polySpectra & Keyland Polymer Announce Strategic Partnership to 3D Print Consumer Goods with Any Color

The combination of UVMax® powder coatings and COR Alpha 3D-printed parts will enable a new generation of consumer goods by unlocking any shape, in any color, for any application.

BERKELEY, Calif., Feb. 24, 2022 — (PRNewswire) — Keyland Polymer and polySpectra today announced a strategic partnership to provide UVMax® powder coatings to COR Alpha 3D printed parts. This collaboration unlocks a new modular approach to additive manufacturing, enabling the direct digital fabrication of end-use polymer components for a wide variety of applications.

"The promise of 3D printing has always been to help innovators to quickly and efficiently make their ideas real," said polySpectra Founder and CEO Raymond Weitekamp. "For 3D printing to make the transition into true production-grade additive manufacturing  designers, inventors and engineers need to be able to trust that their printed parts will have the accuracy, aesthetics and durability required to use in their application. We are now making good on that promise."

The surface color and texture of the UVMax® coating can be tailored to make COR Alpha 3D printed parts indistinguishable from traditionally-manufactured polymer products. The color-matching capabilities of Keyland, combined with the versatility of polySpectra's Cyclic Olefin Resin (COR) family of materials  now enable consumer and industrial brands to adopt a completely new approach to digital manufacturing. Factors that make this partnership so unique include:

"We have spent years searching for a scalable & durable coating solution that would enable our customers to apply their favorite brand colors to COR Alpha parts," said Weitekamp. "With UVMax®, we finally found the solution."

"Typical additive manufacturing polymers are challenging to coat. The high thermal stability of COR Alpha allows for a thorough and complete coating without the concern of warping or degrading the material." Andrew S. Walton, Business Development Manager at Keyland Polymer.
