Metering nanocomposites for 3D printing


Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is a transformational technology enabling the creation of complex objects, which are built in layers from a 3D drawing.  due to the speed in which high strength and durable components can be created without large investments in moulds and lengthy manufacturing times. Our latest case study delves into a project enquiry we received for a peristaltic metering pump where the customer required a solution to transfer nanocomposites for stereolithography or 3D printing. They wanted to recirculate a very abrasive high performance composite ceramic resin
