Additive Manufacturing

Evonik offers a comprehensive suite of high-performance materials tailored for manufacturers using today’s advanced, polymer-based 3D-printing technologies. Our commitment to innovation can be seen in our diverse product portfolio, which caters to customers in a variety of industrial applications, and our solutions that focus on efficiency and quality.

We are proud to have pioneered the delivery of the first polyamide 12 powder for Powder Bed Fusion back in 1996, setting the benchmark for quality in 3D-printed polymer materials. Our ongoing dedication to the Additive Manufacturing (AM) market is further demonstrated through the development of new material systems for Binder Jetting, which include a combination of specialized powders and innovative binders. This expertise is also applied in our high-performance filaments, notably those based on PEEK and bioresorbable polymers, as well as inorganic particles designed for Material Extrusion.

Our RESOMER^® line is a testament to our leadership in biodegradable polymers, widely recognized in the medical technology industry for its biocompatibility, controlled degradation, and tunable properties. With over 30 years of commercial use, RESOMER^® has established a reputation for quality and reliability in a range of applications, from orthopedic and cardiovascular devices to wound healing and tissue engineering.

The recent introduction of RESOMER^® Filaments marks a significant advancement in the AM field, offering bioresorbable materials with adjustable mechanical properties and degradation rates for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). These filaments are engineered for precision, catering to specific application requirements, whether that involves high strength and modulus or enhanced flexibility and elongation.

In printable resins, our VISIOMER^® brand encompasses a selection of specialty methacrylates that are perfectly aligned with the demands of 3D printing. These monomers are crucial in achieving the desired properties of printing resins, such as stability, hardness, chemical resistance, and flexibility without compromising on reactivity or causing shrinkage during curing. VISIOMER^® monomers are versatile, serving as both reactive diluents and crosslinkers, thus enabling the creation of materials with improved mechanical and chemical resistance.

Our innovation extends to VESTANAT^® TMDI which is used as a building block for printable inks, while the AEROSIL^® range, including surface treated structure-modified fumed silicas to enhance filler loading and performance in various applications, including dental composites.

Evonik's INFINAM^® represents our dedication to infinite possibilities in 3D applications, delivering custom-designed, high-performance materials that redefine the boundaries of AM.
