Abstract
The use of additive manufacturing, particularly 3D printing, for the production of seal rings is a promising way to speed up the development cycle of new products. In addition, this technology enables the rapid optimization and investigation of seal profiles. In order to guarantee the required sealing function, the sealing material must meet specific requirements. In this study, a comprehensive analysis is performed focusing on the evaluation of elastic 3D printable materials to gain an understanding of the general properties and behaviour of these materials. A liquid crystal display printer was used for all tests. The first prototypes of additive manufactured rod seals for a pneumatic application were tested.
