3D printing thermoplastic elastomers, nylons, ionomers

Auto sales finally got back above pre-recession levels in 2014 with August sales reaching a seven-year high. After six long years, sales levels have matched 2007’s pace. More importantly, several research groups expect 2015 continue to grow. Today’s Motor Vehicles allows marketers direct access to this healthy industry with continued growth.

Wilmington, Delaware – DuPont Performance Materials announces participation in the 3D printing industry with high-performance materials in filament forms of DuPont Hytrel thermoplastic elastomers, DuPont Zytel nylons, and DuPont Surlyn ionomers.

Proven over decades of use, Hytrel, Zytel and Surlyn offer high quality, reliability, and performance in various applications in a wide range of industries. The expansion of these high-performance materials into the realm of 3D printing will enable users to achieve the true benefits of 3D printing (greater design freedom, light weighting, and reduced product development), allowing for rapid prototyping, part production, and mass customization.
