Essentium has introduced a partnership with 3D printing filament producer 3D-Gasoline, which is able to see the businesses intention to simplify the procurement of supplies.
The partnership consolidates 3D-Gasoline’s manufacturing to Essentium’s AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 licensed services in Texas, and ensures the availability of supplies is finished by way of a single supplier. This, the companions say, will guarantee environment friendly scaling and supply of US-manufactured supplies, with clients accessing the portfolios of each corporations.
3D-Gasoline has a longstanding relationship with NatureWorks, a producer of low-carbon polylactic acid biopolymers derived from renewable sources, whereas Essentium has a portfolio of dozens filaments that features excessive temperature nylons, PEEK, PEKK, and carbon-fibre strengthened grades. With the inclusion of 3D-Gasoline’s plant-based supplies, Essentium will supply filament that helps to cut back the carbon footprint of the FDM 3D printing market. 3D-Gasoline can also be mentioned to be leaning on Essentium’s experience in fibre reinforcement to introduce new merchandise, and there are plans to develop new spool designs and enhance transport effectivity, with merchandise ensuing from this collaboration to be branded as ‘3D-Gasoline powered by Essentium.’
“3D-Gasoline clients anticipate prime quality, dependable supplies, and a very good 3D printing expertise. That’s why our determination to accomplice with Essentium didn’t occur calmly,” commented John Schneider, CEO and co-founder at 3D-Gasoline. “Essentium’s dedication to product high quality is evidenced by its ISO9001 and AS9100D certifications in addition to its ITAR registration – one thing that an rising variety of our clients have been requesting and anticipating of a US-manufactured product.

Although Essentium has expanded its product providing to incorporate {hardware} and providers, supplies improvement and provide has remained a key focus of the corporate. Earlier this 12 months, it introduced a ‘breakthrough’ duratem materials for high-performance 3D printing, and later launched a polycarbonate 3D printing materials in a position to stand up to -60°C. After final 12 months’s Formnext, TCT additionally reported that Essentium was to launch an on-demand additive manufacturing service, which the corporate confirmed in March.
