ESD-safe materials are essential for the electronics industry to ensure the safety of equipment and workers. With the new partnership between PartsToGo, one of the largest 3D printing service providers in Europe, and Mechnano, a manufacturer of exceptional materials for the 3D printing of ESD-safe components, this safety can now be produced with unparalleled speed and quality.
Mechnano is an Arizona-based manufacturer of 3D printing materials. With a wide range of resins, polymer powders and pellets, all with outstanding dissipative properties, Mechnano has been providing companies in the electronics industry with the ability to combine the capabilities of 3D printing with excellent ESD safety for several years. This is achieved in particular through D’Func (Discrete, Dispersed and Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes) technology, which in addition to dissipative properties also increases impact strength, elongation at break and chemical resistance.
PartsToGo GmbH, based in Karlsbad, Germany, has quickly become one of the largest 3D printing service providers in the DACH region and now also throughout Europe. With a large selection of printing technologies, printing systems and materials as well as a comprehensive service that accompanies customers from application validation to series production, PartsToGo enables the rapid production of various components for SMEs and large companies alike.
The new partnership between the two companies is based on the desire to finally utilize the advantages of 3D printing on a large scale in the electronics industry. With PartsToGo, Mechnano has a partner with years of expertise in 3D printing and material validation, and PartsToGo can offer unique solutions for the electronics industry thanks to the exclusivity of the partnership.
This partnership is currently focused on the unique Formula1B material from Mechnano, which PartsToGo offers worldwide with its services. The expansion to other Mechnano materials is currently being intensively planned and will be finalized quickly in the near future.
“In PartsToGo, we have not only found a partner that extracts the maximum from our materials, but also actively supports us in material validation. This allows us to massively accelerate our material development process and at the same time guarantee our customers and partners outstanding component quality.’” – Olga “Dr. O” Ivanova, PhD – Director of Applications & Technology at Mechnano.
“Mechnano’s materials enable us to fully support the electronics industry. Whether it’s the quick production of spare parts, rapid prototyping or series production – with their ESD-safe materials, we can further increase our quality standards in the electronics industry.” – Tobias Röcker, CEO at PartsToGo.
