At the request of a number of companies in the local stakeholder group, EuraMaterials has created an offer based around the 3D printer it has on its site. The aim of this offer is to make the printer available to companies wishing to carry out R&D tests before investing in the technology.
The printer available at EuraMaterials is a POLLEN printer, able to print a wide variety of industrial materials to create functional parts. The machine works with plastic granules (including elastomers) and can print 2 different materials at the same time thanks to its 4 injection nozzles. The resulting parts meet industrial quality requirements.
We can also work with partners to print parts and help companies innovate using AM.
A concrete example:
EuraMaterials is currently carrying out tests for a company working for the automotive sector, by printing a connector using a new material (see pictures below). EuraMaterials is responsible for obtaining the material and printing the connector so that the company can carry out its own tests. If the tests are conclusive, this company will invest in a new printer to develop its product range.
