Can you 3D print flexible materials? Yes, you can. Even production 3D printing. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s impossible. That said, it’s not a piece of cake.

Many 3D printing systems have difficulties processing the rubbery-like material, let alone produce an accurate part with thin walls, fine features and smooth surface finish.

DLP 3D printing is one of the few technologies that can master well.
