Evonik has opened a new technology center for 3D printing in Texas to further expand its business in the area of additive manufacturing. The site will play a key role in the Evonik's development of new, ready-to-use materials for powder bed fusion manufactured by the Structured Polymers technology.

Evonik has opened a new technology center for 3D printing in Austin, Texas.

It comprises an application technology laboratory with 3D printers and a processing area, a research and development laboratory, production rooms and associated office areas as well as meeting rooms. The building complex has modern air extraction systems, meets high safety standards and complies with applicable workplace ergonomics standards.

"We have now created the necessary framework to establish this advanced technology for the production of 3D printable polymer powders on the market," says Thomas Große-Puppendahl, head of the Additive Manufacturing Innovation Growth Field at Evonik.

The building complex has modern air extraction systems, meets the highest safety standards and complies with applicable workplace ergonomics standards.

Vikram Devarajan, managing director of the 3D Printing Technology Center in Austin, Texas, adds: "By expanding our capabilities in North America, we are sending an important signal to our partners in the region that we can now better support them with new technological opportunities in materials development right in their own backyard.”
