You need to pick the right flexible materials for rapid manufacturing. This helps you get the best results in rubber-like prototyping. Silicone, TPU, and elastomers are very popular choices. These materials have different softness, durability, and flexibility. You can look at their usual uses and hardness levels below: Material Shore Hardness Applications Silicone 50A - 90A Flexible boots, weatherstripping, O-rings, bumpers TPU 70A - 95A High-impact parts, seals, gaskets, flexible items Elastomers 10A - 90D Seals, gaskets, general rubber parts You must choose materials carefully. Your choice changes how fast you can make a prototype. It also affects how well…
