components
SILASTIC™ 3D 3335 LIQUID SILICONE RUBBER – PRODUCT DETAILS
15
The technology can significantly reduce production waste, optimize the supply chain, eliminate tooling and speed the time to market for new designs unachievable through conventional technology.
Finished parts from the Liquid Additive Manufacturing (LAM) 3D Printer can withstandUV rays.
You can now combine the uniquely beneficial properties of the already-qualified silicones with faster prototype development and small-series production of highly complex parts.

SILASTIC™ 3D 3335 LIQUID SILICONE RUBBER – CURE PROFILE
17
Same sharp cure profile as injection-molding LSR measured with MDR
Moving Die Rheometer (MDR) is a rotorless curemeter designed according to ASTM D5289 and ISO 6502 to test mixed rubber. MDR is capable of measuring rubber compound cure under isothermal test conditions with constant strain and frequency.
