Exclusive Interview with the Henkel LOCTITE Team on its Entry Into the 3D Printing Market https://ift.tt/2yz8t5b Henkel is a 143-year-old company with over 53,000 employees that is well known for Pritt and Loctite glue, SYOSS shampoos, Sun and Persil detergent as well as Right Guard deodorant. Henkel’s products are available worldwide and they’re usually active in large product categories often selling directly to consumers. The firm, however, has entered the 3D printing market with a flurry of business to business activity and end consumer products. Henkel is working with companies such as EnvisionTEC and Origin on photopolymer resins, has launched its own resins, has 3D printing finishing kits and specialized 3D print finishing machines (which I swear were both ideas I gave them), has opened a new facility and has acquired Molecule Corp. Through their Loctite brand and division, the company is developing and launching products aimed at facilitating 3D printing as well as materials aimed to make it more prevalent. Henkel seems intent to put its considerable weight behind expanding 3D printing applications and industrialization, so we interviewed their 3D printing management team to find out more.
