Absolutely. SALTGATOR is designed for makers—our system works with 3D-printed molds made from PLA, PETG, or resin. You can design your own or use pre-made files from our Mold Library.
We offer a dedicated platform: moldlibrary.saltgator.com, where you can freely explore, download, remix, or share 3D mold files for SALTGATOR. It’s open to all and built for creativity.
Yes, you can try third-party materials like plastisol or other soft thermoplastics. Just note that heating temps and safety may vary. For best results and guaranteed performance, we recommend our SoftGel formula.
We currently offer three levels of hardness: soft, medium, and hard. You can mix or swap between them depending on your application—from soft lures to cosplay grips.
Yes. We’ll provide full nozzle dimension specs so you can design molds that fit perfectly. You can also use pre-aligned mold case options for convenience.
No—SALTGATOR is not built for rigid plastics. It's optimized for soft, flexible materials. However, you can embed rigid parts into your molds and inject SoftGel around them for hybrid results.
3D printing soft objects is slow and limited in material softness. SALTGATOR allows you to inject ultra-soft to semi-rigid materials quickly, consistently, and with better finish. Plus, our SoftGel is reusable.
Yes. Our sealed chamber keeps everything tidy. After use, the leftover SoftGel cools and solidifies—just pull out the residue as a single piece. No water or chemical cleaning required.
Yes! SALTGATOR is designed with recyclability in mind. You can reheat and reuse SoftGel multiple times without toxic fumes or material breakdown.

Hey y'all! I just got my Saltgator injection molding system.
Works awesome! Made these today.
Why would you sell this without any material to start with. Every other machine 3D printer and other come with material to get started. Order 4 bottles August 4th and today is the 25th still don’t have it?
I start with SALTGATOR provided molds, then design my own custom grommet for electrical connectors in sheet metal. The results? Fast, clean, flexible parts made right on my bench.
Using this device, anyone, including casual users, students, or someone who wants to create a hobby on the weekends, can now easily and affordably create soft gel material directly from home, as simply as 3D printing.
I think it having an easy way to make softer componetns
This is one of the most fun and practical destkop machines I've tested in a long time.
This feels like the kind of tool that sneaks its way into your regular workflow, because it's fast, reliable, and creative.
Yes, l received mine today and tested it with a simple test mold. Worked as advertised.
