TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: True Silicone DLP Printing Platform

Solicitation # S-133734

The True Silicone DLP Printing Platform enables the fabrication of high-purity silicone parts with complex geometries using standard desktop DLP printers, bypassing the need for expensive extrusion-based systems. Unlike conventional silicone alternatives that rely on carbon-based linkages and metal catalysts, this technology produces true silicone with a continuous silicon-oxygen polymer backbone, eliminating aging issues and chemical instability while ensuring biocompatibility and regulatory ease. The process involves a custom resin combining a light-curable acrylic scaffold with a siloxane component; during printing, the acrylic locks the shape layer by layer, and subsequent heating and solvent washing remove the scaffold, leaving behind a porous, pure-silicone structure with tunable mechanical properties and open porosity that can be further functionalized with conductive or active materials. This method supports high throughput through full-layer photopolymerization, delivering faster production than extrusion techniques, and is compatible with widely available, low-cost 3D printing hardware. The platform’s scaffold-and-wash strategy is broadly applicable, offering a template for printing other challenging materials, and its outputs are suited for high-demand applications in medical devices, soft robotics, microfluidics, aerospace seals, optics, and consumer goods. Developed to TRL 4, the technology is protected under U.S. Patent No. 11,939,415 and is available for licensing through Los Alamos National Laboratory, with opportunities for exclusive or non-exclusive agreements to companies seeking to commercialize this innovation.
