We help innovative engineers 3D print end-use components that they can trust, using the world’s most rugged photopolymer resins.
Behind the Scenes - polySpectra Founder AMA Live this Thursday
|
You are cordially invited to an exclusive "ask me anything" with polySpectra founder Raymond Weitekamp, this Thursday at 9am Pacific. All things additive manufacturing are fair game, including any final questions you might have about COR Zero before Thursday night's Kickstarter campaign close. Not sure if you can make it? Just reply to this email with your question, and make sure to register so that you receive the recording link. It is election day here in the US, please make sure to get out and vote! ...and if you end up waiting in line, take a listen to this recent podcast episode with Raymond. One of the major topics of discussion is how to "make America great at manufacturing (again)". Make it real. polySpectra P.S. - We've been getting a ton of questions about how we used AI to make our smash hit COR Zero Trailer. While we will prioritize questions about 3D printing on Thursday's AMA, if there is time Raymond would be happy to discuss some of his favorite generative AI tools and tricks. |

Big news from polySpectra! We've teamed up with Tethon 3D to bring you something truly groundbreaking: ThOR 10. You guessed it: Tethon + Cyclic Olefin Resin = ThOR. ThoR is polySpectra's first composite material, designed to compete with glass-filled engineering polymers. Engineers have long been looking for materials that bridge the gap – something stiffer and more heat-resistant than typical photopolymers, but tougher and easier to process than traditional ceramics or metals. Enter ThOR 10:...
Unfortunately for engineers, the spec sheet isn’t going to tell you everything you need to know about how a material will perform in the real world. Standardized tests from organizations such as ASTM and ISO are designed to be easy to perform and relevant to a broad range of applications and materials. In this regard, they represent a “lowest common denominator” approach. There purpose is the be “standard”, not to be the best representation of reality. In this article, we pick a fight with...
After 4000 days of development, we proudly present: COR Zero! COR Zero is an extremely rugged resin that you can 3D print in your home workshop. We're launching COR Zero today in partnership with Kickstarter. What's new? The ability to print COR Zero at home, using inexpensive equipment: a freezer, a microwave, and a resin 3D printer. What's the same? The best-in-class combination of thermomechanical performance, bio-compatibility, and chemical resistance of polySpectra's Cyclic Olefin...
