Solvay reveals the winner of the third edition of its international Additive Manufacturing (AM) Cup 2021 for participants to design a real-world industrial 3D printed application capable of revolutionizing production line agility, using Solvay's easy-to-print Solef PVDF AM Filaments. The winner was selected from among 60 international teams who took part in the challenge.
As covid-19 restrictions would have made it hard for participants to directly print their designs, Solvay organized for the winning designs to be printed directly by Ultimaker using their S5 desktop printer. The application will then be tested by

Past editions of the Solvay AM Cup challenge have also been very successful and inspiring and illustrate how open-source innovation can create customized AM solutions from design to final application.
'The winning teams have demonstrated the potential of high-performance 3D printing for fabricating complex polymer shapes and overcome the challenges of fused filament fabrication (FFF) to create parts that can virtually match the performance and quality of conventional injection molded parts', explained Brian Alexander, AM Global Product & Application Manager at Solvay.
Solvay has taken a lead in the rapidly evolving AM market and offers a growing range of filaments for applications in different printing and fusion processes. Besides Solef PVDF, Solvay's portfolio also comprises KetaSpire PEEK and Radel PPSU filaments, which include medical and
