Two years ago, Forward AM, the AM brand of BASF and Photocentric partnered together for the development of a photopolymer product line for additive manufacturing. Prior to this partnership, The two companies worked together in 2018 in an effort to establish 3D printing solutions that “replace parts of traditional manufacturing processes such as injection moulding for small series” and enable the production of large components.
Both partners decided to renew their collaboration, to enable the UK-based developer of LCD 3D printing to extend its portfolio of materials.
“We are excited to be furthering our collaborative work with Photocentric,” says Dr. Piotr Bazula, Global Product and New Business Development Manager Liquid Formulation, BASF 3D Printing Solutions. “Our teams enjoy an excellent working relationship underpinned by our shared goals, including our collective desire to offer industry-disruptive solutions to unlock markets which have yet to reap the benefits from additive manufacturing. We look forward to working together to further enable end-use parts to be produced consistently and cost-effectively with 3D printing technologies.”
As a reminder, both teams have already successfully developed Ultracur3D® line of daylight photopolymer resins, designed to work in conjunction with Photocentric’s unique LCD technology. Work is now underway to deliver the next generation of 3D materials ensuring that end-use parts can be produced with higher productivity and lower prices per printed part than ever before.
“Together with Forward AM, we are solving the challenges faced by the additive manufacturing industry and delivering an outstanding value proposition,” says Paul Holt, Managing Director, Photocentric “With an end-to-end solution of software, hardware and chemistry, we provide a pathway to make largescale additive manufacturing a reality across more applications than ever before. Thanks to our unique 3D LCD solution and combined expertise, low-cost end-use parts produced with additive manufacturing are a reality.“
