Rapid Liquid Printing (RLP) is a revolutionary manufacturing method that allows silicone structures to be printed directly inside a liquid bath, without gravity-related collapse or support materials.
In this video, you’ll see how a two-part platinum-cured silicone is extruded into a specially designed gel that behaves like a zero-gravity environment. The surrounding liquid fully supports the material as it is printed, enabling the creation of complex, soft, and free-form geometries that are impossible to achieve with conventional 3D printing.
Because the silicone solidifies almost instantly inside the liquid, there is no need for heat, layer-by-layer curing, or support structures, making the process significantly faster and more efficient.
This technology opens new possibilities for:
- Soft robotics
- Medical devices and wearables
- Flexible industrial components
- Advanced manufacturing of silicone parts
Rapid Liquid Printing represents a major shift in how we think about additive manufacturing—printing not in air, but inside liquid.
