Join us to learn about the 3D filament Kimya ABS-ESD, thanks to which industrials can produce and use ESD-safe parts providing secure operations in explosive zones, cleanroom environments, and manufacturing plants of sensitive industrial devices.

Sensitive industrial devices such as electronic/electrical components (printed circuit boards, jigs) can be damaged when electrostatic discharge occurs even at very low voltage. In cleanroom environments, controlling electrostatic discharge is important to prevent component failure during the production process and to not disturb the balance of the room. In explosive environments such as ATEX (Atmospheres Explosives), objects that charge and discharge static electricity could produce a spark and thus cause an explosion. Therefore, having ESD-safe parts are mandatory to avoid this electrostatic dissipation.

Kimya ABS-ESD, with it’s bespoke UltiMaker printers optimized profile, is ideal for applications that require protection against electrostatic discharge. It has the mechanical properties of ABS and is optimized for ESD-safe applications, making it an ideal material for ESD-safe parts. It also has relatively high temperature resistance up to 90°C.

Dave Macfie is the Director of 3D Printer Sales for Cimquest, helping companies implement 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing technologies for more than 20 years. He has a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Some of the benefits Cimquest’s customers realize include product improvement, market penetration, and end-use part fabrication, especially when traditional methods are cost or time prohibitive.

Misha Nesaratnam is Product Manager at Kimya, an ARMOR GROUP company. After 5 years in product development at Parrot and nearly 4 years at Bescent (Maison Berger Paris) in the robotics and consumer goods industry, Misha came to Kimya to take over the product management. She works with customers and company leadership to define the product direction.
