Filament2 launches the world’s first silicone filament for 3D printing

Rehovot, Israel – Filament2 launched the world’s first silicone filament for standard filament material extrusion (FFF or filament MEX) 3D printers at Formnext. This innovation eliminates the need for specialized equipment and opens up entirely new possibilities for silicone additive manufacturing across industries.

Discover the world’s first silicone filament for 3D printers from filament2, revolutionizing silicone AM across industries.Silicone is valued for its unique properties—flexibility, heat resistance, and durability—but its adoption in 3D printing has been limited due to the complexity and cost of existing methods. Filament2’s silicone filament changes the game by enabling the extrusion of pure silicone on any standard FFF printer.

And it doesn’t stop at silicone. Filament2’s core-tube technology can create filaments from virtually any paste material, including polyurethane, ceramics, adhesives, food ingredients (even chocolate), and more. This flexibility opens the door for endless applications across industries.

The introduction of silicone filament offers significant opportunities for industries that demand high-performance materials. In the medical field, it enables the creation of custom silicone parts for implants, prosthetics, and surgical tools. For the automotive sector, it provides flexible, heat-resistant gaskets and seals essential for vehicle performance. In consumer electronics, it supports the production of durable components suited for high-heat and flexible applications. Additionally, industrial prototyping benefits from fast and cost-effective iterations of silicone parts. Filament2’s silicone filament delivers unmatched material properties, bridging the gap between prototyping and full-scale manufacturing.

By introducing silicone as a filament material, Filament2 is unlocking opportunities for applications that were previously impossible with standard 3D printers. This innovation is not just a technological breakthrough; it’s a leap forward in making advanced materials accessible to a wider audience.
