Simulated Rubber Material
Flexible Tango™ material exhibits rubber-like qualities to simulate soft-touch coatings, non-slip surfaces, over-molding grips, shoe soles and other applications requiring flexible characteristics.
TriMech can create realistic prototypes to test and verify any design that includes rubber. Tango material lets us zero in on exactly the elastomer properties you need.
Tango material is available in black, gray and translucent colors, and in a range of Shore A hardness values comparable to rubber bands, tire treads and shoe heels.

Learn more about the benefits of PolyJet printed parts
PolyJet is a powerful 3D printing technology that produces smooth, accurate parts, prototypes and tooling.
With microscopic layer resolution and accuracy down to 0.1 mm, it can produce thin walls and complex geometries using the widest range of materials available with any technology.

Main Uses
With Rubber-like PolyJet photopolymers, we can simulate rubber with different levels of hardness, elongation and tear resistance.
Rubber-like (Tango & TangoPlus) Material Applications
Exhibition and communication models
Rubber surrounds and over-molding
Soft-touch coatings and non-slip surfaces for tooling or prototypes
Knobs, grips, pulls, handles, gaskets, seals, hoses, footwear

Advantages of PolyJet Technology
Advantages of parts built with a Stratasys PolyJet Machine
Realistic Parts
Stratasys PolyJet 3D Printers are based on proven technology, which creates precise prototypes that set the standard for finished-product realism.
Their fine resolution makes complex shapes, intricate details and smooth surfaces possible.
Precise Models
PolyJet 3D Printing works by jetting layers of liquid photopolymer onto a build tray and instantly curing them with UV light.
The fine layers build up to create a precise 3D model or prototype. Models are ready to handle right out of the 3D printer, with no post-curing needed.
