ViscoTec Makes Liquids and Pastes Compatible With 3D Printing Thanks to Innovative Printheads

ViscoTec offers high-precision dosing pumps and systems that are used all over the world. Customer satisfaction is always at the forefront of the company’s activities, which is why it has enjoyed considerable success since its founding back in 1997. Starting in Bavaria, ViscoTec’s international expansion began in 2009 with the founding of ViscoTec America in Georgia, followed by the establishment of a branch in Singapore in 2011, China in 2013, India two years later and finally ViscoTec France in Mérignac in 2019. Locations in Hong Kong and Denmark followed in 2022 and 2023. The dosing systems and components are used around the globe to dose, fill or remove liquids and pastes. ViscoTec is also applying this principle to 3D printing, thereby opening up a new group of materials for additive manufacturing. The company’s printheads can bring liquids and pastes into three-dimensional form. This approach is particularly interesting for silicones, ceramic pastes and polyurethanes.
