These specialty resin grades have the elastomeric properties required for additive manufacturing as well as include – depending on the grades -- FDA food contact compliance, biocompatibility testing, ignition resistance and glossy and matte finishes.
Trinseo resins are presently used by customers in the CEM industries of medical, electrical, lighting and consumer electronics sectors.
Both CEM and Advanc3D Materials have been interested in providing filament under brands that are known and trusted. By offering filament through Advan3D Materials, CEM is making it easier for our existing and new customers to access our brands which are trusted by the marketplace and approved for application use. Customers can use 3D printing with the same grades approved for injection molding, thus enabling fast prototyping, production of complex parts, and highly customized small production runs in an effective way.
