To develop 3D printing materials for finished manufactured goods

Royal DSM has entered into a preferred partnership with Chromatic 3D Materials to introduce thermoset materials for 3D-printing of finished manufactured goods. With the collaboration, DSM further expands its portfolio, now offering the broadest selection of 3D printing materials for the broadest range of printing technologies.

"Additive manufacturing or 3D printing technology has the potential to fundamentally change the way products are manufactured - offering consumers personalized and customized products currently not feasible", says Hugo da Silva, Vice President of Additive Manufacturing at DSM. "This requires that manufacturers have a choice of the best combination of material, printing process and software for their application needs. With this partnership with Chromatic, we can offer our customers industrial-grade thermosets currently not available for additive manufacturing."

Chromatic 3D is one of the few companies that know how to develop technologies to 3D-print with thermosets, a broad class of materials offering adaptability, durability and resilience not possible with thermoplastics used in conventional 3D printing processes.
