3D printing Elastomers Market

3D Printing Elastomers Market Analysis

3D printing can be referred to as a method of production in which the material is stacked up in layers under computer control to form a three-dimensional (3D) model. The materials used in this process are called elastomers. They are mostly rubbery material mainly composed of large molecules. Elastomers can be made of plastics, natural rubber, liquids, and polyurethane. Flexibility, durability, high thermal stability, and resistance are some of the important properties of elastomers, which help in creating perfect 3D printing models.
