    Abstract: This invention relates to the method for mold-free manufacturing of natural rubber articles. Specifically, the articles can be fabricated in the stereolithography process which eliminates the need of mold making and reduces the process time significantly. The method comprises the steps of (1) preparing prevulcanized latex compound for sulfur and non-sulfur vulcanization; (2) adding processing aid to make the latex compound curable when exposed to laser irradiation, the processing aid includes heat-sensitive polymer and/or carbon material(s); and (3) fabricating of three-dimensional rubber articles by stereolithography process. The process are capable of fabricating complex shapes and internal features. As the said rubber articles contain more than 95% of natural rubber, they are highly flexible and can be translucent in some embodiments.
