Additive Manufacturing
Optimize melt behavior, flow properties, and CrystallizationCrystallization is the physical process of hardening during the formation and growth of crystals. During this process, heat of crystallization is released.crystallization for stable processing and high-quality 3D printed parts.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing has matured over the last decades and has become a constant in our product design and development cycles and is debuting in more and more new products.
Polymers and their unique properties are key enablers for the majority of AM technologies – ranging from low viscosity, UV curable resins to polymer powders with distinct melting and CrystallizationCrystallization is the physical process of hardening during the formation and growth of crystals.
