LOD, Israel, March 3rd, 2024 — Massivit 3D Printing Technologies (TASE: MSVT), a leading provider of industrial 3D printing systems, has announced a new strategic partnership with Sika Deutschland GmbH – a global specialty chemicals producer – with the aim to bring to market co-branded specialized resins for high-speed tooling applications produced on the Massivit 10000 additive manufacturing series.
Sika is a global, Swiss concern business group listed on the Swiss stock exchange – founded over 100 years ago – that operates in the construction and sealants industry and is engaged in the development and production of various materials for industrial purposes.

The first two co-branded materials will be launched at the upcoming JEC World tradeshow in Paris between March 5th-7th and will become available for use with the Massivit 10000 during H2 2024 as follows:
- SikaBiresin® CIM 120 – an aluminium-filled, epoxy material that provides high-speed tooling for applications that require elevated temperatures.
- SikaBiresin® CIM 80 – a cost-effective material that provides high-speed production for room-temperature tooling applications.
The parties intend to enter into a detailed agreement during the aforementioned period.
The award-winning Massivit 10000-G system will be printing live throughout the duration of the JEC World show at Massivit’s Booth D41, Hall 6. Visitors will have the opportunity to see large, printed components, tools, molds, jigs, fixtures and prototypes and to learn about Massivit’s Cast In Motion technology and range of materials.
