Through an innovative collaboration, Eastman Chemical Company, a raw materials provider, and Helian Polymers, a leader in the masterbatch and biopolymer industry, will introduce a new low-odor, styrene-free 3D printing solution at the 3D Printshow in London, Sept. 4 to 6.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c3D printing is a fast-growing technology that\u2019s ushering in a new era of manufacturing for health care, transportation and other high-profile industries,\u201d said Alex Dudal, market development representative, Eastman Chemical Company. \u201cThis new, proprietary polymer will bring excellent strength, workability, processing, low odor and aesthetics to 3D printed products.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eastman and Helian\u2019s new offering will provide makers of 3D filaments with a consistent, high-quality product. It will ensure the efficacy of 3D printers, protecting manufacturers\u2019 brand reputations. Finally, it will empower consumers to create strong, functional 3D products through desktop printing.<\/p>\n

Helian Polymers produces 3D printing filaments, under the brand name ColorFabb, in a variety of formulations. The collaboration between Eastman and Helian has resulted in a formulation with toughness, brilliance and temperature resistance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very glad to be working with Eastman on this project,\u201d said Ruud Rouleaux, managing director, Helian Polymers. \u201cThis new offering will open a huge window of opportunity to the 3D printing industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
