Why this company matters

Evonik is a global specialty chemicals company that has built a broad portfolio of polymer materials for additive manufacturing. Its INFINAM brand includes polyamide powders such as PA12 and PA613, PEEK filaments, thermoplastic amide powders, and photopolymer resins. The company also supplies VESTOSINT polyamide 12 powders and RESOMER bioresorbable polymers for medical applications. With more than 20 years of experience producing polymer powders for 3D printing, Evonik positions itself as a leading supplier of ready-to-use materials compatible with multiple printer brands.

The company targets industrial manufacturers in automotive, aerospace, medical devices, electronics, and consumer goods. Its materials are used in powder bed fusion processes such as HP Multi Jet Fusion and EOS laser sintering, as well as in stereolithography and filament-based printing. Evonik has established partnerships with major printer OEMs including HP, EOS, Stratasys, Carbon, 3D Systems, Cubicure, Evolve Additive Solutions, and Farsoon. These collaborations focus on material certification and process optimization for production-grade parts.

Evonik's competitive advantage lies in its deep polymer science expertise and global supply chain, which enable tailored material properties and reliable delivery. The company competes with Arkema, BASF 3D Printing Solutions, and Solvay in the polymer AM materials space. A key open question is how Evonik will maintain its position as the polyamide powder market matures and new high-performance thermoplastics enter the field. Its 2013 public listing and the opening of an advanced 3D printing technology center in Austin, Texas, signal continued investment in AM-specific R&D and customer support.
