High-performance materials giant Henkel is entering the 3D printing industry and developing wire and powder materials for 3D printing.
It is reported that Henkel entered the 3D printing industry because of a previous environmental protection business, using light-curing acrylic, epoxy, polyurethane and hot-melt adhesives to produce materials. Later, they found that these materials can also be applied to additive manufacturing projects, and the market has a bright future. Therefore, Henkel decided to vigorously move towards the 3D printing industry and develop a special material solution for additive manufacturing.
"Through our extensive material portfolio and our large customer base in different industries, we have the ability to provide 3D printing solutions for companies in various fields," said Mike Olosky, senior vice president of Henkel Adhesive Technologies. "We believe in 3D printing technology. The prospects are bright, and we hope to reach their full potential by identifying suitable customer groups. "
