For the 3D printing market to provide professional custom 3D printing wire, color and product performance can be customized
· Wires contain high quality Clariant additives, pigments and masterbatches
All materials are ready-to-use printing materials
Muttenz, Switzerland, December 6, 2017 - Clariant, the global leader in specialty chemicals, today announced the launch of a new 3D printing business to meet the demand for high quality and custom 3D printed wire in the rapidly changing 3D printing market.
3D printing is rapidly evolving, with an average annual global growth rate of over 28% over the past seven years and total global sales of $ 6,063 million in 2017 ("Wallis Report 2017" 1). 3D printing has grown from a Niche technology has evolved into an industry that produces unique products - for example, more than 90% of the plastic covers currently used for in-the-ear hearing aids are manufactured using 3D printing technology (The Wallis Report 2017) Products manufactured using 3D printing technology Often complex end-use components such as air ducts, drones, light fixtures, and manufacturing equipment components, the performance of these components can be enhanced by tailor-made, high-quality ready-to-use materials to withstand long-term wear and tear .
