Materialise and Shapeways, two different companies known for its 3D printing announce something squishy yesterday.
Squishy, squishy possibilities for your dream 3D printed goodies!
Each group introduced their own unique kind of 3D printing material which allows items to be more of a bendable and flexible. Our friends from Slashgear had experienced the squishy-ness and nonetheless found only a slight difference.
“The new, improved Elasto Plastic is a great option for Makers as it is an incredibly durable material with a lot of really interesting properties such as high impact resistance, flexibility and compression (depending on the geometry), along with a high level of static friction because of the surface texture. Though not strictly water-tight, it can hold liquids, but it does not like high temperatures or fire … and it is not so good for very small things.” – Shapeways
