At RAPID + TCT next week, Dallas-based additive manufacturing polymer resin supplier, Adaptive3D Technologies will launch the world's highest-strain 3D-printable photopolymer.
In partnership with several Fortune 500 companies, Adaptive3D has developed a proprietary chemistry for photo-curable resins with a strain capacity of 450%, said to be 115% higher than the nearest competitor, for tougher materials and more durable printed parts.
"Adaptive3D has spent the past two years developing an advanced proprietary chemistry that gives us a platform to now rapidly infuse the market with a series of high performance production quality photopolymers," said CEO Walter Voit, PhD. “This event will open up a new class of high strain materials to the Additive Manufacturing community and we invite everyone to join us at RAPID + TCT 2018.”

Materials are often cited as one of the biggest hurdles facing 3D printing adoption in terms of material performance, cost and sustainability. Adaptive3D hopes to combat the demand for high-performance polymers with the launch of its first products, including the highest elongation 3D printable photopolymer at RAPID + TCT booth #2529 on April 24th.
Kial Gramley, VP Sales & Marketing added: “We believe that material performance is the key that is going to unlock the true potential of Additive Manufacturing. We focus on tough materials that combine strength with high elongation and, as a material supplier, we do not lock our customers into any platform like most companies in this space; we just compete on performance.”
RAPID + TCT will take place on 24-26th April at the Fort Worth Convention Center, Fort Worth, TX. To attend, register here.
