Examples of 3D printed parts with Bluecare material in the food and/or pharmaceutical industries: 

• • Extrusion nozzles for ice cream or cakes
  • Robot grippers on pharmaceutical packaging lines
  • Food-grade scrapers 
  • Spare and wear parts on production lines
  • Modular belts for food conveyors
  • Pharmaceutical packaging compactors
  • etc.

Advantages of 3D printing in the food and pharmaceutical industries:

Whether you are a manufacturer of specialized machinery for these sectors, a production plant, or a parts manufacturer, here's a summary of why you should print your parts with BLUECARE or DETECT:

• • Securing Manufacturing Processes:
    Mass-dyed blue plastics are widely used for prevention in the food industry due to their visibility and real-time identification on production lines (enabling visual or optical detection of foreign bodies or plastic fragments in food).
  • Food Contact Certified Final Parts:
    Parts made of plastic materials in direct contact with food must meet strict requirements regarding the materials used, especially to ensure that the contact is not physiologically harmful. Thanks to its certifications, BLUECARE meets the requirements of international regulations for food-contact parts. Furthermore, with BLUECARE, component cleanliness is easier to assess, as spores, mold, food residues, or detergent residues are more clearly visible than with other colored materials.
  • Accelerated Supply Lead Time:
    On-demand manufacturing of a spare part using 3D printing only requires design time, mitigating the risk of very long supply lead times from your supplier. We digitize and 3D print with a certified material in just a few days.
  • Design Freedom and Part Customization:
    Thanks to 3D printing, we can reinforce a part in areas where it wears out too quickly. Furthermore, 3D printing with Bluecare is suitable for products designed with complex geometries, such as the internal channels of a food extrusion nozzle. Unleash your creativity.
  • Cost Optimization:
    In this period of rising material prices, particularly for stainless steel, Bluecare offers an attractive alternative to replace metal and reduce costs.
  • Recyclability:
    Our material is bio-sourced (derived from renewable resources, not petroleum). We also optimize the recyclability rate of our product and implement a logistics system with our clients for the recovery of used powders.
