6K Additive, a division of 6K, and a leading entity in the production of sustainable advanced materials for additive manufacturing and energy<\/a> storage, is expanding commercial operations into Europe and has named EU industry veteran Fran\u00e7ois Bonjour as the European Sales Director. The new expansion will also support the increased interest in 6K Additive powders from strategic EU customers and AM system manufacturers.<\/p>\n

6K Additive has named EU industry veteran Fran\u00e7ois Bonjour as the European Sales Director. <\/p>\n

\u201cOver the last two years, we\u2019ve established 6K Additive in North America as the go-to organization for high-quality AM powder with environment<\/a>al and sustainable benefits that no other powder manufacturer can offer. We\u2019re excited to bring our powders to the European market where a high value is placed on technologies that can contribute to the circular economy and meet their stringent quality metrics,\u201d said Frank Roberts, president of 6K Additive. \u201cHaving a leader like Fran\u00e7ois on the ground in Europe who has the experience, knowledge, and reputation will be invaluable as we ramp up our EU commercial efforts over the coming months. This is especially important given the interest we\u2019ve seen from the printer OEMs and strategic customers based in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n

6K Additive\u2019s mission is to provide a solution for global decarbonization in producing performance additive manufacturing materials that are critical to production in markets such as aerospace<\/a>, medical<\/a> and industrial application<\/a>s. The company recently released results from an LCA study conducted by Foresight Management comparing the environment<\/a>al impact of 6K\u2019s UniMelt microwave plasma technology to current atomization technologies to produce metal powders. The results showed a 91% reduction in energy<\/a> use and a 91.5% reduction in carbon emissions when using the 6K UniMelt process.<\/p>\n

Fran\u00e7ois joins 6K Additive, having spent the last ten-plus years working in the metal powder and alloys markets with organizations such as Powder Alloy Corporation, Tekna Plasma System, and TIG, where he was responsible for sales and business development in Europe. Mr. Bonjour also spent eight years at ThyssenKrupp, where he worked with leading aerospace<\/a> companies such as GE Aviation, Airbus, Safran, and others.<\/p>\n

DuraForm PAx Natural developed by 3D Systems and EMS-GRILTECH: <\/a>3D Systems is the exclusive distributor of this material which can be used to manufacture tough, lightweight, production-grade parts for applications such as orthotics, tooling handles, splints and braces, ducting in rugged environments, living hinges, liquid reservoirs, and enclosures requiring high impact and high toughness. DuraForm PAx Natural is designed to print at a low temperature (i.e., 120\u00b0C) which facilitates efficiencies in both printing and post-processing. When compared to other nylon materials (i.e., PA-11 and PA-12), DuraForm PAx Natural enables significantly reduced time to parts-in-hand which not only helps service bureaus and manufacturers maintain their competitiveness but also helps accelerate supply chains. The low printing temperature of this material enables high throughput, and its designation as a clean running material results in low operator maintenance. With the lower printing temperature, parts can be ready to ship the day after an order is received. Similar PA12-based parts will need another day before a part is ready to be shipped.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
