Polymaker PC Magigoo
Polymaker is recommending customers of its polycarbonate-based (PC) materials use Magigoo PC Smart Adhesive to aid with bed adhesion and product workflow.
The Chinese 3D printing material developer has secured a partnership with Thought3D, the producer of Magigoo products, and as such has added the PC Smart Adhesive to its product information sheet.
Polycarbonate materials are renowned for their resistance to impact and high temperatures, and as such are popular in vertical markets like automotive, aerospace and medical. For larger parts printed in PC in particular, bed adhesion is critical to the success of the print. Thought3D has thus harnessed its smart adhesion technology to create the PC Smart Adhesive, which locks parts to the heated bed but also allows them to be easily removed once the bed has cooled.
The Magigoo adhesives, of which there are products for a range of industrial plastic materials, have been developed to quicken the part-removal process and allow users to enter the next phase of the production workflow. The adhesives are easily applied, require no modification to the levelling of the print bed, and parts are detached with no hassle once the build is finished. By partnering with Polymaker, the aim is to make the Magigoo PC Smart Adhesive more accessible to industrial users of Polymaker filaments.
“There are other techniques for ensuring a good adhesion for PC parts, however, none of them work as seamlessly as Magigoo,” commented Luke Taylor, Polymaker’s Marketing Manager. “The way in which printed parts release once the bed has cooled down is, for me, the best aspect of this product. For large PC prints, Magigoo will save the heartache of wrenching away at your 3D printer to retrieve your PC part. Users printing PC regularly will understand the value immediately.”
“We are really excited to work with Polymaker and their highly professional team,” added Andrei-Andy Linnas, co-founder of Thought3D. “We have spent significant time cross referencing each other’s materials to provide value to end users. We love Polymaker filaments and are sure that this collaboration will benefit end-users and strengthen positions of both companies making the offering complete. We hope to provide a solution to any presently used and future filament. It’s a win-win-win combination for all.”
