As an elastomer (or synthetic rubber), and unlike thermoplastics, silicone cannot be processed by melting and solidification. To overcome the challenges associated with silicone 3D printing technology ...

Embedded 3D printing has been effective for structuring a variety of soft materials like hydrogels, microparticles and even living cells. However, printing with silicone has remained challenging.

Among the latest materials-related business developments in liquid silicone rubber, ACEO is launching new fluorosilicone versions of its LSR 3D printing materials.

3D printed dental devices, hearing aids, and cochlear implants are some of the potential medical parts that CSIRO believes its newly developed silicone resins can be used to help produce.

We all know what the ultimate goal of 3D printing is: to be able to print parts for everything, including our own bodies. To achieve that potential, we need better ways to print soft materials, and… ...

A team of researchers recently published a paper in the journal Additive Manufacturing that demonstrated the feasibility of using a three-dimensional (3D)-printed electrically conductive silicon ...

MIT researchers have engineered a chip-based 3D printer that can create complex, programmable shapes out of resin in seconds. The tech utilizes silicon photonics and will eventually be iterated ...

Our Hackaday-search-fu turned up this hybrid 3D printing and carbon fiber build method, and this project where they’re headed in exactly the direction we were thinking of, albeit with an ...

This Omaha designer is 3D printing the future of eyewear Omaha-based Alan Tipp was one of SPN’s first interviews way back in 2009 when he was designing performance eyewear for Under Armour.

"There's people all around Silicon Valley and in the Bay Area that have 3D Printers that are just sitting idle in their garage, and you know, anyone who has a 3D Printer can go on to our website ...
