Dahltram®
Airtech manufactures fibre reinforced polymer composite resins for large-scale additive manufacturing pellet-fed FDM printing systems. Dahltram® resins have been specifically developed with the manufacture of tooling for composite manufacturing in mind. Dahltram® thermoplastic resins are uniquely suitable for multiple print platforms and offer production flexibility with end-use material approvals. They have been approved for application on all Thermwood LSAM 3D printers, Titan Robotics Atlas printers and CEAD AM Flexbot platforms. Using Dahltram® resins on large scale additive manufacturing can deliver • Rapid tooling delivery for prototyping and rate manufacturing programmes. • High accuracy, complex, high quality tooling solutions. • High temperature and pressure capability for tooling suitable for autoclave use. • Proven long service life and low CTE tooling. Airtech has been extruding and compounding resins for nearly 50 years. Additive manufacturing has enabled us to expand our resin offerings not only to our printers, but also to develop unique resins and purges for those with their own machines. Airtech Dahltram® resins and Print-Tech® in-house 3D printing services have been used by BBi Autosport to build carbon composite body panels for its high-performance racing vehicles, winning them first, first and third in class! Motorsport programs require rapid development cycles, and with Print-Tech®, these moulds can be produced faster than ever before. This unique ability enables aerodynamic development and part manufacturing to be completed in weeks, not months.
