Arkema announces new partnerships with industry leaders to co-design next generation 3D printing materials and solutions

Arkema partners with industry leaders such as EOS, HP and Stratasys to continue to provide customers with more sustainable, high-performance additive manufacturing materials. Especially in the case of biosourced Rilsan® polyamide 11, Arkema recently announced a further reduction in the carbon footprint of all its global brands. This initiative reduces the carbon footprint by approximately 70% compared to conventional polyamide resins produced using fossil raw materials and conventional energy sources.

HP, one of the major leaders in the 3D printing industry, has worked closely with Arkema to launch the HP 3D High Reusability PA12S powered by Arkema. This is designed for HP Multi Jet The new polyamide 12 powder designed by Fusion Technology is mainly used in the production of functional parts in various industries. For example, this new polyamide 12 material enables the production of parts for cosmetic applications with an excellent look and feel while offering the highest reusability rate compared to other polyamide 12 powders on the market.

GENERA collaborates with Arkema to bring 3D printed personalized glasses to the consumer goods market. This breakthrough solution paves the way for unparalleled personalization, enhanced comfort and functional mechanical performance to complement the wearer's style and preferences. The collaboration leverages GENERA’s fully automated DLP process and unique RFID chip to ensure optimized printing, cleaning and post-processing parameters, and utilizes N3xt Dimension® UV-curable material N3D-GEN976 to provide a perfect surface finish, unlocking a wide range of available colors and customizable Mechanical behavior.
