Material development

We are specialized in material development for Additive Manufacturing technologies, including Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), Vat Photopolymerization (VPP), Direct Ink Writing (DIW), Binder Jetting (BJ), Robocasting (RC) and electrospinning (ES). Our target is to provide on-demand solutions for advanced applications through custom material compositions to improve feedstock material additivation as well as to introduce advanced properties in final parts.

Thermoplastics

thermoplastics
  • Processability enhancement of a wide range of engineering and bio-based plastics for FFF
  • Nanocomposite development by compounding with multifunctional nanoparticles
  • Application-specific properties (piezoresistive, antimicrobial, stimuli-responsive)

Materials for Photopolymerization

thermoplastics
  • Custom formulation development of (meth)acrylate-based photocurable systems for VPP processes
  • Hybrid organic/inorganic resin development
  • Application-specific properties (bioactive, tuneable haze and light transmitance)

Hydrogels

thermoplastics
  • Custom hydrogel formulations from natural and synthetic polymeric materials
  • Tailored rheological profile for DIW and ES applications

Inorganic Powders

thermoplastics
  • Multimodal, mineral-based powder mixtures for BJ processes
  • Mineral-based pastes and binder systems for RC processes
