With the continuous development of inkjet printing technology, 3D silicone is gradually changing the application scope of UV DTF (Direct-to-Film) printers. Unlike traditional solid-state silicone used in industries, this 3D silicone is a fluid material specifically designed for inkjet processes.
Based on silicone and supplemented with ultraviolet (UV) curable agents, it is precisely ejected through a piezoelectric printhead and rapidly cured under UV light. Ultimately, it forms three-dimensional patterns or logos with both shape and a soft touch.
his technological breakthrough not only expands the functionality of UV DTF printers but also provides new creative space for the design industry, driving innovation in printing applications.
Characteristics and Advantages of 3D Silicone
One of the main features of 3D silicone is its ability to create realistic three-dimensional effects on a variety of materials. Through UV DTF technology, 3D silicone can provide strong visual impact in applications such as brand logos on sportswear or 3D textures on bags, enhancing the uniqueness of the product. This 3D effect not only elevates the product's distinctiveness but also offers consumers more attractive customized designs.
Unlike traditional hard materials, 3D silicone maintains a soft texture while delivering a three-dimensional effect. By using AIN 6090 soft UV ink and silicone heat transfer film, after printing, cutting, and heat transferring, the patterns achieve not only realistic 3D effects but also retain their softness, ensuring fabric comfort. This feature makes it particularly suitable for products such as clothing and bags, providing both visual 3D appeal and tactile softness.
3D silicone has a high level of material adaptability. It can be printed on various materials, including clothing, bags, shoes, hats, as well as on plastics, glass, metal, ceramics, and wood. This broad applicability makes 3D silicone technology suitable for a wide range of customized products, from fashion accessories to industrial components.
One of the key benefits of UV DTF technology is that it does not require additional heating or drying processes. Through UV light exposure, 3D silicone is directly cured, significantly improving the printing efficiency while saving time and labor costs. This is particularly important in industries that require fast production and customization.

Under the UV light from UV DTF printers, 3D silicone quickly cures, allowing for high precision printing with microscopic details. The piezoelectric printhead enables precision control of patterns, with a minimal raised surface as fine as 0.05mm, ensuring every design detail is captured with high accuracy.
In the fashion industry, the application of 3D silicone enables the customization of small logos or designs on sportswear, denim, workwear, and other garments. It enhances personalization without compromising the softness or comfort of the fabric. Consumers can enjoy more individualized and creative designs, while fashion brands can increase their market competitiveness through this innovative technology.
On bags, shoes, and accessories, printing 3D silicone patterns not only highlights the brand's uniqueness but also enhances the product's upscale feel. For example, a 3D logo on a handbag is not only visually appealing but also adds a soft, tactile texture. With UV DTF printing, the details of accessories are significantly improved, offering both aesthetics and functionality.
In outdoor products, such as tents and backpacks, 3D silicone patterns provide strong visual appeal and excellent durability. They are resistant to harsh outdoor environments, ensuring long-term use without fading or deformation. For outdoor equipment manufacturers, this technology helps produce customized products that are both beautiful and durable.
