en.Wedoany.com Reported - Inkbit recently announced that its production-grade TEPU 30A and TEPU 50A elastomer materials are now available to customers through the Stratasys Direct manufacturing services network. This move introduces Inkbit's Vision-Controlled Jetting (VCJ) technology into the Stratasys Direct service system, expanding access to functional elastomer parts for engineering teams transitioning from prototyping to production. This caters to application scenarios demanding precision, repeatability, and mechanical performance.

Vision-Controlled Jetting technology employs closed-loop control and a meltable wax support system at the voxel level. According to the company, this helps reduce surface artifacts and powder residue issues common in some additive manufacturing methods, while producing fully dense, pore-free parts. TEPU elastomer materials support designs featuring complex internal lattices, airtight seals, and compliant structures, enabling the production of soft, durable, and dimensionally stable parts without the need for support structures.

Inkbit CEO Davide Marini stated, "Access translates technology into impact. By making TEPU elastomers available through Stratasys Direct, we are expanding the reach of our digital factory to teams that require functional performance, not just visual prototypes. This is about enabling engineers to build what they actually intend to use."

Bud Runquist, General Manager of Stratasys Direct, added that as more customers transition from prototyping to production, demand for functional elastomers continues to grow. Incorporating Vision-Controlled Jetting technology into their portfolio expands the company's ability to support such applications. Through Stratasys Direct, customers can now order TEPU 30A and TEPU 50A parts manufactured using Vision-Controlled Jetting technology, applicable in areas such as soft-touch interfaces, seals and gaskets, airtight assemblies, energy-absorbing lattices and foams, and cushioning components.
