Techmer PM, a materials development company, becomes the first materials supplier to join Purdue University‘s Consortium for Composites Additive Manufacturing and Simulation (CAMS).
Purdue University’s Composites Manufacturing and Simulation Center (CMSC), home of the CAMS consortium, is known worldwide for its expertise in the manufacturing, simulation and characterization of composite materials. The new partnership within the CAMS consortium will promote innovation and sustainability in materials science by bringing together leading researchers, industry experts and academic institutions. The addition of Techmer PM to this prestigious group underscores the company’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of materials solutions.
“We are honored to join Purdue University’s CAMS Consortium and collaborate with some of the brightest minds in materials science and additive manufacturing,” said Mike McHenry, chief executive officer of Techmer PM. “The value this partnership will bring to our customers is significant. We aim to continue driving transformative changes in serving our customers.”
Techmer PM is at the forefront of the plastics industry and is known for its advanced research and development initiatives. The company’s portfolio includes a variety of high-performance materials that meet the evolving needs of different sectors. By joining the CAMS consortium, Techmer PM aims to leverage collective expertise, such as Purdue University’s ADDITIVE3D simulation, to accelerate the development of materials for LFAM.
Dr. Eduardo Barocio, Director of Additive Manufacturing, expressed his enthusiasm about the new partnership: “Techmer PM and the CMSC team have a long-standing relationship, and we’re thrilled to welcome them into the CAMS consortium. Their track record of excellence and commitment to sustainability aligns perfectly with our mission. We look forward to achieving great things with this partnership.”
The CAMS consortium will benefit from Techmer PM’s extensive expertise and technological advancements, particularly in recycling technologies and their application to LFAM.
Jenna Hunt, Business Development Manager for Additive Manufacturing, Techmer PM, added, “The ADDITIVE3D simulation data provides a remarkable baseline and offers the ability to make accurate machine-specific material cards. Through this unique partnership, we will broaden our material card portfolio to streamline users’ processes, reducing the number of iterations needed to print a part successfully – ultimately saving time and money while accelerating speed to market.”
Together with Purdue University, Techmer PM will combine physics and chemistry to develop robust, optimized materials for LFAM while providing education, validated simulation tools, material characterization and industry best practices.
