BASF Photocentric Partnership 3D Printing

A strategic partnership

BASF and Photocentric are working together to deliver the next generation of 3D materials ensuring that end-use parts can be produced consistently, cost-effectively and in the volumes necessary for mass manufacture.

Our solution

From the beginning Photocentric and BASF had the ambition of changing additive manufacture, in doing that we knew we needed to provide a value proposition to our customers. Our bulk pricing makes our 3D materials a realistic and competitive alternative to injection moulding and a far more cost effective than competitors.

We have developed new digital, autonomous, scalable and cost-effective manufacturing processes. This has allowed us to have a new vision of Industry 4.0 and together we are re-imagining manufacturing.

Functional end-use parts

Our combined chemistry teams have collaborated to develop new functional 3D materials, specifically designed to produce specific end-use parts. These 3D materials possess properties which are stable against UV, humidity, temperature, aggressive chemicals and perform under heavy mechanical duress.

Speed, volume, cost

Photocentric invented LCD 3D printing. Our large format screens enable large parts or multiple small parts to be made at high resolution and rapid speeds. Our versatile 3D LCD printers have unlocked the productivity problem of Additive Manufacturing and are transforming manufacturing processes around the world.

Manufacturing reimagined

Our disruptive technologies are revolutionising global manufacturing processes. If you want to start your journey, making low-cost end-use parts digitally to give you a genuine competitive advantage, then contact us today. The range of Photocentric BASF 3D materials are available to buy online.

2021
  • We welcome HRH, The Princess Royal to our headquarters in recognition of our 3 Queen’s Awards.
  • We move into a new 51,000 sqft building in Avondale, AZ.
  • We launch the LC Opus, our first UV 3D Printer.
  • Using just 45 Magna printers, we manufacture 1,000,000 face shields a month, or 50,000 a day, consuming an IBC of resin every 24 hours. We have finally demonstrated the true power of using LCD screens.
