Arkema recently announced it will open its 3D Printing Center of Excellence, located at its Sartomer Exton, Pa., facility. In the R&D lab, Sartomer and its partners can reportedly further develop cutting-edge 3D printing resins through innovative material research and collaboration. This new center intends to complete Arkema’s worldwide R&D network dedicated to the development of advanced material for additive manufacturing.

The center will reportedly house most UV-based technologies, and provide a collaborative space for chemists and application engineers to develop custom resins for customer needs.

"Sartomer is a historic partner for 3D printing pioneers,” said Sumeet Jain, global director, 3D printing. "We're launching the 3D Printing Center of Excellence to deepen our support of the visionaries working to develop innovative 3D printed materials."

“3D printing will further expand in to mass manufacturing through innovative advanced material technologies and partnerships with market leaders,” said Guillaume de Crevoisier global business director coordinating the 3D Printing activities for Arkema.
