to develop photopolymers that not only match but exceed the capabilities of traditional materials, tapping into their unique properties like lower thermal expansion and superior chemical resist- ance. Crosslinked photopolymers in 3D printing are tracing a similar evolutionary arc to that of thermoplastics decades ago. With burgeoning R&D, these materials are poised to revolutionise various industries, mirroring the transformative journey of thermoplastics and heralding a new era in manufacturing and material science.” In a similar vein, Massachusetts-based Mark-
forged has released Vega, an ultra-high perfor- mance filament designed for aerospace manufac- turing on Markforged’s FX20 printer which not only offers exceptional strength, but also is expected to bring customers substantial advantages in weight reduction, cost efficiency, and lead time savings. “Vega incorporates PEKK, a proven material in aerospace that possesses excellent strength and stiffness,” said Shai Terem, CEO of Markforged. “We believe this material will set the standard in print quality for high temperature thermoplastics and expand the adoption of our FX20 printer.” The company said Vega builds upon Mark-
forged’s material expertise and proven track record of engineering chopped carbon fibre-filled polymers that deliver strength, precision, and surface quality. With a smooth black matte surface finish, Vega offers an excellent finish for aesthetic aerospace parts. The new material resists warping and exhibits Flame, Smoke, and Toxicity (FST) resistance. Combined with Markforged’s Continu- ous Fiber Reinforcement technology, Vega pro- vides increased design flexibility, without sacrificing strength, which opens the door for new applica- tions that were previously unreachable, said the company.
