China3D printingNet September 8, headquartered in Vancouver3D printingStart-up company 3DQue announced the first high-volume installation on Mitsubishi Chemical High Performance Polymers (MCPP)3D printingProduction device QPoD.
MCPP is wholly owned by New York-based Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings (MCHC), which produces polymer-based filaments that focus on high-performance materials for end-use parts. Its new materials testing laboratory in Warren, Michigan will analyze the functionality of QPoD.
“We are very happy with[MCPP]Cooperate to test the performance of QPoD and compatibility with various materials. “3DQue Innovation Director Mateo Pekic explained.
“It is 12 to 40 times faster than mass production, and its cost is comparable to volume injection molding. This means faster innovation and the ability to seamlessly expand production.”

Mass FFF 3D printing
QPoD is a mass production unit with 9 units3D printingThe machine uses a compact 3×3 array with a total area of 10 square feet. The system debuted on RAPID + TCT and can manage different filaments and nozzles. QPoD uses the company’s automation technology QSuite, which can3D printingThe machines and operations are remotely controlled around the clock, including scheduling and monitoring, for mass production of parts.
In addition, QPoD can assign files to printers, automatically delete parts, remind the operator when printing is complete, reset the printer, and automatically start a print job.
Under the development of QPoD, 3DQue CEO and co-founder Steph Sharp said, “So far, plastics3D printingDue to the high cost of disassembling parts and lack of scalability, it cannot meet today’s manufacturing requirements.
Mateo Pekic has been able to solve a problem that has plagued some of the world’s leading materials science, engineering and innovation experts.3D printingMachine automation to safely mass-produce complex plastic parts. “

MCPP acquires Dutch Filaments
Previously, MCPP acquired Dutch Filaments, a private-label filament manufacturer, to expand its market position. After the acquisition, Richard Luiken, co-founder of Dutch Filaments, said:“With the support of Mitsubishi Chemical’s high-performance polymers, Dutch filament is not only able to better meet the fast-growing filament demand, but the new expertise, materials and technology will enable Mitsubishi Chemical’s global footprint to further promote our3D printingContribution of the market. “
