October 24, 2023 (press release) –

Additive Manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has been gaining popularity in various industries for its ability to produce complex and customized products at a faster rate compared to traditional manufacturing methods. However, the limitations of currently available materials have hindered its full potential. Elkem's technology solution for Additive Manufacturing aims to change that by offering a wide range of high-performance materials that are specifically designed for 3D printing.

So, what makes Elkem's solution stand out? 

Our team of experts has been working tirelessly to develop materials that combine the strength and flexibility of silicones with the precision and accuracy of  Additive Manufacturing. Our solution addresses the challenges faced by the industry, such as thermal resistance, low tensile strength, bio compatibility and limited choices of materials. 

Elkem's solution opens up a whole new world of possibilities in terms of design, functionality, and most importantly durability. 

But that's not all! Elkem's solution also offers significant cost and time savings in the production process. As our materials are specifically designed for Additive Manufacturing, they require minimal post-processing, resulting in reduced overall production time and costs. This not only benefits large scale industrial production but also opens up opportunities for smaller businesses and entrepreneurs to utilize Additive Manufacturing in their projects.
