Egg Shell Molding, also known as Digital Silicone Tooling, is an advanced additive manufacturing technique for producing custom and intricate silicone components using ultra-thin, single-use 3D-printed molds.
I contributed to the early conception and on going development of this method across various 3D printing technologies—including SLA, DLP, and MJP—and hold multiple patents in this area.
This method of manufacture has been used to make a wide variety of silicone components and has impacted everything from the prototyping of VR headsets to anatomical models used in surgical simulations.
