Latex formulation
High-quality, water-based polymer emulsions are tailored to combine printability with safety and low environmental impact.
Latex Printing Technology (LPT) is an additive manufacturing platform designed to bring printed elastomeric materials to industrial standards. Hevea3D develops water-based latex formulations that enable the production of flexible, high-resolution, and mechanically robust parts, effectively bridging product development and manufacturing. By combining industrial latex chemistry with light-based additive manufacturing, we deliver components that behave like molded elastomers—produced faster, cleaner, and with greater design freedom.
In short, we enable the 3D printing of functional, true elastomers for real industrial applications.
Hevea3D’s technology is based on the controlled photopolymerization of latex emulsions. Each step is engineered to ensure high resolution, reliable performance, and process repeatability.
High-quality, water-based polymer emulsions are tailored to combine printability with safety and low environmental impact.
Precise, layer-by-layer light exposure (50 μm) enables fine surface detail and accurate dimensional control.
Printed parts are consolidated through a controlled post-curing process that defines their final mechanical properties.
Result: Functional elastomeric components with smooth surface finish, isotropic behavior, and mechanical performance comparable to injection-molded elastomers.
By combining industrial latex technology with light-based additive manufacturing, Hevea3D integrates material performance, manufacturing efficiency, and sustainability into a single process—redefining how flexible materials are produced.
