Bondtech and Slice Engineering join forces to create and launch an extended range of print-head solutions for the desktop and industrial 3d printing space.
Bondtech (Sweden) and Slice Engineering (USA) have signed an agreement for strategic co-operation on product development.
The agreement was signed into effect by Martin Bondeus and Daniel Barousse, the owner of Bondtech, and CEO & Co-founder of Slice Engineering (Slice), respectively.
This agreement be will translate into:
- Closer integration of technologies with cost and performance benefits;
- Sharing of R&D resources - legacy, present, and future - to enjoy a shorter time to market for new products and systems;
- Creation of a broader range of solutions and alternative versions to adapt to each other’s products;
- Long term investment in building comprehensive, consistent, and high-performance offers focused on delivering whole print head systems solutions that cater to the full breadth of market segments, including consumer, professional and industrial spaces.
The aim of this agreement is sharing the pool of knowledge - in materials technology, filament extrusion, and 3D printing - to develop complementary, customized and coordinated offers between Bondtech’s feeders and Slice’s hotends, that both print head manufacturer companies can use to go to market with full solutions.
