Henkel Launches Open Materials Platform to Accelerate 3D Printing Innovation
Henkel has unveiled an open materials platform designed to partner with 3D printer manufacturers and system providers, enabling the rapid qualification of new materials across diverse printing technologies.
The platform centers on a suite of specialized resins, including UV‑curable silicone elastomeric, ultra‑clear, durable high‑impact, high‑temperature, and general‑purpose formulations. These materials support high‑performance printing for the health & wellness, transportation, and industrial sectors.
One standout example is Henkel’s Durable High‑Impact Resin 3870, which has already proven its worth in 3D‑printing motor adapters that match the aesthetic and mechanical quality of conventional injection‑molded parts.
By offering a collaborative, open‑source framework, Henkel aims to reduce time‑to‑market and lower development costs for manufacturers looking to push the boundaries of additive manufacturing.
