Essentium, a 3D printing technology provider for additive manufacturing, has announced its partnership with LEHVOSS, an innovator of chemical and mineral specialties. Together, the two organisations aim to develop high-performance materials for industrial-scale additive manufacturing.

 .

The partnership will aim to combine LEHVOSS’ extensive experience in thermoplastic high-performance compounds, with Essentium’s expertise in polymer and composite chemistry, to develop engineering-grade materials precisely tuned and certified for a wide range of industry applications. Previously, the high cost of 3D printing materials has been a significant obstacle hindering additive manufacturing innovation. Additionally, the low performance of materials optimised but not developed for 3D printing has inhibited additive manufacturing success.

 .

Manufacturers want polymers they trust and that offer certified standards in their applications. Following two years of collaborative research and development, Essentium has launched a line of PEEK and High-Temperature Nylon (HTN) materials using LUVOCOM 3F compounds. The materials claim to […]
