Every Savage Automation EOAT is built from materials engineered for durability, tight tolerances, and clean-room compatibility - so your automation keeps running, cycle after cycle.
SLS - Formlabs Fuse X1
Printed structure
Our primary printed structural material. SLS-printed on the Formlabs Fuse X1 for dense, isotropic parts with excellent fatigue resistance across millions of cycles.
SLS - Formlabs Fuse X1
Flexible contact elements
Flexible contact fingers and soft-touch gripping elements are printed on the same Fuse X1 platform. Grips delicate parts without marking or distorting them at ejection.
In-house - Multiple durometers
High-temp contact pads
For high-temperature environments where TPU reaches its limits. We mold silicone pads in-house, dialing in the exact hardness for each part geometry and process temperature.
CNC Machined · Black Anodized
Structural backbone
The structural backbone of every tool. Machined in-house from 6061 aluminum to tight tolerances, then black anodized for corrosion resistance and a clean, professional finish.
Each material in a Savage EOAT has a specific role. The aluminum backplate provides the rigid, repeatable foundation. The printed Nylon 12 structure mounts to it and carries the geometry. TPU or silicone contact elements handle the part — chosen based on temperature and compliance requirements.
This layered approach keeps weight low, tolerances tight, and contact surfaces fully replaceable without swapping the whole tool.
Savage Automation serves medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical molders, and regulated industries where material safety is non-negotiable. Our four-material system covers the full range of biocompatibility requirements — from FDA-recognized polymers to platinum-cure silicone certified to ISO 10993 and USP Class VI standards. The anodized aluminum backplate provides a hard, non-reactive surface that does not outgas or contaminate.
ISO 10993, USP Class VI, FDA-recognized polymers
Platinum-cure available — no tin catalyst byproducts
Type II anodized — hard, non-reactive, does not outgas
Material data sheets & certificates of conformance available
The materials in your EOAT contact your finished parts thousands of times per shift. The wrong choice means contamination risk, part defects, and costly downtime. Our four-material strategy eliminates that uncertainty from the ground up.
Biocompatible materials throughout mean parts stay clean from mold to tray — critical for medical and pharma applications.
The machined aluminum backplate is the dimensionally stable reference all printed components mount to — ensuring repeatability, build after build.
Aluminum and printed Nylon 12 keep total tool weight low, reducing robot payload and extending axis life on high-cavity tools.
Silicone pads swap in where TPU can’t — so hot runners and demanding resins don’t shorten contact element life.
