IT3D Group and Tumaker continue to be involved in R&D. A large number of companies see this sector as an unprofitable unknown when it comes to investing. However, the IT3D Group is committed to supporting this environment and boosting their projects with our products.
An example of the consolidation of additive manufacturing in the field of R&D is the acquisition of the Tumaker NX Pro Pellets 3D printer by Repsol. The use of this technology by Repsol is no coincidence. Never before has it been so easy and efficient to handle this type of material.
Specialised companies, research centres and universities around the world are incorporating Tumaker pellet technology into their R&D equipment. This 3D solution makes it possible to carry out projects in record time that would be unthinkable with traditional manufacturing methods.
Why has Repsol chosen the Tumaker NX Pro Pellet 3D printer?
Repsol is committed to innovation as well as immersed in the synthesis of more sustainable and efficient materials. The fast development offered by additive manufacturing with pellets fits perfectly with the company’s current and future vision.
Repsol has chosen the Tumaker NX Pro 3D printer with the goal of optimising technical materials and pursuing the highest level of innovation in its work. In its processes of developing new materials for the energy industry, pellet technology offers Repsol an essential advantage. Thanks to its unique technology, materials can be tested and optimised without the costly filamentation process.
Furthermore, 3D printing with pellets opens up a range of possibilities never seen before in the industry. Working with materials that do not exist in filament format allows 3D printing with advanced, self-developed materials.
This advantage makes a difference. 3D printing plays a key role as Repsol aims to build a more sustainable, efficient and safer future for everyone.
3D printing with pellets for a wide range of sectors
Repsol is committed to the development of new polypropylene pellet materials for additive manufacturing. In this context, Repsol joins many companies that already use pellet technology in their daily practice.
Research Centres such as Empa, Nagase or Tecnalia are already working with this technology. In addition, universities all over the world, such as the University of Maine, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the University of Illinois, the Imperial College London or the Memorial University of Newfoundland, are also working with Tumaker pellet technology distributed by IT3D Group.
Tumaker specific solutions
The Tumaker pellet technology can be incorporated into the wide Tumaker Portfolio, including large format printers (BigFoot), printers with dual independent extruders… The possibilities are endless.
Pellet materials emerges as an effective solution to the material limitation associated to filament printing. Being able to print with certified and aproved matterials that are not commercialy available as filament takes 3D printing to the next level.
Moreover, the specific solutions provided by Tumaker allow the user to configure the 3D printer itself depending on the intended use. In addition, the Tumaker Dual 3D printers allow to combine, direct-drive HR or pellet heads to create an unique customised 3D printer.
Innovation is a mainstay in today’s society. Consequently, IT3D Group and Tumaker maintain their commitment to R&D of new technologies.
