Kimya by ARMOR Group commits to offering solutions to specific needs of industrialists and manufacturers thanks to materials formulated and developed on demand. They have tailored their filament formulations perfectly to support the production process and the expected use value of the produced object.
Kimya originates from the Arab word لاكيميءا, alkīmiyā, from which the word alchemy derives. The goal is to combine additive manufacturing with this art of transmuting metals. Their name is evocative, it carries the promise of transformation from initial material to something wonderful: the 3D material becomes the finished object.
