High Performance Materials
High Performance Materials
With Cubic Ink®, ALTANA is offering High Performance Materials for use in any resin-based additive manufacturing technologies including DLP, LCD, SLA and others. Our focus is on materials that push the limits of current photopolymers with special attention to fast printing and superior final part performance such as reduced ageing, good chemical resistance and flame retardancy.
Materials for your AM-System
Materials for your AM-System
As a pioneer in material development, ALTANA focuses on industrial application and customer value. Cubic Ink® 3D-printing materials are designed such that they can be readily adapted to customer's AM-systems in terms of processability and performance. Our strategy enables us to meet application-specific requirements from customers that demand end-use part properties.
Added value through broad formulation and upscaling know-how
Added value through broad formulation and upscaling know-how
Cubic Ink® knows how to balance crucial fluid parameters such as low viscosity, pot-life stability with fast and accurate printing. Thanks to this it is even possible to go from resin-printing to material-jetting vers versa without changing the property dominating chemistry.
