silicone 3d printer for healthcare

Can a Silicone 3D Printer Be Utilised in Healthcare Product Development?

3D Printer Brands, Lynxter /

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

3D Silicone Printing: How It Works & Ideal Applications

Explainers, Lynxter /

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
