Essentium has announced the launch of a 15% carbon fibre-reinforced polyphenylene sulphide (PPS) filament made using LUVOCOM 3F resin from LEHVOSS Group.
The company made the announcement at Formnext, where it also revealed a partnership with ECCO Shoes & introduced GrabCAD Print for the H350 SAF system.
The XiP adopts the same technology from Nexa3D's NXE 400 and NXD 200 systems in a bid to bring “high-speed, high-precision polymer 3D printing” to a “smaller footprint and more accessible price point.”
The company has announced the expansion of its partnership with Desktop Metal by investing in additional additive manufacturing systems to grow its on-demand 3D printing services.
The company says the move emboldens its belief in the “significance and future potential” AM holds as a “key supplementary production method in plastic processing.”
3D printer retailer MatterHackers has been awarded a $5 million IDIQ contract to deliver desktop 3D printing systems to the US military over the next five years.
