Chemical company Henkel has announced a collaboration with NewPro3D, a Vancouver-based polymer 3D printing company.

 .

The companies will leverage their respective areas of expertise to jointly develop cutting-edge 3D printing solutions for the medical industry for applications in anatomical modeling and prosthetics, among others.

 .

NewPro3D, a specialist in ultra-fast digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing, recently became a member of Henkel’s Open Materials Platform with the aim of reaching production-scale AM. Now the partners are turning their focus to the medical sector, which can benefit from patient-specific 3D printed anatomical models, custom prosthetics and other 3D printed devices.

 .

“We’re excited to work with NewPro3D to develop applications which can have a life-altering impact for so many people,” explained Sean Dsvila, Head of 3D Printing Materials at Henkel. “Our goal with additive manufacturing is to drive production at scale. While that’s a potential game-changer in all the markets we serve, perhaps nowhere is it more important than in the medical industry, where lives are literally at stake. It’s very gratifying for our team to play a small role in improving the outcome for those in need.”
