FARSOON Technologies, a global leader in the development and manufacturing of industrial-grade laser powder bed fusion systems, and FABULOUS, a specialist in polymeric materials for 3D printing, announce a major breakthrough for the food and pharmaceutical industries. With DETECT, an innovative, food-safe certified material, FARSOON’s Flight® 3D printing solutions now enable large-scale, high-resolution production of parts suitable for food contact in the food and pharmaceutical packaging sectors.
The DETECT material developed by FABULOUS offers unique advantages, including its blue PA11 base, which ensures optimal optical detection of parts, and a polymer-metal composite design, adapted for metal detection via X-rays in inspection systems. Certified for food contact compliance with EU 10/2011 and FDA CFR 21 standards, DETECT also adheres to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines as per EU Regulation 2023/06, making it a sustainable and responsible choice with bio-based components.FARSOON’s Flight® 3D printers also deliver unparalleled performance. Featuring ultra-fast production speeds due to reduced scanner exposure time, the printers offer high resolution with precise laser focus, allowing for fine detailing. An open platform design further enables compatibility with technical materials for increased flexibility in production.The first production series using the DETECT material was completed by 3D INFINITY, a 3D printing parts manufacturer for the pharmaceutical sector based in Belgium. |
