Additive manufacturing takes a firm step towards the food industry with Lynxter's new SIL-004. This platinum-cured liquid silicone material has FDA certification for direct food contact, free of BPA and PFAS. It fills a regulatory gap that limited the 3D printing of components such as seals, scrapers, and molds for production lines.
From prototype to production with two supply formats 🏭
The SIL-004 is available in two configurations: 55-gram syringes for prototyping and 850-gram cartridges for series production. The mixing ratio is 1 to 5, and being free of controversial substances, it enables on-demand production of parts such as conveyor components. Lynxter bets on traceability and safety in a sector where regulations were previously an obstacle to 3D printing.
Silicone without BPA: your seals can now lick the spoon 🥄
Finally, 3D-printed silicone scrapers will be able to touch mayonnaise without a European inspector raising the roof. Lynxter has created a material that is not only safe but comes in 55-gram syringes that look like they're from a dental horror movie. And the best part: you'll be able to make your own cookie molds without wondering if breakfast will leave a chemical footprint.
