Polymertal and UBQ Materials Partner to Create Lightweight, Sustainable Material With Metallic Functionalities - UBQ Materials
UBQ Materials has announced a partnership with Polymertal to develop a new sustainable material called SPP-50XX. The material contains UBQ, a substitute for durable plastics made from unsorted household waste. The partnership aims to create a material that can compete with lightweight metals like aluminum in terms of toughness, thermal resistance, and electromagnetic shielding. SPP-50XX will consist of 20% UBQ and 80% polypropylene, with a layer of copper and nickel serving as the metal plating. The inclusion of UBQ in the material reduces its carbon footprint by approximately 50% compared to aluminum. The partnership allows manufacturers to create socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable products.

3D printing company BigRep and Polymertal are using large-scale 3D printing to prototype car parts, including an exhaust manifold. The process is faster and more cost-effective than traditional manufacturing methods, and the resulting parts have mechanical properties similar to finished parts, making them suitable for real functional testing. The manifold was 3D printed in 15 hours using PLA and PRO HT filament, and then coated with 20-micron-thick nickel in a direct metalization plating process. The material cost was less than €20.

Polymertal Uses BigRep to Produce 3D Printed Metal Plated End Use Parts Video
The article features a video showcasing BigReps partnership with Polymertal, a company specializing in producing metal plated end-use parts. Using BigReps 3D printing system, Polymertal is able to produce large size components for aerospace applications. The article highlights the advantages of 3D printed metal-plated production, including weight reduction, cost savings, and design flexibility. Polymertal has successfully metal-plated an aerospace fuel tank 3D printed on a BigRep ONE, which has the potential to replace current solid-aluminum designs. The fuel tank will be installed and tested on an unmanned aerial vehicle.
