Soft elastomeric material for SLS printing that combines high energy return with easy printing. Addigy® P3001 is a thermoplastic elastomer material for SLS 3D printing technology that combines high energy return with easy processing. The soft elastomer meets the requirements of: • Sensitization Biocompatibility Standards - ISO 10993-5 Cytotoxicity, ISO 10995-10 Irritation • European Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC Exploring the Benefits of Additive Manufacturing in the Sports and Lifestyle Industry Soft, rubber-like polymer materials are widely used in sports and lifestyle such as footwear, sports guards and protective gear. Additive manufacturing is a production technology well suited to the sports and lifestyle market as it allows for cost-efficient personalization and customization. Actual adoption, however, will require availability of materials that combine the right property set with easy printing and a technology that can scale economically. 3D Printing with Addigy P3001 for SLS: Combining Softness and Elastomeric Materials Typically, soft and elastomeric materials don’t 3D print easily. In Addigy P3001 for SLS, Stratasys' material scientists successfully combine both. A Shore hardness of A88 and D35 with elongation at break of the thermoplastic copolymer (TPC) exhibits a very high energy return - above the 50-60% usually found in footwear materials. Designed and Engineered for the End-User Experience End-users can benefit from better hygiene, improved communication in team sports, and enhanced client comfort with 3D scanning rather than plaster bites.
