Techmer PM Becomes Supplier in Additive Manufacturing and Simulation Consortium
Technical polymers design firm will supply Purdue University collaboration.
Techmer PM, a technical materials compounding firm, announced its induction as a materials supplier into Purdue University’s Composites Additive Manufacturing and Simulation (CAMS) Consortium. The collaboration is aimed at advancing the understanding and confidence in large format additive manufacturing (LFAM).
“We are honored to join Purdue University’s CAMS Consortium and collaborate with some of the brightest minds in materials science and additive manufacturing,” says Mike McHenry, chief executive officer of Techmer PM. “The value this partnership will bring to our customers is significant. We aim to continue driving transformative changes in serving our customers.”

Techmer PM’s portfolio includes a wide range of high-performance materials designed to meet the evolving needs of various sectors. By joining CAMS, Techmer PM aims to leverage collective expertise, like Purdue University’s ADDITIVE3D simulation, to accelerate the development of materials for LFAM.
Jenna Hunt, business development manager for additive manufacturing, Techmer PM, says, “The ADDITIVE3D simulation data provides a remarkable baseline and offers the ability to make accurate machine-specific material cards. Through this unique partnership, we will broaden our material card portfolio to streamline users’ processes, reducing the number of iterations needed to create the perfect part — ultimately saving time and money while accelerating speed to market.”
The CAMS consortium will benefit from Techmer PM’s expertise and technological advancements, particularly in recycling technologies, and how that can be applied to LFAM. Techmer PM and Purdue University will combine physics and chemistry to create robust, tuned materials optimized for LFAM while providing education, validated simulation tools and materials characterization.
