Elkem to launch a new generation of silicone solutions for Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing at Formnext 2024 in Frankfurt.
Elkem will also launch a new reference AMSilâ„¢ 92102 in the support material series. This paste like water soluble material has improved printability and surface aspects and is suitable for use in common with the AMSilâ„¢ and AMSil Silbioneâ„¢ range allowing to taking advantage of features and structures associated with the freedom of design approach inherent to Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing.
Elkem, a global leader in advanced material solutions, is proud to announce its groundbreaking latest product innovation, enlarging its portfolio of silicone solutions of the AMSilâ„¢ and AMSilâ„¢ Silbioneâ„¢ ranges for Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing, at the upcoming Formnext show in Frankfurt Germany from November 19th to 22nd 2024.
After having already successfully launched the AMSilâ„¢ & AMSil Silbioneâ„¢ brand and being acknowledged for this disruptive silicone solutions as a winner in the 2021 R&D 100 award, Elkem is continuing its material innovation campaign in Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing.
In addition to the existing AMSilâ„¢ 20501/AMSil Silbioneâ„¢ 24501 and AMSilâ„¢ 20502 (special for food grade) range, Elkem has developed the new AMSilâ„¢ 20503 & AMSil Silbioneâ„¢ 24503 range. Besides a longer shelf life for easier handling these new formulations are laying the base and open perspectives for an enlarged use in restricted and unrestricted medical application in the future. The new developments are available with Shore A hardness from ShA 10 to ShA 70 with all well-known properties of 100% silicones for LDM (Liquid Deposit Molding) based systems.
Elkem will also launch a new reference AMSilâ„¢ 92102 in the support material series. This paste like water soluble material has improved printability and surface aspects and is suitable for use in common with the AMSilâ„¢ and AMSil Silbioneâ„¢ range allowing to taking advantage of features and structures associated with the freedom of design approach inherent to Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing.
These latest developments show the commitment from Elkem to Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing and its potential of being part of a more sustainable economy in the future. Scaling Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing to industrial levels through Digital Manufacturing will create innovative, profitable, and sustainable solutions, reducing waste, transportation, and storage costs, thereby lowering the carbon footprint of end-products.

Featured Product
FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
