Next Gen 3D
Next Generation 3D-Printing
What is it about?
The FFG cooperation and innovation project NextGen3D deals with the materials development for the industrial additive manufacturing. Polyolefins should be developed and optimized for extrusion-based additive manufacturing, as such polymers are not commercially available. The impact strength and the heat deflection temperature of the polyolefins are higher than the normally used polymers for extrusion-based additive manufacturing.
