nexa3dand Henkel launch new ABS resin for SLA 3D printing

nexa3d, a California-based SLA 3D printer manufacturer, has announced it is working with leading global chemical company汉克尔to develop a line of co-branded photopolymer SLA resins, which will be distributed through Nexa3D’s global channels.

通过新建立的合作伙伴关系,Nexa3D现在加入了Henkel的开放式材料合作伙伴平台。两家公司都旨在利用其在SLA 3D打印技术和性能树脂方面的专业知识,以使用Henkel在NXE400 3D打印机上的材料创建功能零件。它们的第一种材料针对NXE400进行了优化,是使用汉克尔的Lotite材料技术开发的ABS 3D打印树脂。

“Partnering with a great global powerhouse of the caliber of Henkel represents orders of magnitude of progress in our collective abilities to deliver additive manufacturing solutions that push the boundaries of what’s possible with 3D printing for manufacturing,” comments Avi Reichental, Co-founder and CEO of Nexa3D.

“We very much look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with Henkel making industrial-scale 3D printing a reality for manufacturers around the world.”

3D printing industry partnerships at Henkel

Founded in 1876, Henkel has grown to become a multinational chemical company active both in the consumer and industrial sector. It is responsible for developing global adhesive brands such as Sellotape and Loctite, and in 2016, the company entered the 3D printing materials market. Following this, the company also opened a 700 square meter multi-million Euro facility in Ireland to develop new advanced additive materials.

从那以后,汉克(Henkel)继续扩大其在3D印刷行业的合作伙伴关系和立足点。这包括与加利福尼亚州3D打印初创公司的合作起源signed February 2019; the companies have since developed a new耐火的光聚合物,与起源One3D printer.

Additionally, Henkel has also launched its open materials platform for manufacturers of 3D printers, allowing companies to qualify Henkel’s materials with their different additive manufacturing technologies. Nexa3D joins the likes of German 3D printer manufacturerRapid Shapeon the platform, who is working with Henkel todevelop novel 3D printing applications

Nexa 3D由于其开发了各种材料的记录,试图与Henkel合作,这些材料克服了3D打印中使用的常规光聚合物树脂的障碍。因此,Nexa3d现在根据汉克尔的Loctite材料系列提供新的3843-XABS黑色材料。3843-XABS黑色设计具有较高的弯曲和拉伸物理特性,以及高绿色强度和热偏转温度。

The material is intended for a wide variety of applications including mechanical assemblies for robotics and automation machinery, brackets, levers and arms for manufacturing stations, and transportation vehicles parts and assemblies.

Additionally, the two firms are planning to optimize Henkel’s portfolio of 3D printing resins to Nexa3D’s NXE4003D printer, in order to enable the creation of functional parts across a wider range of applications.

“我们很高兴与NexA3D合作,因为我们的光塑料和光弹性材料的Loctite工业产品组合非常适合NXE400系统的高吞吐量,” Simon Mawson,博士解释说。Henkel的增雷电竞充值材制造业负责人。“ NEXA 3D团队在提供强大的解决方案方面拥有良好的记录,我相信我们的合并合作伙伴关系将提供行业所需的生产工具,材料和灵活性。”

nexa3dglobal reseller network

nexa3dNXE400 SLA 3D打印机was introduced atRAPID + TCT 2019。Describing the system, Reichental, who was appointed permanentCEO of Nexa3Din August 2019, stated that “This technology completely blows off the doors for what’s possible in terms of speed and size, and will unleash whole new levels of productivity and optionality for end-users.”

At the国际牙齿表演(IDS)2019年在科隆,Nexa3d也推出了另一个新的SLA系统,即Varseo XL, developed specifically for the dental industry. The company worked alongside German dental device manufacturerBEGO使该系统与Bego的完整牙齿树脂兼容。

Additionally, Nexa3D has recently been expanding its global reseller network. Towards the end of 2019, it partnered withTWeatherford Inc。(TWI),一家总部雷电竞充值位于印第安纳州的增材制造业解决方案提供商,以出售其systems in the Midwest。这是与英国,德国,奥地利,瑞士和俄罗斯的经销商合作的一部分。欧洲扩张, and with布鲁莱在日本。
