Rubber injection vs. latex printing: a 7-week shortcut
Why our Latex Printing Technology can deliver a first functional prototype in 3 days while injection moulding still needs weeks of tooling.
The cost and lead time of tooling remain the main bottleneck for elastomeric prototypes. Our Latex Printing Technology (LPT) sidesteps that step entirely.
Why it matters
For early-stage validation, the difference is not just speed: it is the ability to iterate on geometry and material in parallel, without re-tooling.
3 days for a printed prototype vs. 7 weeks for an injection-moulded one is a 95% reduction in time-to-test.
When injection still wins
High-volume series (50k+ units) with stable design still favor injection moulding. LPT is built for the validation, customization and short-run phases that come before.
