Elastomers, Rubber and Foam 3D Printing Materials
FreeFoam™
Material: Foam
FreeFoam™ is an expandable foam 3D printing resin designed for the DLP 3D printing process.
Full Description
FreeFoam photopolymer resins contain dispersed heat-activated foaming agents and are 3D printed into designs like other resins with Digital Light Processing (DLP). After printing, FreeFoam parts undergo a brief oven cycle, creating closed cells that expand the part a programmable amount between 2 to 7 times its original size maintaining tight tolerances

Simulated Rubber for Rapid Prototyping
Simulate rubber materials with Polyjet Rubber and Polyjet Digital materials. Polyjet 3D printing technology allows manufacturers to create realistic and precise models and parts. Polyjet Rubber-Like materials are designed for functional prototyping, concept modeling, manufacturing tools and display parts finishing.
Polyjet Rubber-Like materials have elastomer characteristics: elongation at break, tear resistance and tensile strength. Rubber-like materials have been created for applications that require soft and non-slip surfaces. Rubber-like materials are used to produce consumer electronics, medical devices, automotive and aerospace interiors. The Polyjet Family of rubber-like materials includes TangoGray™, TangoBlack™, TangoPlus™ (amber) and TangoBlackPlus™. Polyjet Digital Materials are designed to simulate engineering plastics by combining qualities for durability and high temperature resistance. They have excellent shock absorption and high-impact resistance characteristics. Digital Materials are ideal for functional prototypes, snap-fit parts, electrical parts casings and engine part covers.
