Ultra Performance Polymer 3D-Printer
Technology
The world’s largest Additive Manufacturing (AM) printer for ultra high-performance polymers is designed to revolutionize production of large machine parts through a circular, sustainable process. Printers installed at industrial sites will eliminate the need to purchase large volumes of spare parts. Instead, the parts will be printed and replaced quickly, leading to great reduction and savings in time, material and downtime costs. At the end of the product lifecycle, materials will be efficiently recycled and reused, minimizing environmental impact.
Market
The solution taps into the spare parts market, which is evaluated at 30 billion NOK. This end-to-end system sets a new standard for high-performance AM targeting automobile, energy and aerospace industries.
Uniqueness
The printer integrates advanced material characterization, real-time print digitalization, and quality monitoring to ensure precision and repeatability. Moreover, this is the first in the world printer capable of working with advanced materials such as ultra high-performance polymers.
Status
- Maturing unique aspects of the technology.
- Seeking commercial partners.
