Airtech’s Dahltram Resins Approved for Use on All Thermwood LSAM 3D Printers

Airtech Advanced Materials Group has been extruding and compounding resins for nearly 50 years and has expanded its offering with a line of resins for additive manufacturing (AM). In its latest collaboration, Dahltram resins are used for large-scale printing on Thermwood Corp.’s Large-Scale Additive Manufacturing (LSAM) platforms — validating the mechanical performance and performance in use at Airtech’s company headquarters.

The company says its Dahltram range of resins are suitable for multiple print platforms, providing production flexibility with end-use material validation. As this partnership supports advancements in AM, Airtech says it is continuing to demonstrate efficacy in composite fabrication with over 300 autoclave cycles completed to date. With extensive mechanical characterization data, the company says its resins are well suited for composite fabrication, as well as metal fabrication and direct-to-part applications.

As a manufacturer of industrial, large-scale 3D printers and 5-axis routers, Thermwood’s LSAM technology is said to deliver high-performance tooling, masters, patterns, molds and fixtures at high throughput to near net shape, with precision and vacuum integrity. As this partnership continues to produce technological advances, Airtech says it will actively maintain its collaboration with Thermwood in the development of new materials and expanded functionality.
