On Nov. 15, Arkema inaugurated a Global Center of Excellence for 3D Printing within its Cerdato Research & Development Center in Serquigny, Normandy (France).
Arkema and the Normandy Region intend this new center of excellence dedicated to additive manufacturing based on high-performance polymers, to be of benefit to companies and training organizations in the region, as part of a collaborative initiative striving for swift adoption of these new production methods.
In Serquigny, in the Group’s largest research laboratory dedicated to advanced materials, Arkema has decided to open, in partnership with the Normandy Region, a new Global Center of Excellence for 3D printing by powder bed fusion. This new center houses collaborative areas and latest generation printers.
This new platform dedicated to additive manufacturing will help address a dual objective:

This new platform dedicated to additive manufacturing will help address a dual objective:
- Offer collaborative space for the center’s research teams and space for developing innovative products on commercial printers from HP, EOS and Prodways, allowing our partners to convert new applications to 3D printing;
- Be part of an ecosystem of local industries and training organizations by offering various forms of partnerships, e.g. technical or economic feasibility studies into the additive manufacturing of industrial parts, and demonstrations at awareness sessions on these new forms of part production.
