Flexible material with nearly perfect surface treatment and high level of detail. For example, suitable for handles or seals. This technology allows the creation of very accurate models or even functional products, where simulating flexible characteristics of rubber or silicone is necessary.<\/p>\n

Typical use<\/h2>\n

Models and products with flexible parts – handles, stamps, seals.

Finishing<\/h2>\n

The final model can be edited further to achieve even smoother surface.<\/p>\n

Colouring is suitable when the base is basic paint for plastic surfaces and afterwards acrylic spray paint.<\/p>\n

For bonding, epoxy glue, which creates flexible joint, has proven effective.<\/p>\n

Technology<\/h2>\n

Layering acrylic based photopolymer cured with UV light by the company Formlabs. It creates smooth surface and accurate geometry.<\/p>\n
