Filaments

FILSHAPER materials enable smooth final processing, especially polishing and varnishing.

The choice of proper filament used in the process of additive manufacturing has immense influence on the quality, durability and the appearance of the print. We offer a wide range of renowned filaments, from universal ASA and ABS, through high-quality polyamide filaments, ending with high-temperature, biocompatible PEEK.

Formnext 2017 High Temperature 3D Printer Review Today, we note the significantly increased number of 3D printers since last year for working with high-temperature engineering plastics, starting with polycarbonate and further to polyamides, Ultem, PEEK, PPSU and composites based on them.

nine1649
These materials are used in the aerospace industry, the chemical industry, and medicine, where properties such as low weight, high temperature resistance, mechanical strength, chemical inertness, and biocompatibility are in demand. We wrote more about engineering filaments and their application here.

Differences between industrial 3D printers

To work with engineering plastics, the printer must have a high-temperature extruder. There are two classes of equipment here. Junior - up to 300 ° C, this is enough for modifications of ABS, polycarbonate and polyamides. Senior - above 300 ° C. For PEEK or Ultem you need about 400.

The extruder isn't everything. A heated platform or vacuum table is a must to keep the part in place. And printing should take place in a working chamber isolated from the outside world, maintaining a predetermined temperature. Failure to comply with the mode leads to deformation or violation of the integrity of the printed object.

So, let's look at the patterns we've seen.
