– Henkel and Carbon extend strategic partnership to offer customers superior materials and printing capabilities
Customers will have more choice than ever when using Carbon DLS, enabling teams to build better products in less time, from design to production
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Nov. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — FORMNEXT — Henkel and Carbon today announced the expansion of their strategic relationship to offer several new resins, which are expected to be available on Carbon’s “idea to production” in 2023. This follows the successful launch in 2020 of LOCTITE IND405 Clear, a clear, tough resin used in production applications such as cases and casings.
Loctite IND147, fully validated for shipment from Formnext 2022, is a photopolymer resin with high stiffness and high temperature resistance. It was created for product designers and engineers who need a quick and easy way to print molds, fixtures, and manufacturing tools with smooth surfaces and precise dimensions used in high-temperature applications in the automotive, consumer, and industrial markets. Other resins from the expanding partnership are also expected to be available in 2023.
“The expansion of our partnership with Carbon follows the success we have had together and builds on our shared focus on production applications and better end-use parts for our customers,” said Sam Bail, Henkel 3D Printing Sales Director. “Carbon’s platform allows us to offer LOCTITE 3D printing’s unique industrial resins, creating more value for our customers.”
This strategic partnership builds on the unique combination of Carbon’s open materials platform and DLS printing process with Henkel’s materials expertise, providing a portfolio of resins and expanding end-use part possibilities, in less time. .
“We have shared great success with Henkel and are delighted to further expand our partnership with these new resins,” said Jason Rolland, Senior Vice President of Carbon Materials. “With this partnership, Carbon has the most comprehensive portfolio of one-part, dual-cure resins in the industry, providing an open solution for customers to create better products in less time.”
