Henkel aims to steer additive manufacturing toward the mass production of functional parts across various industrial sectors. The company launched a differentiated platform of next-generation resins at Formnext in November 2018. By joining forces with Origin's open materials platform, Henkel will further accelerate the development of materials tailored for 3D printing solutions for end-use parts.
“Our engineering resins address some of the most severe constraints in additive manufacturing at scale,” explained Philipp Loosen, Head of 3D Printing at Henkel. “We have determined that Origin’s innovative programmable photopolymerization (P3) technology offers a complementary technology for our high-performance materials. This partnership has enormous potential for using a wide variety of our resin portfolio in mass additive production, particularly in the healthcare and wellness sector.”
Henkel and Origin showcased some of their silicone-based 3D printed parts at MDM West in Anaheim, California. These silicone-based resins have been tested according to Henkel's protocols based on the biocompatibility standards of ISO-10993. Potential applications range from medical devices and surgical instruments to pre-surgical models, hearing aids, face masks, and more.
