Essentium Partners with Magigoo to Improve 3D Printing Bed Adhesives

Essentium Inc.’s all-in-one 3D printing adhesives are specifically tailored for Essentium’s portfolio of materials and the Essentium High Speed Extrusion (HSETM) 3D printing platform to provide manufacturers with a reliable adhesion solution for industrial-scale 3D printing. Essentium worked with Magigoo, a provider of 3D printing bed adhesive solutions, to improve the bed adhesion of different engineering-grade polymers.

The Essentium 3D Printing Bed Adhesives – Powered by Magigoo are designed to work with heated beds. The adhesives stick the print firmly in place while printing and then release the print once the bed has cooled. According to the company, this allows for consistent and reliable printing without needing to use rafts, tapes, harsh chemicals or other solutions. Essentium is introducing a large-sized (120 ml) adhesive to meet the growing demand for industrial 3D printed parts.

Essentium has developed four bed adhesives, including standard which is used for a variety of 3D printing filaments; nylon filaments that works with polyamide filaments; flexible filaments designed to work with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filaments; and high-temperature filaments for high printing temperatures.
