Prodways stands in a strong position with technical and material solutions. In order to strenghten this position, the company started a cooperation with Arkema.
Supporting 3D sector with material, print and postprint solutions, Prodways engaged a partnership with Arkema. In that sense two firms will benefit from their know how.
Olivier Coulet, laser sintering materials Director and founder of Exceltec, confirms: “The Arkema and Prodways teams have worked together on the co-development of laser sintering powders for more than 10 years. After many successes, such as the launch of new PA12 powder formulas, the signing of the partnership with Prodways will be the natural continuation of those developments and will offer promising opportunities for special grades, markets, and services in 3D printing.”
Adrien Lapeyre, Market Manager for Arkema’s Technical Polymers business line, stated: “We are convinced that the Prodways open platform program will accelerate the time-to-market of new powders that will meet the numerous challenges of 3D printing.”
The aim of this partnership, which combines Arkema’s expertise in polymer materials and Prodways’ 3D printers, is to develop new, complete and personalized laser sintering solutions for any industrial application, from automotive to aerospace and medical.
