Do you believe new 3D printing technologies provide meaningful improvements for industrial production?
Lynxter has released the OVERTIME add-on module for its S300X-LIQ21 and S300X-LIQ11 silicone 3D printers, which enables the use of the full build volume in a single print cycle. The add-on is available now and allows for significantly longer continuous production times.
Why it matters
This module addresses a critical limitation in silicone additive manufacturing by extending printing autonomy, enabling the fabrication of larger, more complex parts without pausing for curing constraints.
The OVERTIME module provides a 36x increase in printing autonomy compared to previous configurations, supporting nozzle diameters from 0.40 mm to 1.00 mm. The system is compatible with seven specific silicone ranges, including the SIL and COPSIL series.
The players
Lynxter
A manufacturer of modular industrial 3D printers specialized in liquid silicone and high-performance material deposition systems.
The details
The module functions by bypassing specific curing limitations that previously restricted silicone material stability within the print head. By extending the window for material deposition, the system facilitates larger, high-volume production runs that were previously segmented. Some earlier S300X printer versions require a hardware modification to the print head to achieve compatibility.
Timeline
November 2026: Lynxter previews the OVERTIME add-on at Formnext.
The Tech Race
This release follows the industry performance benchmarks established at Formnext for high-volume additive manufacturing. It represents a shift from prototyping to large-scale production, competing with traditional silicone molding through increased print autonomy.
The add-on is currently available for existing users of the S300X-LIQ21 and S300X-LIQ11 systems, though some earlier models require a physical print head modification. This update enables manufacturers to produce larger silicone components in single batches, replacing multi-part assembly processes.
The takeaway
Lynxter is solving the material constraints that have long limited the scale of silicone additive manufacturing. Watch the demonstration at Formnext in November 2026 to see if the increased print autonomy holds for complex, multi-geometry production runs.
What happens next
Lynxter will present a demonstration of the OVERTIME module at the Formnext event scheduled for November 2026.
