Unveiling of Huntsman additive manufacturing resins at K 2019
23/10/2019
                    The additive manufacturing platform contains three different kinds of urethane-based materials:
- Iroprint F filaments, which are high performance TPU materials, with a consistent diameter, designed for use with fused filament fabrication and other extrusion-based printing methods.
- Iroprint R resins, which are are one-component liquid resin systems for 3D printed via stereolithography, digital light processing and other radiation-curing methods.
- Iroprint P powders, which are high performance, thermoplastic polyurethane, powder-based materials for high speed sintering and selective laser sintering forms of printing.
The company says the additive manufacturing materials were designed with the footwear industry in mind, but that other applications include objects that need to possess rubber-like characteristics such as seals and gaskets, consumer wearables, grips, flexible ducts, grommets, bushings and vibration dampening components.
