Brazilian petrochemical firmBraskemhas announced the acquisition of 3D printing material developer and distributortaulman3D。
Braskem has gradually broadened its interest in additive manufacturing, first utilizing the technology to produce spares in-house, then launching its own filament range two years ago. Since then, the company has continued expanding its presence in the industry, bringing new eco-friendly materials to market, and it says its taulman3D acquisition could now further “accelerate its growth strategy.”
Braskem的逐渐扩展
Braskem总部位于圣保罗，是美洲热塑性树脂的最大生产商，尽管其活动跨越了多个行业，但近年来它已经增加了3D印刷的股份。与Redwire-owned Made in Space andNASA例如，在2019年，该公司帮助开发了Braskem回收器，，，，a system on theInternational Space Station这有助于聚合物再利用。
在内部，Braskem两年前在宾夕法尼亚州开设了其创新与技术（I＆T）中心，并拥有专用的2,800平方米3D打印实验室，此举扩大了R＆D功能。紧随其后的是Braskem的第一个3D打印材料，一组聚烯烃原料，以及另一种与EOS子公司高级激光材料。
与之合作Titan Robotics，此后已被购买3D系统，然后开发地图集3D打印机的聚丙烯颗粒。该材料专门针对泰坦系统设计，据说该材料已针对生产大型最终用途零件（包括具有潜在汽车，包装或实时铰链应用程序的零件）进行了优化。
More recently, the company has sought to expand its eco-friendly offering. At theRapid+TCT 2022 tradeshow，，，，Braskem的第一个可持续细丝were launched, including a bio-based EVA as well as a recycled PE and PP, all of which were designed to further its circular manufacturing goals.
Braskem凭借100％回收Enviro Petg的开发商Taulman3d的收购，现在将进一步提高其可持续性资格。Taulman3D总裁Zach Lichaa表示，这笔交易还将为他的公司提供更多的研发资源，从而使其能够满足不断增长的需求。
Lichaa解释说：“在过去的十年中，我们为全球领先的3D印刷业务之一建立了我们感到非常自豪，拥有数十个国家 /地区的私营和公共部门客户。”“ Braskem的重大研发资源及其世界一流的生产团队将使我们能够以更大的重点和产品创新为客户服务，因为增材制造越来越根植于全球供应链中。”
获得更大的3D打印派
Though Braskem hasn’t revealed the exact terms behind its taulman3D acquisition, it has provided an idea of the gains it expects to make from the deal. According to the company, taulman3D’s portfolio of nylon, recycled PETG, and PET filaments is “highly complementary” to its own, and is already available via distributors on six continents, broadening its reach.
此外，布拉斯姆说，在该行业中有十多年的经验，其收购已经有时间获得全球“成千上万的专业人士”的信任。其中包括在航空航天，汽车，医疗保健，工业和教育工作中工作的公司，布拉斯克姆的3D打印产品现在可以更好地寻址。
也许更发人深省,Jason Vagnozzi全球Commercial Director of Additive Manufacturing at Braskem, has also spoken of the growth opportunities opened up by trading in what he sees as a rapidly-expanding 3D printing space.
“Braskem’s acquisition of taulman3D brings a high-quality 3D filament producer with a globally diversified client list and a highly complementary product portfolio,” explained Vagnozzi. “With projections for the 3D printing industry expected to grow from $15 billion today to $78 billion by 2030 – growing at an estimated 20% CAGR – we see enhanced opportunities to serve this rapidly growing demand.”
“今天的收购使布拉斯姆在增材制造市场中的市场份额增加了一倍，并进一步加速了我们的增长战略。”
