Liquid Crystal Polymers

NematX is pioneering the use of liquid crystal polymers (LCP) in additive manufacturing. By controlling the material microstructure during 3D printing we produce high-performance end-use parts with an unmatched printing precision. With our material-centered approach we offer a complete manufacturing solution that meets highest industrial standards.

    yes

At NematX we design and produce our proprietary LCP filaments according to the highest quality standards using a sophisticated in-line monitoring system to continuously control filament diameter and ovality during production. Manufacturing precision starts with the material quality and our high-accuracy filaments facilitate part production at quality levels of established processing solutions.
