3D Silicone Printing: How It Works & Ideal Applications

3D silicone printing opens new opportunities for production alongside traditional techniques like injection moulding, compression moulding, and casting. Despite the potential, silicone’s use in additive manufacturing is relatively limited because very high viscosity makes it difficult to control out of the nozzle. This introduces flow rate problems in standard 3D
