Silicone 3D printing & prototypes

Small series produced very quickly with non-complied or LSR original material

3D printing is revolutionising the production of components, art objects and prototypes through the use of lightweight materials in extremely small quantities. This technology enables companies and creative minds alike to cost-effectively develop pre-series and prototypes for series components. Immerse yourself in the possibilities of 3D printing and discover how we can transform your ideas into high-quality products.

Find out how our 3D printing technology and our team of experts can support you during the product development process as co-development.

Silicone 3D printing

Our silicone 3D printing offers you customised solutions for the production of silicone parts and components. Thanks to our state-of-the-art technology and our experienced team, we are able to produce even complex geometries precisely and efficiently.

Prototype production

In the development phase of a product, the rapid availability of prototypes is crucial. Our prototyping service offers you the opportunity to efficiently transform your designs and concepts into physical models.

Tool making

Toolmaking is at the heart of every industrial production process, where precision and quality are paramount. Traditionally, the construction of moulds requires time-consuming processes that entail high costs and long development times.

This is where silicone 3D printing comes into play – a ground-breaking technology that is revolutionising toolmaking.

Co-Development

In co-development, we work closely with you to realise your vision. On request, we can accompany you from the initial idea through the entire development process. Alternatively, we are available as a co-developer, i.e. as a partner for the development of specific sub-areas.

This flexible approach enables us to respond to your individual needs and develop customised solutions.

Safety & experience

International success and sustainable growth require a powerful organisation. The RICO GROUP develops ideas with great enthusiasm and supports all customers from the start of a project to its completion. In order to better coordinate activities, the four companies operate under the umbrella of the RICO GROUP.

As a specialist in elastomer processing, the RICO GROUP produces reliable, marketable and customised silicone parts and multi-component parts.
