Technology Opportunity
99% of raw materials for polymer 3D printing are thermoplastics
Thermoplastics have inferior material characteristics when compared to thermosets
Chemical Resistance
Thermal Stability
Mechanical PerformanceSlide3
Technology Innovation
Array of novel 3D printed
thermoset
materialsHighly chemically resistant
Very thermally stableBetter mechanical performance (compared to thermoplastics)Performance 3D printable thermoset resins, cost effective formulations, reduced processing time, and improved properties in comparison to thermoplastics
Tensile Strength (MPa) vs. Different Formulation
Elastic Modulus (
GPa
) vs. Different FormulationSlide4
Technology Advantage
Broad Viscosity Range of Formulations are PrintableSlide5
Technology Features
Numerous cellulose thermoset resin formulations have been tested;
