Paris. 21 June 2019. Dedienne Multiplasturgy® Group, specialist in the design and manufacture of high performance plastic and composite technical parts, replacing metal parts, becomes THE first French manufacturer to equip itself with the EOS P 810 laser sintering machine for EOS HT-23 material (based on Kepstan® PEKK, Extreme Polymer from Arkema, reinforced with Carbon Fibers).
Dedienne Multiplasturgy® Group has always worked in a continuous stream of innovations. In this context, the Group is in the process of creating a complete “Atelier Dedienne 3D” for additive production-oriented manufacturing in small and medium-sized series. In April 2019, a first machine was put into service, allowing series in additive manufacturing based on Rilsan® Polyamide 11, high performance bio-based polymer, derived entirely from sustainable castor oil and manufactured by Arkema.
In October, the “Atelier Dedienne 3D” will host the EOS P 810 machine to produce EOS HT-23 parts, an EOS powder made from Kepstan® PEKK, the extreme polymer supplied by Arkema, reinforced with carbon fibers. EOS P 810 is the first laser sintering solution for mass production of demanding high temperature PEKK polymer functional parts.
Dedienne Multiplasturgy® Group is THE first French equipped manufacturer delivering functional parts and components internationally. With a construction volume of 700 x 380 x 380 mm, EOS P 810 allows fast and economical production of high-performance techno polymer parts directly from CAD data without the need for tooling. EOS HT-23 parts offer high strength at low weight and withstand temperatures well above 200°C. They can also be metallized to provide electrical continuity or serve as electromagnetic shielding, technologies that are mastered and implemented internally by Dedienne Multiplasturgy® Group.
This new technology is perfectly in line with Dedienne Multiplasturgy® Group’s focus on providing solutions for lighter parts and metal substitution. It is the perfect solution to meet the demanding requirements of the aerospace and defense sectors in particular.
