As the industry prepares for AMA: Healthcare on June 4th, few material challenges in 3D printing healthcare have proven as persistent as silicone. Too liquid to stack, too chemically sensitive to alter, and too regulated to compromise, it has long resisted conventional printing approaches.
Elastomeric AM solution provider Lynxter has spent nearly a decade working to change that. The French manufacturer has moved silicone extrusion beyond laboratory settings into functional medical device production, positioning its material extrusion platform as the primary pathway for healthcare organizations seeking end-use parts that meet the durability and chemical inertia demands of clinical environments.
“The question was never whether silicone could be printed. The question was whether it could be
