近期,工業級3D打印領航企業華曙高科與法國3D打印聚合物材料專家FABULOUS共同宣布了一項重大突破——
在食品和制藥行業中,利用FABULOUS創新的食品安全認證材料DETECT與華曙高科Flight®技術3D打印解決方案,成功實現了適用于食品、藥品行業接觸部件的高精度、批量化生產。

FABULOUS開發的DETECT材料獨具優勢,其中藍色PA11材料能確保對部件實施最佳光學檢測,而聚合物-金屬復合材料設計則適用于通過X光檢測系統進行金屬檢測。DETECT材料不僅已通過EU 10/2011和FDA CFR 21標準的食品接觸認證,還嚴格遵循歐盟法規EU Regulation 2023/06中的Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)指南,因此成為了可持續發展和綠色安全生物基材料的優選。

華曙高科Flight® 3D打印設備性能卓越,具備超快的生產速度,實現高分辨率打印,展現出精細入微的細節。其開源優勢進一步增強了與創新材料的兼容性,大幅提升了生產靈活性。
值得一提的是,采用FABULOUS的DETECT材料完成的首批量產部件正是由比利時3D打印服務商3D INFINITY生產的,這些部件已應用于制藥行業。
New 3D Printing Solution by FARSOON and FABULOUS Boosts Mass Production for Food and Pharma
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.
