    Abstract: A method of formfree printing a three-dimensional object in layers with at least one printing material includes outputting printing material in at least one printing material string in string-shape via at least one printing head; receiving, via a printing platen, at least one printing material string output by the at least one printing head; providing a rod-shaped heating device movably arranged over the printing platen; controlling the rod-shaped heating device, via a heat controller, to emit a heat irradiation directed to the printing platen to heat the at least one printing material string to a reaction temperature to trigger a chemical reaction of the at least one printing material of the at least one printing material string; providing at least one motor coupled to the rod-shaped heating device to move it over the printing platen; and controlling the at least one motor, via a motor controller, to move the rod-shaped heating device over the printing platen to harden the at least one printing material string printed on the printing platen.

    Abstract: There is provided an adhesion mediator composition for use in the adhesion of silicone elastomers made from hydrosilylation curable silicone rubber compositions to thermoplastic substrates, especially polyolefin substrates. There is also provided a process for adhering silicone elastomers to thermoplastic substrates using the adhesion mediator composition. The adhesion mediator composition comprises: (i) a trialkoxysilane; (ii) a platinum group metal based hydrosilylation reaction catalyst; (iii) an alkoxy titanium compound; (iv) a tetraalkoxysilane; and (v): either (a′) a polyorganosiloxane containing at least two unsaturated groups; or (b′) a mixture of two or more polyorganosiloxanes containing at least two unsaturated groups. The method comprises the steps of: (a) optionally, activating a thermoplastic substrate surface; (b) treating the optionally activated thermoplastic substrate surface with the adhesion mediator composition; (c) applying a hydrosilylation curable silicone rubber composition on to the treated surface resulting from step (b); and (d) curing the hydrosilylation curable silicone rubber composition.
