In this contribution, 3D printing of elastomer layers is investigated. 3D printing gains emerging interest due to its versatility in geometry as well as the ability of producing thin layers and therefore is a promising fabrication method for dielectric elastomer transducers (DETs). Direct Ink Writing (DIW) is a specific type of 3D printing based on the extrusion of fluidic elastomer with middle viscosity, which is the used printing technology in this work. The printing requirements for DETs are defined and by varying the process parameters, printing tests are conducted. Finally, the layers are analyzed and the results are discussed. The main results are printing of a single layer elastomer with 40 µm thickness and three elastomer layers printed on top of each other.
