A silicone 3D printer can create patient-matched devices once deemed too complex or costly. Hospitals now turn digital scans into functional silicone parts within hours, cutting traditional manufacturing delays while improving anatomical fit. Variable-hardness, 3D-printable silicones (5-50 ShA) perfectly match different body tissues, from soft wound contacts to firm orthotic

The FX20 transforms manufacturing floors with high-temp engineering materials reinforced with continuous fibre. Continuous fibre reinforcement builds stronger, stiffer, and more durable parts than filled and unfilled plastics by reinforcing a part’s perimeter, select features, or entire layers with carbon fibre. The FX20 also prints ULTEM™ 9085 – a high-strength,
