Huntsman Advanced Materials

Additive manufacturing (AM) systems that build parts in photopolymer were among the first to emerge in the late 1980s.

Micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technology is at the heart of a new rapid manufacturing system being launched by Huntsman Advanced Materials – that’s right, the company that has long been a provider of materials for rapid prototyping applications, like the recently introduced RenShape SL 7820, a white photopolymer resin that produces solid black models with no additional finishing. Speaking of the rationalization behind the development of the new system, called the “Araldite Digitalis,” Phillippe Michaud, Global Technology Director of Huntsman Advanced Materials, said, “Huntsman Advanced Materials has a long history of innovation and experience in UV curing materials.   After more than 20 years working with design engineers, we understand the daily issues confronting manufacturing companies.
