MD&M West (February 6 – 8)

Visit RDAbbott in M.R. Mold & Engineering’s booth 1346 at MD&M West 2018 February 6 – 8 in Anaheim, California. We will be showcasing the latest addition to our technical services portfolio, a Liquid Additive Manufacturing (LAM) 3D printer.

This revolutionary, patent-pending LAM 3D Printer was developed in collaboration with German RepRap GmbH, a leading German manufacturer of 3D printers, and Dow Performance Silicones.

German RepRap’s LAM platform combined with Dow Performance Silicones’ 3D Printable SILASTIC™ 3D 3335 Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) is potentially capable of printing functional prototypes and enabling small manufacturing trials of complex parts. Further, the material’s properties closely match those of molded LSR, allowing an easy transfer into injection molding processes for high-volume manufacturing.
