Quantica and ALTANA enter into partnership for inkjet materials

Quantica, a pioneer in additive manufacturing technologies, and ALTANA Cubic Ink, a global specialty chemicals company, have announced a joint partnership to drive innovation and development of new materials for 2D and 3D inkjet printing processes.

At the center of this collaboration is Quantica’s NovoJet OPEN system, an open lab printing system launched in late 2023. It enables the use of special materials for the development of inkjet applications. With its starter kit from the Cubic Ink High Performance Materials series, ALTANA offers a basis for users looking for an entry point into material development.

Grace Chang, Quantica Head of Product Management and Partnership shares, “We are excited to work with a partner like ALTANA and its Cubic Ink brand, combining their material expertise and our technological capabilities, we see this as a complimentary alliance. They understand the opportunities and obstacles inherent in inkjet and multi-material additive manufacturing, and are excited to team up to offer the industry new materials.”

The cooperation aims to expand the material portfolio for inkjet technologies, particularly with a focus on 2D applications. New materials are to be introduced and existing ones improved, including the development of materials with higher viscosity in order to expand the possible applications.

Dr. Max Röttger, Head of Cubic Ink, stated “Quantica’s high viscosity printing technology has the potential to bring multi-material 3D printing to an industrial level. We are excited to support,  thanks to our in-depth knowledge in UV -formulation chemistry and in both inkjet as well as DLP/LCD 3D printing technologies.”
