Arkema continues to drive the future of additive manufacturing with a range of 3D printing oligomers to deliver the right balance of mechanical performance, reactivity, and surface properties across every formulation need — from flexible and impact-resistant resins to rigid and high-temperature materials.

As additive manufacturing evolves, formulators are redefining what’s possible — and materials are at the heart of that transformation. Sartomer® UV-curable oligomers deliver the building blocks for resins that combine precision, durability, and advanced performance, helping innovators push boundaries in 3D printing. 

Whether you’re targeting rigid, flexible, or toughened systems, our oligomers are engineered to deliver:

  • Tailored mechanical properties for structural and functional parts
  • Optimized reactivity and viscosity for faster print speeds and smooth surface finish
  • Enhanced stability and durability under UV and thermal stress
  • Durable performance, enabling long-lasting materials with lower processing energy

With our N3xtDimension® custom formulations and deep UV-curing expertise, Arkema can partner to develop the resins of tomorrow — from industrial prototyping to end-use manufacturing.
