For more than two decades, Stratasys has helped customers
engineer durable, highly repeatable 3D printed parts for
high-performance environments leveraging its advanced materials –
including FDM® Nylon 12CF, FDM® TPU 92A, and Antero™ 800NA
PEKK-based material. Under the authorized materials partner
program, Solvay will access exclusive tools and Stratasys expertise
to develop materials aligned with the company’s quality and
performance benchmarks. The partners will share an authorized
partner materials roadmap to guide Solvay’s selection and
development of materials for Stratasys FDM printers.
“Stratasys is committed to expanding our portfolio of advanced,
specialized materials for high performance FDM printers – enabling
manufacturers to readily use 3D printing for production
applications,” said Rich Garrity, President, Americas, for
Stratasys. “By combining our expertise with Solvay, customers can
make use of a broad range of high performance applications – all
while maintaining the level of quality and reliability expected
from Stratasys high-performance FDM consumables.”
“With this strategic partnership, we are combining Stratasys’
leadership in fused deposition modelling 3D printing with Solvay’s
leadership in developing high-performance, AM-ready materials for
the most demanding applications in a large number of industries,”
said Christophe Schramm, Business Manager for Additive
Manufacturing in Solvay’s Specialty Polymers Global Business Unit.
“This is fully in line with Solvay’s ambition to push the limits of
high-performance additive manufacturing.”
