TCT Magazine reported that Lynxter launched SIL-004, a food-grade 3D printing silicone for food-processing seals, flexible components, scraping systems, and complex food-grade molds.

Why it matters

Flexible materials are moving from simply being bendable toward meeting specific functional and regulatory environments. This changes how TPU, elastic resin, flexible resin, and soft functional parts should be presented online.
