Massivit 3D Printing Technologies announced yesterday a new strategic partnership with Sika Deutschland, a global specialty chemicals producer, with the aim to bring to market co-branded specialized resins for high-speed tooling applications produced on the Massivit 10000 additive manufacturing series.

Sika is a global, Swiss concern business group listed on the Swiss stock exchange, founded over 100 years ago, that operates in the construction and sealants industry and is engaged in the development and production of various materials for industrial purposes. Sika is a publicly listed company that generates sales of approximately CHF 11.2 billion per year and is traded on the Swiss stock exchange with a value of about CHF 40 billion.

The first two co-branded materials will be launched at the upcoming JEC World tradeshow in Paris between March 5th-7th and will become available for use with the Massivit 10000 during H2 2024 as follows:

• SikaBiresin CIM 120: an aluminium-filled, epoxy material that provides high-speed tooling for applications that require elevated temperatures
• SikaBiresin CIM 80: a cost-effective material that provides high-speed production for room-temperature tooling applications

The parties intend to enter into a detailed agreement during the aforementioned period.

The Massivit 10000-G system will be printing live throughout the duration of the JEC World show at Massivit’s Booth D41, Hall 6. Visitors will have the opportunity to see large, printed components, tools, molds, jigs, fixtures and prototypes and to learn about Massivit’s Cast In Motion technology and range of materials.

The system has been adopted in the automotive, marine, and consumer products industries so far and enables automated, high-speed tooling, custom manufacturing, and prototyping. The company is expanding its material ecosystem to serve crucial industry tooling requirements.
