有限公司vestro launches filament line

Covestro开发了新的树脂,细丝和粉末,以提供每种常见的3D打印机。

The company hopes it can drive the industry and bring mass manufacturing to the 3D printing world with a range of high-quality products that can supply this generation of printers and the next.

高质量的细丝是迈向大规模制造的主要障碍之一,尽管它远非唯一的问题。印刷速度,解决方案和其他许多问题都使我们成为一个行业,但我们正在到达那里。如果Covestro这样的人可以修复材料科学方面,那么这将是朝着这种乌托邦愿景迈出的重要一步。

3D printing could take a step forward with new materials

我们需要更多材料

常规制造可以调用3000多种材料,而添加剂制造只能支配30个材料。雷电竞充值那需要改变。

该公司已在德国Leverkusen的总部开设了一个3D打印实验室。在这里,它将在其合作伙伴的帮助下烹饪下一代细丝和添加剂制造材料。雷电竞充值

Covestro具有许多不同的融合细丝制造材料,包括柔性热塑性聚氨酯。由于其高耐磨性和弹性,这是汽车和鞋类行业中的一种流行材料。它还在聚合物的帮助下还会产生更刚性的聚碳酸酯。据说最终的细丝提供了出色的韧性和稳定性。

Lighting manufacturers, designers and other industries are queuing up to try this new material that can withstand high temperatures and should provide a sturdy and durable product. The surface finish is what will mark this material apart, though. If it can provide a match for mass manufactured goods, then it could help boutique designers create high-end products and eventually make it to a large-scale production line.

A way forward for SLS?

有限公司vestro also offers TPU powders that offer a number of other advantages over other materials when it comes to Selective Laser Sintering. It is generally considered to be stronger and more elastic than alternatives, so these powders are sure to find a home in the industrial sector that is working hard on SLS.

It has potential to become a genuine mass manufacturing technique, but poor surface finish and porosity of the prints have presented problems. Higher quality base materials could certainly be one answer.

机器会有改善,没有办法that the materials are going to fix every issue on their own. But with developments on both sides of the fence then we could see progress sooner rather than later.

整个范围即将到来

The company is also working on materials for use in stereolithography, digital light process and inkjet printing. It is not simply working on consistent and high quality materials. It intends to offer resins tailored to specific tasks.

它将使用异氰酸酯,多元醇和树脂的特定食谱来创建梯度材料,从而有可能使3D打印在某些任务中更具吸引力。该行业正在为新化合物大声疾呼,这绝对是朝着正确方向迈出的一步。

我们很高兴Covestro在这些下一代材料上全力以赴,我们确信我们将看到Leverkusen Lab的出色结果。我们将密切关注。
