A co-branded website reportedly uses Shapeways’ proprietary technology and allows consumers to learn more about Forward AM materials.
Forward AM, a BASF company, has partnered with Shapeways to offer customers the ability to order 3D-printed items online made with Forward AM material. A co-branded website reportedly uses Shapeways’ proprietary technology and allows consumers to learn more about Forward AM materials, upload 3D models, get pricing for the manufacture of finished products, and place an order.
“Our partnership with Shapeways and the use of their technology will allow a broader customer base to create and order high-quality 3D printed prototypes and functional parts online made with our Forward AM material,” said Jim Reddy, managing director for North America with BASF 3D Printing Solutions. “To help accelerate the use of additive manufacturing at scale, we are focusing on making our high-performance materials easily accessible to consumers while leveraging the manufacturing and services capabilities of our global 3D printing network.”
