The silicone 3D printing market has evolved significantly in recent years and is increasingly characterized by innovative technologies and specialized applications. In this context, Lynxter, a leading manufacturer of elastomer 3D printers, and 3Deus Dynamics, a company with patented dynamic molding technology, have entered into a strategic partnership. The aim of the collaboration is to open up new manufacturing possibilities for industry and medicine.
Dynamic molding is a process developed by researchers at the CNRS in Lyon that is based on material extrusion (MEX). In this process, a strand of material is placed in a bed of granules, which stabilizes the mould during printing. This method enables the production of complex components, such as anatomical models, without additional support structures. It also allows the integration of special properties such as fire resistance or electromagnetic shielding through the combination with functional powders. The process is particularly resource-efficient, as the granulate can be used several times.
The possible applications are many and varied. In medical technology, the technology is used for surgical simulations, the development of medical devices and patient-specific models. It offers high precision in terms of shape and material properties, which leads to better treatment results and a reduced need for animal testing. Flexible, heat-resistant or conductive components are used in the aerospace and industrial sectors.
With their cooperation, Lynxter and 3Deus Dynamics offer a solution that sets new standards in the industry. The technology is available both in the 3Deus Dynamics production center and in the Lynxter Application Center. This provides companies with comprehensive options for developing and manufacturing highly specialized products.
