formnext 2019 November 25, 2019December 2, 2019 | The Essentium Team Share We had an amazing time at formnext 2019 in Frankfurt, and a successful launch of the Essentium HSE 180•S Series and our high-temperature materials. The feedback from customers to our uniquely revolutionary HSE 3D Printer was fantastic. One of the things I personally found mesmerizing in talking to customers about the machine was their intuitive reception of our directed heat. The HSE utilizes directed or targeted heat. This difference is critical. First, there are energy savings. Why waste precious energy? Secondly, when utilizing high-temp materials, it is the combination of speed with heat directed at the part which leads to better cohesion of the polymer layers. Melting the polymers at the right place, or to say it more formulaically: the best path to achieve strong parts is Quality Materials + Speed + Targeted Heat. So, we are bringing the heat, but only to where it is needed. While additive manufacturing is starting to play an integral part in manufacturers’ production lines, broad adoption has been hampered by access to a broad set of materials that meet customer requirements for reliability, repeatability, and performance of 3D printed parts in industrial environments. It’s that challenge that motivated us to formulate our new line of high-temperature materials, which include PEEK, High-Temperature Nylon (HTN), HTN-CF25 and HTN-Z (ESD safe). These materials are designed to help remove that barrier by delivering high heat, chemical and fatigue resistance, and high strength for industrial applications. Congrats to the entire Essentium team on a great formnext 2019, and a special thanks to everyone who came by our stand, and to our existing and new global commercial relationships for your continued trust in our portfolio of products. Essentium’s portfolio of products offer industry leading solutions tailored to help you increase your business agility with a bold new way of approaching the manufacturing floor. We will continue to innovate to help you maximize value. I am already looking forward to next year!

January 20, 2021January 22, 2021 | The Essentium Team The Essentium HSE: A Leading 3D Printer for Industrial Use Essentium’s unique High Speed Extrusion technology magnifies the power of additive manufacturing by enabling speed and strength, at scale, to meet the volume production needs that other 3D printers just cannot match. In fact, the Essentium HSE 3D Printer was designed for industrial use by manufacturing and semiconductor professionals who could not find all the […]
November 30, 2020January 21, 2021 | The Essentium Team Injection Molding vs 3D Printing: Complementary, Not Competing Technologies Much has been written about how additive manufacturing can be a replacement for injection molding technology to mass produce end-use parts at scale. While it is true that advances in 3D printing have moved the quantity needle farther to the right, especially when using high speed extrusion technology on a fleet of 3D printers operating […]
November 24, 2020January 14, 2021 | The Essentium Team Optimizing Part Design for Speed and Material Savings With High Speed Additive Manufacturing—Part 2 In Part 1 we presented several basic best practices to optimize part design for high speed extrusion to maximize 3d printer extrusion rate. We learned that by avoiding sharp corners and merging linkable bodies where possible, we can maximize print speed, and just as importantly, maintain a consistent material temperature and flow to print the […]
