Braskem Acquires Filament Supplier Taulman3D

Braskem has acquired taulman3D, a leading 3D filament supplier of nylon, recycled PETG, and PET filaments to aerospace, automotive, healthcare, industrial, government and higher education professionals. The acquisition of the Linton, Ind., company is reportedly a perfect complement to Braskem’s existing portfolio of next-generation 3D printing filaments (PE, PP, carbon fiber, glass fiber & recycled polymers). Braskem offers solutions across technologies such as Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), and high-speed pellet extrusion. The taulman3D filament and polymer offerings include:

 ▪  Carbon fiber alloy nylon 3D printer filament

 ▪  Glass fiber alloy nylon 3D printer filament

 ▪  Alloy 920 3D printer filament

 ▪  Alloy 910 high-heat 3D Printer Filament

 ▪  PCTPE 3D printer filament

 ▪  Tech-G 3D printer filament

 ▪  T-Glase 3D printer filament

 ▪  Bridge nylon, nylon 230, nylon 645 & nylon 680 (FDA material)

 ▪  PA cast plate nylon 3D printer filament

 ▪  SAC1060 - support material for nylon

 ▪  Guideline 3D printer filament (Medical Grade)

 ▪  Enviro 100% recycled PETG 3D printer filament

Said Jason Vagnozzi, Braskem’s global commercial director of additive manufacturing, “Braskem’s acquisition of taulman3D brings a high-quality 3D filament producer with a globally diversified client list and a highly complementary product portfolio. With projections for the 3D printing industry expected to grow from $15 billion today to $78 billion by 2030 – growing at an estimated 20% CAGR – we see enhanced opportunities to serve this rapidly growing demand. Today’s acquisition doubles Braskem’s market share in the additive manufacturing market and further accelerates our growth strategy.”
