prototyping watch strap

[Drummer]

Hello everyone, I would like to replicate a watch strap that ahimè cannot find as a replacement.. . .
who already has experience or can give me advice on finding a suitable service (also via web) on the correct 3d printing technology in prototyping? is the end to simulate the materials of watch straps that could be printed in thermoplastic or silicone polyurethane injection?
Thank you.

perhaps the simplest and most functional solution in this case is to create a replica via silicone mold. on youtube you can find many video guides.

First you have to create the 3d model, then you are looking for a service that has 3d printers printing "rubbery" materials.
will not have the characteristics of a printed material but it goes close.

Thanks for the answers, I will do research, in principle the big doubt is the duration in time, at the limit to predict to realize a series of more pieces as spare parts... .

but should it be a small series production or is it just for repairing a watch?

it would be only for 1 watch, it is a case watch protek of those with integrated strap to the case, I think it would involve the never breaking of the strap seen as they drew the parts...

Intrigued by a watch with unchangeable straps I lost two minutes on google and found nothing.. .

by curiosity, what model of watch is spoken that does not allow the change of the strap? of the pro trek I have seen only the prw-60 that have a "strange" attack but that however allow the change....

Hello, the model is a prw 1200... not having found spare parts on the internet I was thinking of doing it again though quite complicated as a strap. I also asked at least 3 shops selling cases but no one says he can find it.

ouc, which cruel shape has the attack of those straps, perhaps the idea of making a silicone mold and then trying with a resin in pa could succeed, even if the attack of the short strap (quelloc on the buckle) is particularly rognose

even if before embarking on tests of various resins, I would first take a ride on ebay.... .

Hi.
for a strap could be adapted the flexible resin. is printed with sla technology, therefore very defined, precise and smooth.
You can try to take a look here to 3d sla print service.

ebay, thank you very much.... I found it, I think I'll take it there..., as you write that attack is really a bitch, I should have acquired it with an optical scanner for precision, I think,
the alternative of reconstructing it by detecting it with the caliber, before reaching it precise, who knows how many attempts.. .

very interesting this service, I know colleagues, I see that besides selling machines and materials, do everything, even reinforced materials... Thank you.

optical scanner for watch strap alone? is it not too expensive technology for this purpose? use such scanners in univercity, but look the priceI guess only the big companies can afford it.

hi, for rapid prototyping services and 3d printing generally, you can take a look here www.print3cri.com I served several times from them and I was satisfied
