Arkema will open its 3D printing Center of Excellence (CoE) to advance 3D Printing resins technology. This new center will complete the Arkema’s worldwide R&D network dedicated to the development of advanced material for additive manufacturing. This advanced lab will complete the existing R&D network of the group dedicated to fast growing 3D printing market.

Sartomer, a Business Line of Arkema, is a pioneer in designing engineered resins for UV-curable additive manufacturing marketed under its N3xtDimension brand. These photo-cure 3D printing materials yield products with thermoplastic-like mechanical properties for applications such as dental, sports and electronics. In this advanced R&D lab, Sartomer and its partners will further develop cutting-edge 3D printing resins through innovative material research and collaboration.

The Excellence will house most UV based technologies: stereolithography (SLA), Digital Light Processing (DLP), and Multi Jet Printing (MJP) to name a few. It provides a collaborative space for chemists and application engineers to develop custom resins for customer needs.

"Sartomer is an historic partner for 3D printing pioneers. We're launching the 3D Printing Center of Excellence to deepen our support of the visionaries working to develop innovative 3D printed materials," Arkema said in a press release. (RR)
