93 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE JANUARY 2020 MAGNUM VENUS PRODUCTS to produce and launch PRD 1520, Polynt’s formulated reactive monomer material, specifically developed for use in the MVP RAM machine. The material boasts superior interlaminar adhesion, exceptional machinability, and high heat distortion temperature, compatible with aerospace grade tooling application. MVP is also collaborating with Dixie Chemical to develop an epoxy based resin for the RAM. Going forward, Kastura adds that MVP is also focusing on robotics, which includes a teachable robotic arm able to apply materials in a consistent, repeatable pattern to improve product quality and efficiency. This technology is unique because it does not require any programming and is Kastura explains. “Thermosets will make the parts that are printed stronger, have better thermal properties, and will bridge some of the gaps in the solutions that people are looking for, specifically for aerospace and other advanced industries.” This past September, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Polynt-Reichhold Group, one of the world’s largest manufacturers and suppliers of specialties, intermediates, and composites for the industrial, transportation, building and construction, marine, medical, consumer, and food additive markets, MVP deployed the first large-scale RAM system commercially available to industry.
