SLS Rubber-Like

Flex Plastic offers our customers excellent durability and rubber-like characteristics in a prototype unlike any other material or process available in the rapid prototyping industry. Our flexible 3D prototype services and printing present you with more options for creating the flexible prototypes that meet some very specific needs. Rubber like prototypes are called for when flexibility is the key feature that makes your project realistic.

Features

  • Rubber-like flexibility and functionality
  • Durable and tear-resistant
  • Resists harsh environments
  • Good long-term stability
  • Seals fluid-tight, even under pressure
  • Excellent surface finish and feature detail

Benefits

  • Rapidly produce parts with the look and feel of rubber and thermoplastic elastomers
  • Eliminate the time and cost of casting, machining or other secondary processes
  • Address broad applications requiring rubber-like flexibility and durability
  • Address end-use applications requiring long-term stability
  • Minimal finishing required

Applications

  • Functional prototypes and end-use parts that require rubber-like flexibility, resistance to heat and chemicals, and long-term stability.

“I wanted to let you know that the parts arrived this morning and they are great. Thank you for getting them done so quickly.”

Chris A., Mountain View, CA, USA

“In my mind 3D Prototype is the only source for rapid prototyping!”

Paul C., Vancouver, BC, Canada

“I received the 3D printed samples on Tuesday, and have everything in order for my customers visit this coming week. Thank you and your team for the quick response.”

Martin F., Trenton ON, Canada

“My prototype just arrived -— fantastic result — very pleased. Thanks again for the follow up — will be in touch as my project progresses.”

Carmen H., Portage la Prairie, MB, Canada

“Got the part. Looks cool! Very pleased with the way it came out. Thanks much, and for the quick turn-around!”

Andy G., Landisville, PA, USA

What do I need to make a 3D printed part?

In order to quote or make a 3D printed part, you need to have a 3D CAD file drawing created. We do not offer drawing or scanning services. If you don’t have a CAD drawing of your part you should find a mechanical engineer/design to draw your part. See what is 3d printing.

We’ve built parts for as low as $3 per piece and up, when building multiples. However, each case is unique and dependent on several factors such as: size, area, volume, material used, time to build, commitment to area taken up, labor and what else we can build with it. Our minimum charge is $100.
We don’t like to ballpark pricing unless it’s coming from an existing customer. A guess can sometimes be made, however, you will need a CAD file to move forward and it’s very likely the cost of hiring someone to do the drawing may very well be more than your prototype. Asking how much something the size of a mug or computer mouse will cost rarely offers any value. Start by looking at the cost to get your CAD drawing first to see if that’s cost prohibitive for you.
Hire a mechanical engineer or mechanical designer as they can create 3D CAD drawings. In addition, their education and experience will be valuable later should you manufacture your parts.

We sure can. Whether is a scaled down model for a trade show or for a sales meeting, our 3d printed models can’t be beat! There are some very important things you should quick read first though to better understand what you need to know about 3d printing and your scaled down model.
