Episode 5: Materials compounding and future of FFF materials, with Thomas Collet, LEHVOSS Group

Matt Griffin speaks with Thomas Collet, Director 3D Printing Materials and Marketing at LEHVOSS Group, about FFF 3D printing materials and how they are shaped through compounding to meet functional requirements. LEHVOSS Group is a leading material developer and global manufacturer of customized polymers with 125 years of innovation in chemical and mineral specialties. It has pursued 3D printing for the past nine years, offering high-performance materials with a broad portfolio and engineering support. LEHVOSS Group is an expert in understanding how to use functional additives to achieve end-use parts with materials reinforced with carbon fiber, glass sphere, ceramic, and more. 

Thomas will guide us through the LEHVOSS Group’s 3D printing material portfolio, providing detail on specific materials’ properties and showing how end-users can better understand material requirements – as well as what can be achieved in specific compounds and formulations.  He also gives insight into the role of certified materials in empowering engineers and designers to achieve more from the parts that they design and execute through additive manufacturing strategies such as FFF and SLS.
