…debuted a certified thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), ULTRASINT, developed by BASF, to expand final-parts applications for the new Jet Fusion 5200 Series systems. The new TPU is made for flexible and elastic parts and complements HP High Reusability PA-12, PA-12 Glass Beads and PA-11 materials, HP reports. Already, BASF and HP are working with Sculpteo, a provider of 3D design and production services, on new applications produced with BASF’s ULTRASINT TPU on HP Jet Fusion 3D printing systems. The new TPU material ULTRASINT was developed by BASF, to expand final-parts applications for the new Jet Fusion 5200 Series systems. It can…

…go there.” Last year, Materialise announced a partnership with BASF to collaborate on materials. The fact that companies like GE, Siemens, BASF and HP were represented at AMUG is sign that the larger manufacturing world is taking additive manufacturing seriously. Simulation software providers are also taking the technology seriously and working on the considerable challenges involved in predicting what will happen when a particular design using a particular material is 3D printed in a particular machine. “Part of what we've found from our customers is that it's not enough to have a best piece of simulation,” says Brent Stucker, director…
