Our Filament Technologies

We offer 3D printing solutions that can process materials using Fused Filament Fabrication Technology (FFF), also known as Fused Deposition Modeling Technology (FDM).

We will be happy to consult you in selecting the right technologies for you!

The trademark for the term "Fused Deposition Modeling" (FDM) is owned by the American-Israeli company Stratasys. This process is also known as Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) in the larger market . Common prototyping techniques such as FFF/FDM melt and deposit polymer filament through a heated nozzle to create 3D objects.

With this technology we provide you with an extraordinary selection of filaments. These materials cover a wide range of requirements, such as B. strength, biodegradability, heat resistance, electrical and chemical resistance, friction, impact and wear resistance, solubility, flexibility and transparency.

We can offer you many different materials, which you will find listed below.

Material

PEEK

One of the most commonly used thermoplastics in manufacturing is PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) - and with good reason. PEEK enables the production of parts with incredibly high thermal, chemical and wear resistance that are stronger and lighter than stainless steel and aluminum. This technical material is used for the manufacture of parts in almost every field. Due to its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, PEEK is particularly valued for the manufacture of medical implants and aircraft components.

Material

ULTEM

ULTEM Polyetherimide (PEI) is an amorphous high-performance polymer. Its unique properties include high temperature resistance, even up to 180ºC, resistance to natural and synthetic solvents, high dielectric strength and good thermal conductivity. It is a polymer used in the most demanding market segments such as aerospace, automotive and medical.

Material

Polyamide

These filaments, which are made from polyamide polymers, are recognized for their great strength, impact resistance, and flexibility, making them perfect for creating sturdy prototypes or finished products. Because of the strong layer adhesion provided by polyamide filaments, the printed items are reliable and structurally robust. Additionally, nylon filaments have a relatively low coefficient of friction, which makes them appropriate for creating gears and moving parts.

Material

ESD

ESD filaments are specialised materials made for 3D printing applications where controlling static electricity is essential. These filaments are designed with chemicals that improve their electrical conductivity, making it possible for them to properly disperse static charges. In fields like electronics and automotive, where static electricity can harm delicate electronic components, ESD filaments are widely used. Manufacturers can produce specialised components, prototypes, and tools that are naturally static-resistant by employing ESD filaments, ensuring the security and reliability of electronic devices. These filaments make it possible to create parts with controlled electrostatic qualities, such as housings, cases, and fittings, lowering the likelihood of electrostatic discharge incidents.

FR

In 3D printing, FR (Flame Retardant) filaments have become an essential component, especially in projects where fire safety is an issue. The flame retardant chemicals in these particular filaments enable the printed products to withstand combustion and stop the spread of flames. These filaments are particularly useful for creating housing and protective covers for circuits, electronics, and other heat-sensitive components, adding an extra layer of fire safety. Manufacturers can create products that adhere to stringent fire safety laws and precise design specifications by using FR filaments in the 3D printing process, making them an essential tool in contemporary engineering and manufacturing operations.

Material

ASA / ABS / PC / PLA / PETG

Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) is a synthetic, amorphous thermoplastic. It is a highly impact resistant material that can be used to make useful components for electrical equipment, tools and more.

Due to its physical properties, this plastic (ABS) is used at all professional levels. It is one of the most resistant materials for 3D printing, as it is highly shock resistant and tolerates high temperatures well.

High strength polycarbonate (PC) is used in technical applications and harsh environments. Both impact resistance and heat resistance are exceptionally high. This makes it ideal for use in high temperature applications as it maintains its structural integrity up to this temperature.

The most widely used 3D filament is polylactic acid, sometimes referred to as PLA. Plant starch is used to produce this plastic, which has the advantage of being biodegradable and melts at low temperatures.

Another material that is often used in 3D printing is PET-G (glycolised polyethylene terephthalate). It is comparable to PLA and ABS. This plastic is easy to print, has good mechanical strength (slightly less than ABS) and good chemical resistance.

Material

TPU

Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) filaments have become quite popular in the world of 3D printing thanks to their exceptional combination of elasticity, resilience, and flexibility. TPU is a soft, elastic plastic that keeps its shape and structural integrity even after repeated bending and stretching, making it a great material to use when creating items that need to be elastic and impact-resistant. TPU filaments are renowned for having a great resistance to abrasion, which makes them perfect for constructing flexible hinges, shoe insoles, and other elements that need to withstand wear and friction. The high level of oil and grease resistance of TPU filaments further increases their usefulness for industrial applications.
