Adaptive 3D™ Soft ToughRubber™
ETEC DuraChain™ Photopolymers
Soft ToughRubber™
For soft, flexible parts with functional end performance
Adaptive 3D® Soft ToughRubber™ is an innovative polymer resin that enables customers to produce flexible end parts and products at scale with high accuracy, isotropic properties, and great printability. This elastomer ensures the silicone feel and mechanical properties of the DLP® printing's resolution and surface finish even when manufacturing complex geometry parts or models.
World’s softest yet tough biocompatible Additive Manufacturing photopolymer
Soft ToughRubber is the newest product in the ToughRubber family. It is a class of one-part, one-pot, rapid curing photopolymers with high-throughput print speeds. Designed for functional prototypes of audio earbuds, wearable electronics, and anatomical medical models Soft ToughRubber (STR) delivers silicone feel and mechanical properties with the resolution and surface finish that DLP® printing provides.
Applications
Medical
Most Adaptive 3D materials pass ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-10 testing for use with products that come in contact with the skin such as anatomical medical models or orthopedic insoles.
Transportation
If you're looking to dampen vibration or reduce noise in automotive components, the Elastic ToughRubber (ETR) is the ideal solution. It provides durability and tear-resistance for end-use parts.
Consumer Product
From wearable electronics to footwear, to defence and firearm components, Elastic ToughRubber (ETR) delivers a range of Shore A Durometers along with the functional performance for end parts and products
Wearable Electronics
Adaptive 3D elastomers allow the manufacturing of differentiated geometries from molded rubbers with a high quality and surface finish.
