MC2 (Metal Clad Composite) combines two technologies to deliver metal
performance without machining. The process combines the high strength physical
properties of the Somos' NanoTool™ resin (created via nanoparticle technology)
with the nickel plating expertise of
RePliForm. The end result is a highly stiffened composite with
significantly enhanced physical properties for low-volume production.
The MC2 process expands the use of SL-produced NanoTool parts for the medical,
aerospace and automotive industries in a number of new application areas such
as:
Structural (approaches the strength of die cast metal)
EMI Shielding
Decorative
Barrier
Thermal
Abrasion Resistance
