Zecotek Optoelectronics is a technology-leading optoelectronic company in the medical, industrial and scientific supplies markets. Today it announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Pte has signed a contract with the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the National Academy of Sciences in Yerevan, Armenia. A cooperation agreement stating that they will jointly develop a series of high-performance powder metal alloys for 3-D printing.
The institute will collaborate with Zecotek and LT-Pyrkal to improve this advanced technology by manufacturing a metal hydride alloy. The focus of this collaboration is to maximize their leadership in powder metal materials used in 3-D printing technology.
"By working with the industry's leading institute of physical chemistry and LT-Pyrkal, Zecotek already has a solid foundation for manufacturing 3-D printing materials." Dr. AF Zerrouk, Chairman and CEO of Zecotek Optoelectronics, said: The tripartite cooperation formed between them is very meaningful for 3-D printing engineering. The Physical Chemistry Laboratory is a leading institution for the research of new materials and has a pivotal position in the traditional 3-D rapid printing technology industry. This agreement not only Make Zecotek a leader in the 3-D printing industry, and we are committed to becoming the leader in new 3-D printing materials. We can't wait for them to cooperate. "
Levon A. Tavadyan, Director of the Physical Chemistry Laboratory, said: "The collaboration between these three institutions will focus on the development of 3D printing systems and high-performance materials in the addition of printing technology. The ability to provide new materials for 3D speed printing makes us very Excited and excited to work with Zecotek, a leading supplier of powder metals, alloys and hydride materials for the 3D industry. "These new materials will be newly invented and mass-produced by Zecotek and LT-Pyrkal for laser sintering 3D Printing technology.
The Institute of Physical Chemistry is a leading institution in advanced physical chemistry research. Located in Yerevan, Armenia, it was founded in the 1860s and took shape in 1975. The institute has made great achievements in researching the conversion of hydrocarbons and raw materials into solid, usable products (self-propagating high temperature law).
Zecotek and LT-Pyrkal have invented and applied a patented, high-speed 3D printing technology for a unique method for printing high-performance metal alloys. The development of new powder metal, alloy, hydride and other fast printing materials will become the key for these companies to seek high productivity, commercialization, high quality and high efficiency fast printing and rapid manufacturing.
