For 3D printer manufacturers

For business users of 3D printers

STEP 01

Inquiry

According to your introduction and inquiry, we will provide you with more information or send you a catalog on photopolymer resin for 3D printers.

STEP 02

Meeting

We will learn more about your printer, such as the wavelength and exposure intensity, and discuss your target physical property values.

STEP 03

First sample

Based on what we find out through the meeting, we will provide you with the first resin sample.

STEP 04

Perform an evaluation and physical property analysis of printed parts using your printer

Based on the analysis results (on precision, accuracy and post-processing physical properties) of the first sample, we will guide you all the way to close the loop on the PDCA cycle, from resin improvement, evaluation to feedback, ultimately leading up to further improvement of the resin.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

We are a 3D printer manufacturer looking to resell resin under our own brand. Can you help us?

Yes. We can offer customization to develop resin that is perfect for your 3D printer according to its specifications and target physical property values. The resin can be sold under your own brand.

We are new to manufacturing using a 3D printer. What kind of support services do you offer?

As a material manufacturer, we will offer the right resin according to your needs and requests. Furthermore, we can fully assist you in your additive manufacturing project through collaborative experiment at Nagase ChemteX’s open laboratory, including printing, post-processing and physical property measurement.

How long is the warranty you offer?

The length of warranty depends on the product so it is best to confirm at the time you decide on one. In general, the physical properties of our products do not change for 6 months up to a year after delivery as long as they are unopened and stored at room temperature.

Do you offer products other than photopolymer resin?

NAGASE Group’s Infinite Material Solutions manufactures and sells filaments for FFF printers and Interfacial Consultants LLC develops powdered resin for SLS printers.
