Tooling risk is real. So is the pressure to move faster.

Techno - Technology and Innovation answer was to integrate additive manufacturing into the development cycle—so teams can validate earlier, iterate faster, and reach mold release with more confidence.

The newest step forward: 3D printed silicone, enabling earlier testing for sealing and functional performance—while supporting small pre-series volumes on the road to injection molding.

“Silicone-like” Isn't Silicone. Let's Stop Pretending.
Some companies claim they offer silicone 3D printing — but what happens when you put their materials to the test?
Aging tests reveal the truth: many so-called “silicone” materials degrade over time, losing flexibility, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. That's not how real silicone behaves.
At Stratasys, we partnered with Shin-Etsu to develop P3™ Silicone 25A, a true silicone with a silicon-oxygen backbone — delivering the long-term performance engineers expect. If your application demands real durability, don't settle for imitations.
