MakerPoint, miniFactory and Armor Group start unique partnership in the Benelux

Arnhem, February 15th 2019 - Today MakerPoint, miniFactory and Armor Group announced a partnership in which MakerPoint will become official reseller of miniFactory industrial ultra-polymer 3D printers and KIMYA 3D materials manufactured by Armor. With the proven technology of miniFactory Ultra 3D-printers, the materials knowledge of Armor as leading company in ink and polymer formulation, customized material development and production and the leading position of MakerPoint as supplier of digital fabrication solutions, parties aim to provide  industrial companies a complete solution for Additive Manufacturing of end-use parts made of high-quality plastics like PEKK, PEEK, PEI (Ultem) and PPSU.

3D printing is developing fast as a manufacturing technology for end products made of high-performance thermoplastics.
