PRESCOTT, Wis., Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Infinite
Material Solutions ("Infinite™") and Controllo Qualità srl
("Controllo Qualità") have announced today that they have entered
into a strategic distribution partnership. According to the
agreement, Controllo Qualità will become a regional distributor for
Infinite, making the company's breakthrough 3D printing products
widely available to Italian manufacturers for the first time.
Infinite, a US-based innovator in novel materials for additive
manufacturing, recently brought to market a water-only-soluble 3D
printing support material called AquaSys® 180.
Engineered for exceptional temperature stability, this new product
is the first of its kind that is compatible with the parameters
needed to print popular thermoplastics, such as
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), Polyetherimide (PEI),
Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) and Polyphenylsulfone (PPSU). This
makes it the only known solution for rapidly producing complex,
contiguous parts using these thermoplastics, which are highly
appealing in industries such as aerospace and automotive.
Aquasys® 180 provides a user-friendly alternative
to traditional breakaway supports.
Few leaders within the 3D printing space have been more
dedicated to uncovering the potential of Infinite's products than
Controllo Qualità. Primarily a metrological laboratory, the
company's additive manufacturing division has been testing
AquaSys® 180 since its launch last fall, and its
predecessor AquaSys® 120 since 2019.
Now, since validating the materials' performance and discerning
their ideal parameters for key applications like carbon fiber
lamination, the innovators at Controllo Qualità are ready to share
what they've learned with their customers. The company will
continue to use AquaSys® products in its in-house
3D printing services, and act as a major distribution arm within
Italy, selling filament spools to
qualified resellers within the region.
"Controllo Qualità is the true definition of an early adopter
and trusted partner" said Larry
Doerr, Chief Operating Officer at Infinite Material
Solutions. "They are focused on determining the boundaries of
performance, collaborating to understand best practice printing
parameters, helping get the word out, and achieving success with
AquaSys® 120 and
AquaSys® 180."
