More rubber-like materials for rapid prototyping

ERJ staff report (DS)

Rehovot, Israel -- Objet Geometries has launched a new range of rapid prototyping materials that allow designers and manufacturers to create high-quality parts that more closely resemble a broad range of rubber products. The material offers a shorter finishing process, allowing users to accelerate time-to-market.

The new range, called TangoBlackPlus, expands Objet's Tango family of materials, which is claimed to be the only full offering of materials with rubber-like characteristics. Objet said the new range offers outstanding flexibility and durability, exceptional elongation at break, and high resistance to tear.

“TangoBlackPlus was created to fill a need among Objet customers, and represents our full commitment to their long-term success” said David Reis, CEO of Objet Geometries, and added: “By offering companies the added benefit of simulating the look, feel and function of rubber products, we are offering them the ability to move products to market faster”.
