Arkema showcases its innovative solutions and partnerships for 3D Printing at Formnext 2021
Arkema, a pioneer and leader in high-performance materials for 3D printing, continues its development in additive manufacturing and provides innovative and sustainable new material solutions for all major 3D printing technologies. The Group has expanded its list of industrial partnerships and collaborative research programs all along the supply chain.
During Formnext, taking place from November 16 to 19 in Frankfurt (Germany), Arkema will unveil several new products and strategic partnerships with key players all along the supply chain to leverage the unique features of additive manufacturing: freedom of design and customization, speed of implementation, and savings on raw materials use.
Arkema offers the most extensive range of materials for each of the major 3D printing technologies:
Radiation Curing
N3xtDimension® liquid resins are pioneering solutions for UV curable 3D printing with unique building blocks, photoinitiators, engineered resins[1] and custom formulations, strengthened by the recent acquisition of Colorado Photopolymer Solutions.
At the exhibition, Arkema will introduce five new high performance custom formulations for UV-curing:
- N3D-TOUGH784: High-strength material with excellent tensile strength and flexibility
- HT511: Tough high-temperature resin
- N3D – MODEL115: Performance resin designed to print accurate dental models
- IC163: Casting resin for printing high-resolution, high-detail parts that burn out cleanly, as well as the brand new PRO22802 elastomeric engineered resin offering outstanding balance between elongation at break and tear strength, leading to excellent mechanical properties.
[1] N3xtDimension® engineered resins enable targeted performance, add your package of photoinitiators, UV blockers, additives, and pigment to have ready to print solutions customized to your printers.
To meet the increasing demand in advanced electronic applications, the company has designed PRO14729, PRO14730 and PRO14731 new ultra-low loss materials with varied viscosities for radio frequency (RF) applications. These materials are UV curable resins capable of providing very low dielectric constant and a dissipation factor, ideal for 3D printing in advanced electronic applications.
