Massivit 3D Printing Technologies, a leading provider of industrial 3D printing systems, announced at the IAAPA Expo in Orlando (November 14-17) the introduction of a new flame-retardant 3D printing material called CIM 84. This casting material is now available for the Massivit 10000-G additive manufacturing system and meets the entertainment industry’s long-awaited digital fabrication requirements for industry fire safety regulations.
CIM 84 is the first 3D printing material certified for ASTM E84 Class A fire and safety requirements, a regulation required by major theme parks and entertainment venues. The availability of this material, combined with Massivit’s additive manufacturing capabilities, enables décor manufacturers and production studios to quickly create scaled sets, characters and structures for theme parks that meet stringent industry regulations.
Previously, the necessary certified materials were only accessible to sculptors using traditional, manual sculpting methods, which are often difficult to manage. CIM 84 facilitates the digital fabrication of large-scale projects using the industry-recognized ASTM E84 Class A certified material. The newly available CIM 84 material enables the direct casting of customized, hollow, flame-retardant experiential displays.
Erez Zimerman, CEO at Massivit commented “I am excited about the addition of this unique casting material to our portfolio for use with the Massivit 10000 product line. It will enable producers and fabricators to reduce their production time for theme park creations, props, and displays while ensuring compliance with industry fire regulations. This in turn will allow companies to take on a greater number of projects and expand their business.”
Conventional production methods in the theming industry are typically time consuming and dependent on highly skilled labor. Cast In Motion (CIM) technology allows production designers to overcome these production bottlenecks by switching to digital manufacturing. CIM technology significantly reduces production costs and shortens overall delivery times from several weeks to just a few days. It also offers greater confidentiality for manufacturers and brands that want to handle all stages of production in-house. Unlike traditional manual processes, Massivit’s digital technology ensures brand authenticity and precision as objects are printed according to a 3D CAD design file.
