Airtech resins approved for use on Thermwood 3D printers
Airtech has partnered with Thermwood Corp. to ensure its Dahltram resins meet and exceed the requirements for 3D printing on Thermwood’s LSAM platform.
(Huntington Beach, Calif., U.S.) has expanded its portfolio with a line of resins for additive manufacturing. Airtech partnered with Thermwood Corp. (Dale, Ind., U.S.) — a manufacturer of industrial, large-scale 3D printers and five-axis routers — to ensure Airtech’s Dahltram resins meet and exceed the requirements for 3D printing on Thermwood’s LSAM platform.
Thermwood says its LSAM technology delivers high-performance tooling, masters, patterns, molds and fixtures at high throughput to near net shape, with precision and vacuum integrity. Airtech plans to actively maintain its collaboration with Thermwood in the development of new materials and expanded functionality.
Airtech’s Dahltram resins are used for large scale printing on Thermwood’s LSAM platforms. According to Airtech, the Dahltram resins are well suited for composites fabrication, as well as metal fabrication and direct to part applications. Airtech says they are suitable for multiple print platforms, providing production flexibility with end-use material validation. Airtech has reportedly completed more than 300 autoclave cycles to date.
