When we think of the materials used in 3D printing, what first comes to mind are stiff plastics. But did you know that 3D printers can also print in soft, pliable materials? And if you don’t have access to these, then you can use those stiff plastics for creating molds for casting soft, pliable materials!

You’ll see how we utilized all the above and more to produce seals and gaskets for various applications like repairing a leaking tractor!

In this webinar, we’ll look at:

• The 3D printing tech and materials available for printing seals
• Using 3D printing to make seal & gasket tooling
• Some examples of seals we made, how we made them, our reasoning for the techniques we used, and how they performed. These include: Shipper shaft seal for a Gravely tractor, O-ring gasket for a water bottle, Electrical connector seal, and more!
