I've a 1950s rubber car mat, it's quite torn, holed and bits missing.

Anyone know if possible to 3D print them, or a company who offers this as a service?

If they're rubber then printing one from TPU should be quite similar although I don't know whether this would be slippery when wet.


Plenty of online individuals and services exist that print on demand. I can't comment whether it is expensive or timely though.

This might be already rejected for being too obvious, but just buy a universal oversized rubber mat and trim it down? Or even a generic 50x80 rubber floor mat and trim that?

I can repair most aspects of the set of mats, but they'd be visible repairs, mats are 71yrs old, but the worst mat is the "U" (upside down) transmission tunnel finish, which is just hanging together by two little strips!
