A new range of three-dimensional (3D) printing capabilities and services designed primarily for automotive and industrial customers, is now available.

The expansion of Henkel’s additive manufacturing services, also known as 3D printing, aims to provide support with 3D printable materials - from design through to final part manufacturing. It offers a range of 3D printing capabilities including stereolithography, digital light processing and multi-jet fusion, in addition to dedicated post-processing and finishing services.

The company states that its additive manufacturing services leverage its existing infrastructure and internal capabilities at specific application centres and at its certified plant in Richmond, Missouri, US, which already supplies traditionally produced parts to a number of automotive and industrial customers.

Henkel further explains that it aims to help build quality, repeatability and scalability into customers’ additive manufacturing efforts, to help customers produce end-production parts by leveraging its knowledge of materials and additive manufacturing workflows, knowledge of industrial customer requirements, Advanced Product Quality Planning, customer quality requirements and part ordering and delivery.

The company’s Additive Manufacturing Services works primarily with applications where parts are intended for ongoing, serial production. In addition to assisting with selecting and optimising the right material for each part, the company can provide input early in the product development lifecycle, helping customers optimise designs for function, surface finish and to understand geometric dimensioning and tolerancing requirements. It also assists with part validation and other quality initiatives, including dimensional analysis of finished pieces.
