3D printing is too hot for some time, but limited to the relationship between material and density, 3D printing still have a lot of things to do. Now most of the 3D printers are still too hard to print, and there's too much limit on what to touch and what to print ...
A 3D print production company Shapeways developed, Elasto Plastic can be squeezed 3D printing materials officially available. They are developing this material because they want to provide very strong materials for 3D print makers, which are resilient, resistant to blows, twisted, casket liquids and textured surfaces, but do not like fire, heat and are less suitable for making small objects. At present it will only be tested by specific producers and not known when to be open to all guests.
Elasto Plastic is a milky white granular material, which supports layer sintering of 3D laser printer. And with the ordinary 3D printing material is different, its biggest characteristic is, even after forming, still have certain flexibility, support outside force squeeze, twist, even pull and so on, and elasticity is full, rebound effect is very outstanding.
Interestingly, it is also waterproof and can be used as a container to hold liquids. However, Elasto Plastic is still in the experimental stage, there are many problems to be solved.
Shapeways only to ensure that the material can be printed out of high-strength, durable 3D printed goods can be officially online sales, the trial will last 6 weeks, on July 9, when Shapeways will decide whether the high elastic plastic as a long-term supply of printed materials.
Once this material matures, it will be able to apply to a wider range of things, such as 3D print slippers, 3D printing supplies, 3D print inflatable dolls, at any time to print the goddess of mind is no longer a dream, this allows the single decades of friends to find hope again.
Of course, the future of the smart hand ring can also be printed through 3D, but also 3D print strap and so on any you can imagine the object. Just imagine, when this kind of material matures, in the future, as long as buy a smart watch, you can randomly 3D print out a unique strap, of course, the traditional watch can also be changed to a 3D print strap, and they can also every day to print a pair of different shoes, even high heels.
