SiO Shaping 2201 This 3D printer works by depositing filaments using 100 percent cured, antimicrobial fluorosilicones, which provide excellent resistance to hydrocarbon fuels and petroleum oils, among others. 

What’s new? This new model can print standard liquid silicone rubber, whereas previous models could only work with ultraviolet-light-cured silicone. 

Benefits Easy transition from prototyping to larger-volume runs, and the possibility to print larger pieces. The printer allows products to be prototyped and then manufactured with the same raw material. It is ideal for the printing of small- and medium-sized volumes of parts.
