A Strategic Partnership

Photocentric and Forward AM are working together to deliver the next generation of 3D printing materials ensuring that high performance end-use parts can be produced consistently, cost-effectively and in the volumes necessary for mass manufacture

BENEFITS FOR YOU WORKING WITH PHOTOCENTRIC AND FORWARD AM

Economic and Large-Scale Production at a Competive Cost

Photocentric is a manufacturer of photopolymer resins, production parts and 3D printers. Our collaboration started back in 2018 as we share the same desire to establish Additive Manufacturing as a true manufacturing option, to be considered alongside more traditional methods of manufacturing such as injection moulding, not only for small series, but also for the production of large components. This continues to be our passion.
 
Joining our combined expertise in polymer manufacturing, we have created resins with higher performance and solutions better suited for end-use applications. The partnership led to the production of the dedicated Ultracur3D® Daylight Line resins, designed to work in conjunction with Photocentric’s unique LCD technology. It has enabled Forward AM customers access to the visionary large platform machines perfectly suited for industrial Additive Manufacturing at scale.

“Forward AM is a well-known, well respected, global company. Photocentric is an innovative, agile company. Together, through our strategic partnership we can offer companies a real option to make end use parts, using photopolymer resin, on a large scale, at an acceptable cost. The value that the alliance brings us is a real power of collaboration, our shared vision, values and combined intellectual rigor enables us to drive real change in the additive industry.”

“We are strongly connected through a long-standing strategic partnership with Photocentric underpinned by our shared goals. We are combining the talents and deep chemical and engineering understanding of our teams which work closely together on developing novel 3D printing materials best fitted to exploit the advantages of unique Photocentric machines. Together, we aim to meet the very high performance requirements of our customers with chemistry, materials and hardware that are even better suited for end-use applications.”

USE CASE

3D Printing for Model Railways with Ultracur3D® EPD 2006

Cirp, a 3D Printing Bureau were approached by modellbahn.blog, a specialist online model railway retailer that offers service and a wide range of spares and accessories to model railway enthusiasts. They saw an opportunity to create very small loudspeakers that would add audio or enhance the existing audio capability of the model locomotives. These loudspeakers would be designed to sit within the chassis of the locomotive models and integrate with the existing electronics.
