Evonik enters US distribution agreement with 3DChimera
Focusing on a select range of Evonik’s high-quality INFINAM powders
Evonik, a 3D printable polymers company, has entered a US distribution agreement with 3DChimera. The agreement covers a select range of Evonik’s high-quality INFINAM powders, including variants that feature high flexibility, high-temperature resistance, high stiffness, and a special carbon-black embedded powder. All INFINAM nylon powders are specifically optimized for industrial powder bed fusion.
“This partnership with 3DChimera is part of Evonik’s strategy to expand the reach of solutions in additive manufacturing technology,” said Jeffery Beach, Director of the Long Chain Polyamides team in Evonik’s Americas Region. “We’re pleased to collaborate with 3DChimera and excited about working closely together towards the benefit of all our customers.”
The partnership will allow 3DChimera to provide technical assistance and guidance on the optimal use of Evonik’s SLS PA12 powders, so customers can maximize the benefits of these high-performance materials.
“We are thrilled to partner with Evonik and bring their exceptional SLS PA12 powders to our customers on our online marketplace,” said Alex Hussain, Co-founder and CEO of 3DChimera. “This collaboration allows us to enhance our product portfolio and offer innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers. We are committed to delivering the highest quality materials and support to help our customers succeed in their projects.”
Evonik produced the first polyamide 12 powder material for powder bed fusion in 1996. Since then, the company has been constantly developing leading solutions for 3D printable applications. As recently as 2023, Evonik introduced the world’s first carbon-fiber-reinforced PEEK filament for long-term 3D printed medical implants.
