Adaptive3D™, an additive manufacturing polymer resin supplier delivering tough, strain-tolerant and flexible materials, announced that it has secured Series A financing from a syndicate co-led by DSM Venturing and Applied Ventures. DSM Venturing is the strategic funding arm of Royal DSM, a global science-based company active in sustainable living, nutrition and additive manufacturing, and Applied Ventures is the venture capital arm of Applied Materials, a provider of materials engineering solutions. Also joining the round are Chemence, a multinational materials and adhesives supplier, and current investors led by Mary McDermott Cook and the late Margaret McDermott, whose father and husband, respectively, founded Texas Instruments in 1951.

Adaptive3D printable photoresins are targeting the high-throughput manufacturing of complex 3-dimensional plastic and rubber parts, with unmatched mechanical properties, in open-air production environments. Royal DSM and Applied Materials provide the cornerstones of an emerging additive manufacturing ecosystem that will help Adaptive3D as it aims to deliver materials-centric solutions to global companies in consumer, healthcare, industrial, transportation and oil and gas sectors.

“Adaptive3D seeks to challenge the cost, throughput and performance in markets today dominated by traditional injection molding, blow molding and other thermoplastic processing techniques,” said Adaptive3D founder and CEO, Walter Voit. “By delivering lightweight, sustainable, micro-latticed structures with superior thermal, chemical, optical and mechanical properties, Adaptive3D seeks to drastically increase the utilization of plastics and rubbers in end applications using additive manufacturing.”

“At DSM we believe that the age of additive manufacturing for industrial applications is, in fact, the age of materials,” said Hugo Da Silva, DSM VP of Additive Manufacturing. “Adaptive3D’s engineered photoresins enable new design paradigms in end applications. Working together with Applied Materials allows us to think globally about big problems at scale and offer big ecosystem solutions.”

“Applied Materials is a global leader in semiconductor processing and patterning with light and e-beam technology,” said Om Nalamasu, President of Applied Ventures and CTO of Applied Materials. “Adaptive3D’s photoresins coupled with large-area processing and advanced patterning techniques could potentially deliver robust materials-based solutions at high throughput and low cost across multiple industry verticals.”

“There are only a handful of chemical companies around the world with the global supply chain, distribution channels and application expertise to drive change in how the world manufactures plastics,” said Voit, “and we are thrilled to have Royal DSM, one of them, ranked as one of the world’s most sustainable companies, partnering with Adaptive to further develop its engineered materials. In a similar vein, there are only a handful of companies in the world with the materials expertise, equipment manufacturing capabilities at scale and creative internal culture to enable a paradigm change in additive manufacturing. Applied Materials is at the top of that list.”

Aerosport completes entire supercar model for SCG Racing using only in-house 3D printing capabilities.

While 2D renderings can help to communicate a product concept well enough, there is something to be said about seeing a concept as a physical, three-dimensional object. This marketing reality has not been lost on manufacturers and designers, who are increasingly turning to additive manufacturing to tactilely visualize design and product concepts.

Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus, a boutique manufacturer of high-performance racing and road cars, recently partnered with Aerosport Modeling & Design to 3D print a small-scale model of its 2019 SCG 004S supercar—a planned luxury vehicle that has not yet gone into production. The 3D printed model of the car was presented in the manufacturer’s showroom to promote the new line of vehicles.

“When we got the call on this project, I thought about how cool it would be to produce the entire model with only our in-house 3D printing capabilities,” commented Geoff Combs, the owner of Aerosport Modeling & Design, a company specializing in the production of high quality prototypes and show models.

Indeed, the company utilized a range of 3D printing technologies to bring the one-fifth scale car model to life, including its RSPro 600 from UnionTech and HP’s Multi Jet Fusion technology.

“We knew it was very possible for us to do now because of our recent investments new 3D printing technology,” Combs elaborated. “In 2017, we had purchased new stereolithography 3D printer from UnionTech, the RSPro 600, with a large build platform of 600 mm x 600 mm x 500 mm (23.6” x 23.6” x 19.6”). Around the same time, we also added HP’s Multi Jet Fusion technology to support other customers’ 3D print production needs.”

The vehicle’s body panels, chassis and tires were all 3D printed out of PA12 using HP’s technology. Notably, all these parts were strategically split into various smaller components so that the printer’s build space was maximized. For instance, the hood design was split into two, while the chassis was separated into four pieces and the rest of the parts were printed in 12 pieces.

The vehicle’s window sections, wheels and brake rotors were printed on the UnionTech 3D printer using Somos EvoLVe 128, a highly durable photopolymer suitable for printing fine details.  All these parts were finished and painted. Other high feature finish pieces, including mirror headlight housings, exhaust tips and headlight taillight lenses were printed using an unspecified SLA machine and various Somos materials.

By using its in-house 3D printing technology, Aerosport Modeling & Design says it was able to print the vehicle model within just five weeks. The whole project, from first concept conversation to the final model’s delivery to Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus, reportedly took three months.

Measuring 36 inches in length and 15 inches in width, the 3D printed supercar model is a sight to behold. Understandably, the presentation of the 3D printed vehicle by Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus at its showroom had just the effect the company hoped for as it garnered excitement and interest from prospective buyers.

Presently, Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus is preparing to begin the production of full-scale prototypes for the SCG 004S supercar in 2019. By 2020, the company plans to be producing about 250 cars per year. This production could take place at a production facility in Connecticut that the company has hinted at buying. At this stage, the car manufacturer says it is already accepting deposits for the new vehicle model.

Canal Winchester, OH – Aerosport Modeling & Design would like to thank everyone that was able to make it to our Design for HP Multi Jet Fusion event on January 23rd. The event was well-attended by many industry professionals in the Central Ohio Area as well as several folks that traveled from out-of-town to make it! The weather tried its best to deter us from having a good time, but the good vibes of additive manufacturing ended up winning out!

We would like to also thank HP, Inc for supporting the event! We were so lucky to have 2 Advanced Technical Consultants, Isabel Sanz and Dustin Kloempkin, as well as Shawn Narey and Mark Skokut. The extra bodies, and minds, helped out a lot with being able to answer as many questions as we could for those in attendance. Visitors were able to experience the HP 4200 printer running a build and shortly after finishing a build. They also go to see parts being unpacked from a cooled build, as well as see numerous parts in different stages of post-processing.

After a few technical sessions describing how the technology works and how to best design optimized parts, we moved into an interactive workshop scenario. This was a unique opportunity for attendees to bring in and share their own designs and assemblies to the group. This was an extremely rewarding session as we were able to watch creative minds working together to apply the newly learned techniques!

We are already looking forward to our next educational event and we hope that you will join us!
