AM processes offer the possibility to simply and rapidly create 3D parts with specific geometries, difficult or impossible to obtain with conventional processes [1]. Manufacturing of functional prototypes based on “true materials” has drawn a lot of interest from industry. Among these, elastomers represent good potential for functional prototypes as it offers the possibility to obtain materials with for example soft touch or damping properties. However, with regular cost-efficient technology like Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), the use of elastomers remains complex to implement. A new technology named Freeformer supplied by ARBURG (Germany) allows manufacturing of high quality 3D parts using standard-commercial pellets. The Freeformer technology is based on two injection molding units that enables to melt standard pellets and to feed the printing head. The discharge unit featuring a pulsed nozzle closure generates small (down to 200 μm) molten polymer droplets to build, layer-by-layer, three-dimensional parts in a thermoregulated chamber. Thanks to additive manufacturing technology, the use of soft materials like elastomers is made easier. Different grades of SEBS and TPU were used to make samples and evaluate the tensile properties. Surprisingly, very good strength and ductility are obtained contrary to what is obtained in the case of brittle materials like ABS. A comparison with samples obtained via injection molding shows similar mechanical performances. The presence of porosity associated with additive manufacturing process seems to have a limited impact in this case. [1] M.
