Repsol Is Already Working with the TUMAKER NX Pro Pellets

TUMAKER continues to be closely linked to research. A large number of companies see this sector as an uncertain area with limited profitability when it comes to investment. At TUMAKER, however, we are committed to supporting this environment and strengthening its projects with our products.

The latest success story in the research sector has been the incorporation of a TUMAKER NX Pro Pellets machine at Repsol. Repsol’s use of this technology is no coincidence. Never before has it been so simple and effective to work with materials of this kind.

Thanks to the possibilities offered by TUMAKER pellet 3D printing, internationally renowned companies such as Repsol are finding solutions to problems that were impossible to overcome with previous working methods. In addition, processes that previously required considerable financial investment and significant amounts of time become more affordable activities thanks to this production technique.

Why Has Repsol Chosen the TUMAKER NX Pro Pellets?

As part of its commitment to innovation, Repsol is involved in the creation of new, more sustainable and efficient materials, such as polymers specifically designed to be used directly as 3D printing pellets, of which Repsol markets five polypropylene products. The rapid development enabled by additive manufacturing makes it a production method that fits perfectly with its vision for the present and the future.

With the aim of optimising technical materials and innovating in additive manufacturing, Repsol has found the missing piece in the TUMAKER NX Pro Pellets. In its development processes for new materials for the industrial sector, the TUMAKER NX Pro Pellets provides Repsol with a fundamental advantage. Thanks to its exclusive technology, material testing and optimisation can be carried out in much less time, as there is no need to convert the materials into filament. In addition, printing with pellets opens up a range of possibilities never before seen in the industry. Working with materials that do not exist in filament form enables 3D printing with proprietary materials, certified materials and approved materials.

This advantage makes a significant difference. As part of Repsol’s objective to build a more sustainable, efficient and safer future for everyone, 3D printing will play an important role. Furthermore, with the TUMAKER NX Pro Pellets, research can expand into new areas.

Pellet 3D Printing in Different Sectors

The number of users satisfied with the pellet 3D printing technology developed by TUMAKER continues to grow. Repsol is committed to developing new polypropylene materials in pellet form for additive manufacturing. With this choice, it joins the many organisations already using this innovative technology in their regular activities.

Some examples include the laboratory at the University of Vigo, where pellets are currently being used for biomedical engineering applications, and the Aragón Institute for Engineering Research (I3A), which uses this technology to produce biodegradable scaffolds that preserve the mechanical properties of bone tissue while the scaffolds themselves are degraded and absorbed by the body’s fluids.

It might seem impossible for a single production method to carry out such different tasks effectively and efficiently. Being a decisive element in the industrial sector, scientific fields and research is something that only pellet 3D printing can achieve. In addition, this technique is complemented by the wide range of machinery offered by TUMAKER. These factors make the brand a highly important asset in material processing over the coming years.

Specific TUMAKER Solutions

Today, it is difficult not to be familiar with the range of TUMAKER products that use pellet print heads. Professional 3D printers, large-format machines, independent dual print heads… The possibilities are endless.

Pellet production emerges as an effective solution to the material limitations associated with filament printing. The ability to print with materials beyond those available in filament form takes 3D printing to the next level.

Furthermore, the specific solutions provided by TUMAKER allow users to configure the 3D printer itself according to its intended application. In addition, with the range of dual printers, independent Bowden, Direct Drive and Pellets print heads can be combined to create a unique customised machine.

Ultimately, innovation is one of the foundations of today’s society. It is essential for research to evolve alongside other sectors in order to make progress. That is why at TUMAKER we maintain our commitment to research and the development of new technologies.
