3D printing flexible materials

During the pandemic I had a customized 3D printer built. What’s special about it is among others that it can print very elastic materials. There is a lot of fine-tuning to be done, and for sure the programming is way out of my comfort zone, but the first results are very promising. One of the many interesting things about it, is that all waste can be reused, and the material itself can be endlessly recycled. Biobased materials are being developed as well.

Are you a producer and interested to invest in new technology? Do contact me! This 3D printing technique will acquire its own place in textile and vinyl industry in the years to come.
