Silicone Components for Robotics and Soft Automation

Soft robotics and advanced automation require components that rigid materials cannot deliver: flexible, compliant, and durable parts that interact safely with humans, delicate objects, and variable environments. Silicone 3D printing produces end-of-arm tooling, grippers, and soft actuation components with defined stiffness, complex geometries, and production-grade surface quality — without tooling investment or long lead times.

Why silicone for robotic components?

Silicone combines flexibility, durability, and chemical resistance in a single material — making it uniquely suited for human-robot interaction and precision handling applications. Shore hardness can be precisely tuned from A20 to A60, enabling application-specific compliance across a wide range of robotic use cases. True silicone performance — not TPU or TPE alternatives.

Why silicone additive manufacturing?

  • Complex geometries and fine feature details without tooling
  • Rapid design iteration, from file to part in days
  • Shore hardness A20–A60, custom formulation available
  • Low to medium volumes (1–1,000+ units) without MOQ constraints
