    Silicone SLA resin?

    Does any company make an SLA, "printable" silicone resin, or a product that would be similar, with regards to flexibility, etc.?

    If a silicone type resin is available, what brand of 3D printer would be appropriate to use it with.


    Thanks,

    Stratasys [Objet] make a range of flexible photopolymers for their printhead range of machines. For true silicon you would need to look at Picsima who developed a way to print RTV silicones

    yep flexible resins are available. Formlabs definitely make one.
    Pretty much any sla printer will be able to use them.

    Hyrel have an extruder head that will also print silicone.
    And they did it first :-)
