Forward AM partners with Shapeways to enable additive production at scale AM Industry

by Business

Forward AM, BASF’s brand for high-performance materials and services for 3D printing, has partnered with Shapeways, the world’s leading technology platform for product creation through 3D printing, to offer customers the ability to order 3D printed items online made with Forward AM material. The co-branded website uses Shapeways’ proprietary technology and allows consumers to learn more about Forward AM materials, upload 3D models, get instant pricing for the manufacture of finished products, and quickly and easily place an order. Interestingly, BASF also previously acquired 3D printing service provider Sculpteo as the company seems to be focused on combining its extensive polymer material experience with powerful 3D printing service capabilities.
