DYNEON INVESTS IN A 3D LABORATORY PRINTER TO PRINT FULLY FLUORINATEO POLYMERS

摘要

The 3M Company, Dyneon, is investing in research on additive manufacturing of fluoropolymer components with the purchase of a new 3D laboratory printer at its Burgkirchen site in Germany. The material specialist is using a new patent-pending technology with which fully fluorinated polymers such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) can be processed by means of 3D printing. The objective is to bring the new additive process to the production stage.
