DSM Partners with Ultimaker
The recently formed DSM Additive Manufacturing business unit is joining Ultimaker's alliance program.
DSM is partnering with Ultimaker to enable end users to easily 3D print its materials into high-quality parts. Combining its material knowledge with Ultimaker’s 3D printing insight will allow users to print automatically using preconfigured settings available in Ultimaker Cura.
According to DSM, this alliance gives end users access to a broader scope of professional applications. The partnership underlines the company’s additive manufacturing strategy for an ecosystem approach, providing the right material and right platform for specific customer applications.
“Providing customers choices in materials and platforms as they select the right approach for their applications is key to accelerate adoption of 3D printing into industrial manufacturing, beyond prototyping applications,” says Hugo da Silva, vice president of additive manufacturing at DSM. “FFF is beginning to burst out of its niche, and DSM has the breadth of thermoplastics materials, the engineering capability, and the understanding of the market to enable additive manufacturing to move into real manufacturing.”
