The Industry, developer and manufacturer of large-scale 3D printers, starts offering Sulapac‘s bio-based and recyclable materials to its customers.
Manufacturing with The Industry’s next-generation 3D printers is a highly efficient process that eliminates production waste, minimizes energy consumption and enables flexible, localized, on-demand production. Using sustainable Sulapac as a printing material instead of conventional plastic reduces customers’ environmental footprint even further.
Sulapac materials, consisting of biodegradable biopolymers and sustainable fillers such as wood from industrial by-products, are characterized by a low carbon footprint. They are safe for people and the planet over their entire life cycle, without leaving behind persistent microplastic particles or toxic substances. In addition, Sulapac materials are recyclable by design and can be made with recycled content.
“We are very proud of our partnership with Sulapac due to the exceptional quality of their materials and their seamless compatibility with our MAGNUM printer. As we always strive to give the best to our customers, we truly believe that materials like Sulapac will have a strong positive impact on sustainable global production,” says Jonas Carlsson, CEO of The Industry Sweden.
The materials selected for The Industry’s material library must meet strictly defined technical criteria. Sulapac Flow 1.7, an attractive wood composite, and Sulapac Universal Heat 30, a bio-based material with good heat resistance and high pressure suitability, have demonstrated excellent mechanical properties and workability in extensive testing.
“In our experience, modern businesses are constantly searching for new materials that can convey a premium look and feel. After running multiple tests on our MAGNUM printer, we can say without a doubt that Sulapac managed to live up to the expectations and we can only foresee a positive increase in demand for their materials across various industries working with additive manufacturing technologies,” Carlsson states.
The partnership between Sulapac and The Industry demonstrates the potential of 3D printing as a key technology for sustainable production processes. By combining innovative, environmentally friendly materials with advanced printing technology, new application possibilities are opening up for companies striving for a positive environmental impact.
“Thanks to the cooperation with The Industry, we have started to discover the variety of possibilities for Sulapac materials in 3D printing. Their technical fit and unparalleled sustainability features combined with the many benefits of 3D printing offer endless opportunities for companies willing to lead the way towards a cleaner future”, concludes Emmi Randell, Head of Business Development at Sulapac.
