Elkem introduces new generation of silicone elastomers for additive manufacturing

Lübeck, Germany – The AMSil™ 20503 series is an advanced development for Additive Manufacturing (AM) / 3D Printing applications based on tailored Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) formulations. This range offers the production of durable and functional components, such as spare parts, anatomical models, and textiles…

AMSil™ 20503 series provides a multitude of benefits:
Enhanced productivity thanks to finetuned rheology
Extended shelf life
Close development with 3D Printer manufacturers &
end-users
High physicochemical performances and durability
These formulations are available with Shore A hardness from ShA 5 to ShA 70, maintaining the well-known properties of 100% silicones for LDM (Liquid Deposit Molding) based systems.

Additionally, Elkem is introducing the AMSil™ 92102, a new reference in the support material series.

AMSil™ 92102 provides a multitude of benefits:
Improved printability
Allowing refined surface aspects
Enable more complex and efficient structures.
These advancements highlight Elkem’s commitment to driving the Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing sector forward and contributing to a more sustainable economy. By scaling Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing to industrial levels through Digital Manufacturing, Elkem aims to create innovative, profitable, and sustainable solutions that reduce waste, transportation, and storage costs, thereby lowering the carbon footprint of end-products.
