Compose-it 3D

Compose-it 3D is the first scale-up project that started within the Manufacturing NextMaterials programme (MNM).In a cross-border collaboration, Opiliones B.V. and 3D-Druck Bognar &nbsp;will work together on the development of 3D printing technology and materials.Composite granules for advanced 3D printers The aim of the scale-up project is to develop three types of composite granules, which will be used as raw materials for Opiliones' advanced granular 3D printers. These materials are suitable for printing engineering and structural parts for machinery and household appliances. An important step is the further development of the Opiliones Metal Granulate 3DPrinter, which will be adapted to process the new composite granulate. This should pave the way for more efficient, cost-effective and sustainable production with 3D printing. The first results are expected mid 2025.Dutch and German expertise matched&nbsp; Opiliones B.V. has proven to be an innovator in the development, production and sale of large-scale ‘Delta’ FDM 3D printers. Thanks to their unique printing platform, the Dutch company has made significant technological advances, making it possible to efficiently print materials such as PA composite, concrete and metal in addition to plastics. This makes Opiliones the specialist in scalable FDM 3D printing solutions.German firm 3D-Druck Bognar, founded by engineer Lars Bognar, brings extensive expertise in 3D printing materials to the project. With more than a decade of experience, gained at Ford Motor Company among others, Bognar focuses on developing innovative materials that take 3D printing to the next level. His expertise in additive manufacturing and materials science makes 3D-Druck Bognar the ideal partner in this project.&nbsp;
