Abstract

A novel custom-made 3D silicone printer and two-part Ecoflex silicone resins were used to 3D-print standard-shaped silicone coupon and irregular-shaped meniscus structures via a heat-cured extrusion-based method. This article is segmented into three parts: (1) study on the effect of 3D printing para...
