3D printing in silicone
E
Hi everyone, I am looking at developing a silicone product, specifically an armband for a certain sports watch brand. The design is quite complex and it seems as if 3D printing is the best choice for this. I am however not sure if 3D printing can actually produce parts that mimic the properties of silicone. And if not, are there materials that at least come close to replicating these properties?
