Delta Equipement, a French supplier of automation, robotics and additive manufacturing (AM) technology and Solvay, have partnered to make AM parts.

Solvay will supply its Radel polyphenyl sulfone (PPSU) and KetaSpire polyetherether ketone (PEEK) filaments, including carbon fiber filled PEEK grades, for use on Delta’s fused filament fabrication (FFF) systems.

’Partnerships such as the one with Delta Equipement are part of our strategy to develop and become a world-wide leading supplier of advanced AM-ready polymer solutions for 3D printing technologies,’ said Christophe Schramm, business manager at Solvay.

According to the company, a new generation of polymer filaments could open new opportunities for applications with demanding mechanical and thermal requirements.

‘3D printing is a disruptive technology that requires new system solutions to exploit its full innovation potential,’ said Yves Daunas, Delta president.
