Material allows users to create rubber-like parts

An Objet Geometries Europe product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Oct 2, 2009

Objet Geometries has released the Tangoblackplus material, which allows designers and manufacturers to create high-quality parts that closely resemble a range of rubber products.

The material allows for a short finishing process, enabling users to accelerate the time to market.

Tangoblackplus expands the company's Tango range, which offers materials with rubber-like characteristics, flexibility, durability, elongation at break and high resistance to tear.

The material builds on the same combination of mechanical properties as in Objet's Fullcure930 Tangoplus, which was released in 2007.

Black in colour, it reduces the time required to create models of products in the automotive market, defence industry and shoes, which designers previously painted black after printing.

It will also aid the development of soft-touch grips, handles, gaskets and seals, among other items.

Tangoblackplus, which can be ordered under the Fullcure 980 catalogue number, is supported by the Eden line of 3D printing systems (Eden260V, Eden350, Eden350V and Eden500V) and the Connex range of 3D printers, which is capable of printing multi-material, multi-part designs.

Objet is also launching a digital material pack for the Connex range, based on Tangoblackplus.

This pack will enable the printing of suitable parts for product-design testing.
