BasaranTechnologies, OmniformTechnology and Otostech, three Turkish companies, have formed a joint venture to launch a facility dedicated to large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM), called “LFAM Center”. The plant is located in Cayirova Gebze, 20km from Istanbul. It will initially have three LFAM robotic systems supplied by Caracol, Italy. The three companies’ goal in pooling their resources is to better meet the needs of various sectors, including defence, marine, architecture, with the production of models, plugs, moulds and final products.
Each of the three players is a leading company in its field. #Basaran Technology is specialised in industrial-scale 3D printing, while #Omniform is one of the biggest suppliers of raw materials, machines and intermediate products for composites production and #Ostotech produces #composite parts, moulds, models and products, mainly for the marine industry.
Caracol provides Heron AM, a modular platform for large-scale #3Dprinting of composite parts. In March 2024, Basaran Technology began offering #LFAM services to its customers via Caracol’s Heron AM platform. The machines supplied by #Caracol will use all types of polymer compounds (granules), made from recycled PET, PC, PP and ABS, with glass or carbon fibre.
