Silicone elastomers are versatile materials with high-performance properties making them attractive for a wide range of applications, from consumer products to medical devices, to industrial parts for automotive and manufacturing sectors.
Silicone parts are traditionally fabricated with injection molding, compression molding, or casting. These processes are either labor-intensive or require expensive tooling that comes with long lead times. 3D printing can solve these challenges: it allows you to fabricate parts quickly and at a low cost.
There are three solutions: 3D printing pure silicone, 3D printing elastomeric parts with silicone-like properties, or 3D printing molds for casting the silicone of your choice.

Chapter 2: 3D Printing High-Performance Elastomers
Chapter 3: 3D Printing Molds for Casting the Silicone of Your Choice

Your material price are very high!
I thought that I have to use support material always for each printing. 😮
Dur-ah-meter
The irony of talking about how these materials and manufacturing process can take your lead time form 2-3 weeks to 8 hours. Yet to buy the materials the lead time is currently 8 weeks from you guys. LOL…
I have a product that would be much improved with 3D printed 40A silicone, but only at a cost of 10 cents per gram or less.
Yerrrr…. a lead time of 8 weeks and no viewable pricing lol.
Unfortunately silicone like materials is NOT real silicone….
What about labor costs? This is why companies use automated injection molding. Tooling costs are high up front but then material and labor costs are much much lower compared to resin so the overall price is lower. If Formlabs could automate the process affordably and sell Resin for a price in line with production parts then I might be a customer.
I wouldn’t use dorman as a benchmark. Kill th music
will 40A silicone resist high voltages found in automotive ignition systems ? Did I see that ?
Bad dragons for allllllll!!!!!
Dorman Automotive is a terrible company.
Very cool but the Devil is on the details , as always😊
This presentation is very impressive.
I feel like I'm not getting the whole story.. just saying.
Your writer has obviously never used a 3D printer.
