Industry/ Innovation/ Related News:

August 29, 2018 – Evonik Industries AG (Germany), the largest specialty chemicals company announced the innovation (development) of the new flexible plastic material for 3D printing based on Polyether Block Amide (PEBA).

PEBA is a thermoplastic elastomer material well-known for its high-performance characteristics and is widely used as a replacement material for common elastomers like polyester elastomers, thermoplastic polyurethanes, and silicones due to its superior mechanical properties, lower density, flexibility, fatigue resistance, and high impact.

Developed in collaboration with EOS (Germany), a global technology and quality leader for high-end additive manufacturing solutions, the new development is considered as the world’s first flexible plastic material specially designed for 3D printing. This new high-performance powder will be used in various powder-bed fusion technologies.
