Sheffield, UK | April 30th, 2024 - Based in Rapid City, South Dakota, B9Creations develop fast, professional DLP printers, including medical, dental and high-precision micro ranges. Since 2019 B9Creations have licensed the market-leading Polygonica software library to provide advanced mesh, slice and build processor operations, both on the printer’s HMI and in the B9Create CAM Software that is provided with the machines.

“After five years of cooperation we are of course very pleased to announce our relationship with B9Creations. In that time we’ve seen impressive growth in both B9’s technology and product offerings, along with their increased focus on important verticals such as medical and dental. Their wide usage of Polygonica and continuously advancing requirements of high-end AM help us keep Polygonica improving year after year. We look forward to completing our first decade of close cooperation,” said Dr Fenqiang Lin, Managing Director of MachineWorks.

Michael Joyce, the founder of B9Creations commented “Since launching the B9 Core Series in 2017 our plan has always been to offer a full top-of-the-line solution to our customers, including materials, software and customisability. Software is of course critical in making additive manufacturing efficient and profitable and we were pleased to meet the Polygonica team at Formnext in 2018. We’ve now fifteen printer models and customers in more than seventy countries – I’m proud to see B9 grow into a global provider of additive solutions. Polygonica’s fast and robust mesh algorithms have been an important part of helping us achieve that.”
