L320 3D printer from German RepRap allows printing with injection molding silicone

The L320 3D printer from the Liquid Additive Manufacturing (LAM) series by German RepRap allows 3D printing with injection molding silicone. With complex geometries such as cross, lattice, and honeycomb, the object’s structure can be controlled at the molecular level.

The new printhead technology enables precise metering and mixing ratios of the highly viscous liquid silicone rubber. Whereas conventional production processes such as injection molding require all molecules to be aligned, LAM technology can influence the application direction and thus the cross-linking at the molecular level.
