Henkel and Prodways collaborate to bring Loctite resins to ProMaker LD machines for industrial parts manufacturing

Prodways joins the Loctite 3D Printing ecosystem

Düsseldorf, Germany and Montigny-le-Bretonneux, France – Today, Henkel is announcing a collaboration with a new ecosystem partner, Prodways. Based in France, Prodways is a manufacturer of DLP 3D printing technologies, known for their patented DLP MOVINGLight® (MovingLight) technology. With this new collaboration, users can access Loctite's high-performance 3D printing resins on the Prodways' industrial platform to further enable the production of ultra-precise parts.

The Prodways ProMaker LD machines, supported by MovingLight technology, offer large production platforms (300x445mm) for high throughput with very high resolution, as fine as 40 microns per pixel everywhere on the platform. By adding Loctite high-performance resins to the ProMaker LD 3D Printers, industrial applications can be achieved with exceptional accuracy and productivity.

"I am very proud of this new collaboration that reinforces Prodways offers and help fast forward the innovations of our customers in the industrial manufacturing, automotive or consumer goods industries." explains Alban D'Halluin, CEO at Prodways Printers.

"This partnership offers a real opportunity for our customers to move beyond prototyping to volume production in additive manufacturing. The build size and precision of the Prodways machines along with Loctite industrial resins enables the production of truly functional parts for a much wider range of applications" adds Sam Bail, Director of Partnership for 3D Printing at Henkel.

You can find solutions from both companies on display at FormNext 2022, from November 15th to 18th in Frankfurt, Germany. Prodways will be exhibiting the ProMaker LD20 3D Printer and printed parts in their booth, 12.1-G61.
