Yamaha Adopts Exmate Resin for Smart Mouthpiece R&D
Yamaha Corporation has fully adopted Exmate, a food-safe resin for stereolithography 3D printers, in the research and development of its sensor-equipped mouthpiece SMARTMOUTHPIECE. The material, developed by Expert Material Laboratories, has been used since June 2023 and allows players to safely put the mouthpiece in their mouth during evaluation. The curved internal tunnel of the mouthpiece, which connects the oral cavity to a sensor, cannot be made by molding or cutting and requires integral 3D printing.
