Arkema marks a milestone in its 3D printing activities with the creation of a commercial platform dedicated to 3D printing materials.
Called “3D printing solutions by Arkema”, this platform will leverage a range of materials created in collaboration with other players of the industry. Furthermore, the platform will facilitate collaborations with existing and new customers, partners as well as equipment manufacturers. We will also assist to the development of new materials of the additive manufacturing industry.
