CEAD (Delft, Netherlands) a global company in manufacturing advanced 3D printing technology, announces a new partnership with TGS (Mýto, Czech Republic), a dynamic advanced engineering firm. TGS successfully launched its new Flexbot Research XL platform, which was installed by the CEAD team last September.

The Flexbot Research XL, offering a print volume of up to 3 × 1 × 2.5 meters, was introduced during an open house event hosted by TGS in early December. Attendees witnessed live 3D printing demonstrations with the Flexbot printing using Airtech Advanced Materials Group’s (Huntington Beach, Calif., U.S.) Dahltram T-100GF, a fiberglass composite reinforced with recycled-grade co-polyester resin (see “CEAD qualifies Airtech Dalhtram resins for use on all AM Flexbot platforms”). 

TGS plans to leverage the Flexbot platform to offer 3D printing services and will also serve as a reseller for CEAD’s Flexbot and extruders in the Czech Republic and nearby regions. The company aims to provide its clients with time and cost savings, making use of a wide range of materials from commodity materials reinforced with glass or natural fibers, to high-performance materials like polyetheretherketone (PEEK) for aerospace applications.

“The open day event highlighted once again the importance of the strategic partnership between CEAD and TGS,” Andrea Baldolini, sales team lead at CEAD, says. “This synergy will leverage our competencies to support customers in the implementation journey for large-format additive manufacturing solutions in Czeck and Slovakia markets.”
