ViscoTec makes it possible to print two-component liquids and pastes with maximum and consistent precision over the entire printing process: 3D printers have long been used in the industrial environment and are becoming even more interesting and lucrative for additive production thanks to further developments and increasing professionalism. For producing three-dimensional objects, thermoplastics, ceramics or metals are usually used. But in addition to the classical materials in 3D printing, viscous fluids and pastes based on a two-component polymer are increasingly used. These include, for example, silicones, epoxy resins, polyurethanes, acrylates and polyester resins.
