XYZprinting Cements its Commitment to Industrial Printing With Next-Generation SLS 3D Printer, MfgPro236 xS

In 2019, Asian 3D printer manufacturer XYZprinting took a big leap into industrial additive manufacturing with the launch of different professional technologies, including Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). Two years after this launch and after an extremely positive reception of the machine, the company has decided to go a step further and reaffirm its goal to be a company that offers industrial technologies that allow repeatability as well as a wide range of high performance materials. To achieve all this, in September during Rapid TCT in Chicago, the Taiwan-based company presented its new MfgPro236 xS machine and is now launching it on the market during Formnext. It is also announcing its commitment to SLS technology by offering a wide range of materials thanks to the agreement signed with the chemical company BASF. With this new solution, the company seeks to consolidate its position in the field of SLS 3D printing, reaching more potential industrial users looking to meet the demanding needs of different applications, such as aerospace, automotive, manufacturing and engineering.

The collaboration agreement between XYZprinting and the Forward AM division of BASF chemistry, has allowed them to achieve the objectives especially with respect to the expansion of manufacturing materials. On this, Fernando Hernandez, Managing Director EMEA at XYZprinting, commented, “Our collaboration with BASF Forward AM is the essential link to enable more 3D printing solutions for different commercial applications. XYZprinting offers a wide range of technologies, and now, thanks to BASF Forward AM’s unique range of advanced polymers, we are creating value at a much more competitive cost. We are confident that our innovative 3D printers combined with premium materials are taking this technology to the next level of excellence.”

For his part, François Minec, Managing Director at BASF 3D Printing Solutions, expanded, “The strengthened collaboration between XYZprinting and BASF Forward AM will enable industrial users across various Additive Manufacturing technologies to benefit from our high-performance materials in combination with XYZprinting solutions – for prototyping or direct manufacturing.” Among the advanced materials on display at the Chicago event were Ultrasint® PA6 MF, Ultrasint® PA11 Black, Ultracur3D® RG and Ultracur3D® ST.
