PLA is Poly-Lactic-Acid, a biodegradable polymer with a low melting point. It is an easy material to print with and lnnofil3D PLA gives a smooth printing result. This most used 3D printing material is available in a wide range of RAL and lnnofil3D colors and translucent variants.

When properly cooled, PLA has a higher maximum printing speed, lower layer heights and sharper printed corners. Combining this with low warping of the print makes it a popular plastic for makers, prosumers and schools

Professional series filament adds significant benefits to the most demanding engineering environments. The first in our series of professional filaments is PRO 1. Speed- Strength - Versatility - Consistency!

printer and object limitations)

STRENGTH: Excels beyond printed ABS in every category of
mechanical property

VERSATILITY: One filament that can betuned towards blazing
speed and excellent surface finish

CONSISTENCY: Truly consistent filament, also between
colours and batches, it will perform as expected, every time.

Material meets the following standards for biocompatibility:

• Cytotoxicity XTT neutral red ISO 10993-5
• Skin irritation Ultrafuse ISO 10993-10
• Skin sensitization LLNA KretinoSens ISO 10993-10

BASF Ultrafuse ABS Fusion+ made with Polyscope XILOYTM 3D is an engineering filament which has been optimized for 3D-printing.

Polyscope is renowned for its material solutions in the automotive industry. The properties of ABS Fusion+ are:

• Chemical resitance
• High heat resistance
• Low warping
• Compatible with BVOH support material
• Tough

Although ABS has been classified as a standard material in 3D-printing it used to be a very challenging to process, until now. We managed to develop an ABS grade which can be directly printed on glass without any fluids or tape and has a higher success rate of prints due to extreme low warping.

To provide users with valuable information we have collected data regarding the mechanical properties of the 3D-printed specimen according to the ISO standards.

material and HIPS which allow to print complex geometries that works in
challenging environments.

Advantages of PAHT CF15

• Higher chemical resistance than most PA grades
• High temperature resistance up to 150°C

The metal filament Ultrafuse 316L from BASF is an innovative metal-polymer composite for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). It has its technical origin in the metal injection molding (MIM) technology of BASF's Catamold® product family. It enables the safe, simple, and cost-efficient production of fully metal parts for prototypes, metal tooling and functional metal parts in the simplest 3D printing process. After the subsequent industry-standard debinding and sintering, the final 3D printed part is 316L stainless steel.

The metal content in the high 90 percent range and the even distribution of the metal within the binder matrix reduces the risk of defects and increases the success rate. Due to immobilization of metal particles in the binder matrix in the filament dramatically reduces the potential hazards of handling fine metal powders when compared to Selective Laser Melting (SLM), Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), Direct Metal Deposition (DMD) and Binder Jetting.

Ultrafuse 316L is compatible with both Bowden and direct drive extruders via the use of a non-slip surface. Possessing high flexibility, the filament can be guided through complex idler pulleys and guide roller filament transportation systems.

The main reasons why Ultrafuse 316L is cost effective are:

• Our filament works with any open FFF printer which means low investment cost in hardware
• We make use of a highly efficient and established post processing technology used in the Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) industry
• As this is a filament the material handling is much safer and very easy to handle. This allows an easy material exchange in comparison to handling with fine metal powders

The advantage of Ultrafuse 316 are:

• It is in general 1.4 tot 2.2 times more cheaper than most metal powders with less investment in hardware
• There are significant cost advantage for small and medium sized components
• The overall manufacturing costs decrease significantly  with increasing the lot size
• With additive manufacturing you can create full stainless steel parts with a high degree of complexity

NB! Because the materials debinding and sintering requires industrial equipment, we offer these as a service. Maximum size for unsintered parts is 100mm x 100mm x 100mm, but we might be able to sinter larger parts, contact us for this.

The Filament Enabling Stainless Steel Parts for Applications that Require High Hardness and Mechanical Strength

Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH is a filament for the production of metal components in 17-4 stainless steel on standard Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) printers.

This stainless steel can be fully heat treated to high levels of strength and hardness. It is therefore ideal for Petrochemistry, Aerospace, the Automotive and the Medical Industry. Parts printed with our metal-polymer composite filament Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH obtain their final properties through a catalytic debinding and sintering process known from traditional Metal Injection Molding.

NB! The printed part needs to be processed by debinding and sintering to produce the final part. We offer this as a service and can also provide instructions for the process. Contact our customer service if you want to now more about the process or you can buy the sintering service ticket here: https://www.3d-tulostus.fi/BASF-Metallien-sintrauspalvelu-1kg

add:north's PETG combines the properties from both PLA and ABS. It is odorless, has low warping and a high impact resistance. PETG also has the highest transparency among all our filaments and is available in a number of different colors. PETG has grown to be one of the most popular materials for many users. It has in many ways replaced ABS as the primary material for technical applications mainly because of its chemical resistance.

• Electrically and thermally conductive
• Resistant to a range of chemicals
• Highest flame-retardant rating

The Koltron G1 is very electrically and thermally conductive, resistant to a range of chemicals, UV light and high continuous working temperatures, with the highest flame-retardant rating. The versatility is unmatched in polymer additive manufacturing. 

The application areas for the Koltron G1 are vast, ranging from EMI and RFI (electromagnetic and radio frequency interference) shielding to capacitive sensors, wearable and printed electronics as well as the cooling of electronics. The incorporation of Graphmatech’s unique AROS Graphene also gives the printed parts excellent self-lubricating properties. 

A great deal of the development focused on making the material processable in any FDM 3D printer. This has now been achieved, making the newly launched Koltron G1 versatile not only through its broad potential applications, but also in its widespread accessibility.

Apart from its great electrical conductivity (~2.0 Ohm-cm volume resistivity), which can be seen in the Technical Data Sheet, it has also performed well in tests on thermal conductivity (0.5W/Km) and in shielding effectiveness/attenuation (22dB).
