Hi Alex,
We have a line of rubber SL materials with shore hardness of 45A, 65A &
80A. These are urethane acrylates that are being used in the Rapid
Manufacturing Industry. If you would like to discuss it further or if
your interested in a list of SB's using our materials, my contact info
is below.
Best Regards,
Jim

Subject: [rp-ml] Prototyping: Conductive Rubber Switchpads on the west
coast?
For any of you prototyping bureaus out there, as part of a full product
prototyping process (I'm talking PCB and everything) do you ever find
the need to get low volume conductive rubber switchpads?
These are the rubber buttons with the black dots inside that when
depressed against a contact area on PCB shorts a connection - pretty
standard for remote controls, cell phones, cordless phones, etc. I do
"product prototyping" (in quotations because it's on an academic level)
and rather than making FDM buttons I'd like to emulate the look, feel,
and operation of a real device where conductive rubber switchpads are
well applied. Plus it makes the PCB prototyping fairly simple.
