Last Tuesday, ARMOR Group unveiled a new additive manufacturing facility to a savvy selected range of guests. ARMOR is one of the companies that we have been following closely since its first steps into the additive manufacturing market through its KIMYA brand, and so far, one thing remains striking: the company is always willing to invest extra miles to stand out from the crowd, and it perfectly works.
Today, on a surface of 1200m2, ARMOR presents a characterization laboratory – simply obvious for a materials producer – This laboratory will serve R&D on new materials based formulation chemistry, a production workshop that incorporates two extrusion lines and a twin screw line as well as a print lab with more than 20 printers for the production of pre-series and prototypes.
“The development strategy of the Kimya offering prioritizes the automotive, rail, aeronautics and maritime sectors. These key industrial sectors are currently facing the major challenge of transforming their industrial production using additive manufacturing. This new technology is able to respond to the issues of material wastage and specificity of both materials and applications that mass production has been struggling to come to terms with“, explains Pierre-Antoine Pluvinage, Business Development Director at ARMOR 3D.
A production side that aims to meet manufacturers’ requirements
“Additive manufacturing is now more than ever focusing on industry, as it meets the demands for new materials and new applications being expressed by our industrial customers. The challenge for ARMOR 3D through the Kimya offering is to be able to develop these new materials in line with each customers’ particular specifications.” explains Nicolas Morand, RDI & Industrialization Manager – ARMOR 3D.
That’s why, let’s remind it, ARMOR GROUP offers a comprehensive range of services when it comes to materials: OWA, materials line designed for recycled filaments, and a 360° solution of materials formulation and finished parts production.
