Supernova

Supernova, a US headquartered company with
Spanish roots, is also a trailblazer for viscous
printing. Pioneering viscous lithography manu-
facturing (VLM), Supernova’s technology de-
posits precise viscogel laminates followed by a
controlled photopolymerization. Viscogels are
Supernova’s proprietary high viscosity photopol-
ymers. Moreover, the VLM technique claims the
ability to process materials of unlimited viscosity.
This wide-ranging capability allows an impressive
resin portfolio spanning rigid, high impact plastic
to elastomeric, high tear strength silicone mate-
rials. Research materials are under development
including unfilled dielectric ESD battery plastic
and investment casting. Pulse One, Supernovas Source – PLASTICS ENGINEERING
