The possibilities for silicone rubber are endless, from product handles and grips to entertainment makeup effects. With 3D printed mold tooling, soft goods can be easily included in a designer or company's portfolio. 3D printed tooling is ideal for prototyping, small batch production, or custom end-use goods in various industries.
Watch now for an informative webinar where we showcase a detailed example of a gravity-filled injection overmold printed with Formlabs Clear Resin. See how it's used to create a silicone keychain with an embedded Apple AirTag, with insights from Formlabs customers like OXO, Glassboard Product Development, Dame Products, and PSYONIC. We'll also cover mold type selection, silicone-resin compatibility, and other best practices for silicone casting.
