Significant role in creation of Infinite Material Solutions (IMS) joint venture between Nagase America and InterFacial Consultants (IFC) in August 2018. IFC was subsequently acquired by Nagase in March 2020. IMS is a new and fast growing company in the 3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing space dedicated to disruptive materials, including our first 2 products: AquaSys 120 and AquaSys 180 (launched in 2019 and 2020, respectively). These two materials are revolutionary water-soluble support materials capable of operating at moderate and high chamber temperatures for FFF/FDM-type 3D printing. Not only are they water soluble, but they are compatible with a wide variety of build materials, dissolve up to 6x faster than PVA, and are environmentally safe for easy disposal. Show less
