taulman3D Launches 3D Printing Lab at Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane to Help Modernize U.S. Navy Supply Chain
Leveraging the company's decade of experience 3d printing across dozens of systems and hundreds of polymers, taulman3D has been chosen to manage a brand new 3d printing lab at Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane. A partnership between taulman3D, NavalX Midwest Tech Bridge and IN3, a hub of national security innovation that helps solve critical defense priorities.
"We will reduce the weight, acquisition costs and lead times of various parts within the supply chain using AM, while maintaining strength, chemical, thermal and other performance properties," said taulman3D President Zach Lichaa. "This will lead to increased range for various manned and unmanned systems and a reduction in energy consumption." Learn more. |

New Material Release: PA Cast Plate High Strength Nylon
95MPA, 110C (up to 185C) HDT taulman3D’s PA Cast Plate is a high strength poly-amide that uses manufacturing techniques similar to nylon industrial plates. Casting nylon in dies is a unique process that usually requires a difference in the manufacturing of the base polymer. While there are some cast nylons that will be used as is, the majority are destined for subtractive/tooling/CNC machining. For this type of machining, a high and consistent tensile strength is required. taulman3D has developed a specific nylon for 3d printing with a high tensile of 95MPA or over 13,500PSI. The result is taulman3D’s PA (Polyamide) Cast Plate. HDT = 112C & 185C Annealed Color - Super Dark Blue Print Temp = 280C-300C Speed = 38mm/s Retract = 3mm Tensile = 13,400PSI |
New Material Release: SAC 1060 Removable Support for Nylon
taulman3D is pleased to release “SAC1060”, a new mechanically removable support material for nylon 3D printing materials. SAC1060 is a mechanically removable (requires needle nose pliers) support material that works with all nylon filaments. SAC1060 Prints at 235C to 255C like higher temperatures nylons and it does not “melt into or weld onto” nylons. It was developed to stick to all nylons as a support material during the printing process, yet retain a mild adhesion at ambient temperatures. This allows the user to print high temperature base nylons with a support material that does not warp or melt based on print temperatures. SAC1060 is designed to support zero layer spacing between base nylons and support material allowing for the best bottom surface finish. SAC1060 has a low tensile making it crack easily during removal. SAC1060 stands for "Sacrificial Material #1060". Learn More. |
Dow Chemical and taulman3D Partner to Release Evolv3D Water Soluble Universal Support Material (USM)
The Dow Chemical Company, a subsidiary of DowDuPont is unveiling a new product series, the EVOLV3D™ platform for 3D printing. The EVOLV3D family was developed to address customer challenges for prototyping and manufacturing using 3D printing, and represents Dow’s entry into the growing 3D printing industry. The initial EVOLV3D™ product, known as Universal Support Material (USM), will be released exclusively by taulman3D. Learn More. |
New Material Release: guidel!ne for Health Care Industry
guidel!ne is a unique high strength PETG based material with excellent high temperature printing capabilities. Users know that printing small features of some parts can be difficult due to thermal build-up. guidel!ne is much less susceptible to these thermal issues allowing for finer detail without distortion. guidel!ne is also released as a starting point for individuals and companies wishing to obtain eventual FDA/CE certification for a device knowing that the raw material itself is listed with the FDA and has already passed specific FDA testing. Information provided to the user will be in sync with the FDA’s “Technical Considerations for Additive Manufactured Devices Draft Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff”. Section “C” “Material Controls”. While COA’s will be the responsibility of the end user, taulman3D will provide information to support such efforts. Learn More. |
DuPont and taulman3D Develop and Release Flexible T-Lyne Material for 3D Printing
Recognizing a growing need for 3D printing materials with higher durability as well as unique flexibility, taulman3D and DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers (DuPont) worked together to manufacture and release a unique new flexible material to the 3D printing community called T-lyne that uses DuPont™ Surlyn® ionomer. T-lyne is a unique, crystal clear polyethylene co-polymer developed specifically for high durability, flexibility, unique viscosity and a wide temperature range. Glass-like aesthetics can easily be obtained at high layer sizes using low speed and low temperatures in the range of 190 C to 210 C. Utility style parts are easily printed faster at standard layer sizes using higher temperatures up to 245 C, depending on nozzle size. DuPont™ Surlyn® in T-lyne meets FDA 21CFR 177.1330(a). |
