Mechnano and Bomar present the E35B+ Masterbatch for 3D printing with increased CNT concentration.
The unique D'Func technology enables improved mechanical and electrical performance at the nano scale.
The masterbatch is cost-effective, requires smaller quantities in the final resin formula, and can be used in various 3D printing systems.
Mechnano and Bomar Unveil E35B+ Masterbatch for Additive Manufacturing with Groundbreaking Nanotube Technology.
Arizona-based 3D printing company Mechnano and Bomar have introduced a revolutionary E35B+ Masterbatch utilizing Bomar's BR-952 oligomer. Carefully crafted for professionals formulating materials in the additive manufacturing (AM) sector, the masterbatch, employing Mechnano's exclusive D'Func technology, facilitates the advancement of AM resin, ensuring heightened mechanical strength and uniform electrical performance at the nano scale.
Compared to Mechnano's earlier E35A ESD Masterbatch, the E35B+ masterbatch features a notable 2.5 times higher concentration of Carbon Nanotubes (CNT). It is specifically designed for the development of 3D printing resins, such as SLA, DLP, or jettable resins, requiring enhanced rigidity and high tensile strength.
The product offers a customizable resistivity range from 10^6 to 10^10 Ω, ensuring the absence of carbon trails and facilitating straightforward incorporation into formulas without the need for high-shear mixing.
An essential aspect of the E35B+ masterbatch is its reliance on Mechnano's D'Func process. This approach addresses the challenge of clumped and roped carbon nanotubes in materials, a longstanding issue affecting their mechanical and electrical performance. By eliminating these clumps and functionalizing CNTs, Mechnano aims to provide stable CNT dispersions.
The stability of CNT dispersions is critical because clumped CNTs are known to negatively impact the mechanical properties of materials, leading to compromised part performance. Mechnano's focus on addressing these challenges is clear in its expanding product lineup, where E35B+ is accessible directly from Mechnano or through its partner, Bomar.
