Material Info

This ABS-based material features thin, multi-walled carbon nanotubes to provide uniform conductivity. According to the manufacturer, a target area resistance of 107 up to 109 Ohm/sq can be achieved. At the same time, the material provides high stability in case of impacts and strains. The filament's property profile makes it ideal for critical applications that require a high level of protection against electrostatic discharge.

Look and feel:
With the FDM process, the individual print layers (usually 0.1-0.3 mm), or process paths of the print nozzle, are clearly visible on the parts. In addition, support structures are often necessary for printing, which must be removed afterwards and can have an impact on the surface quality.

The FDM technology

The comparatively inexpensive but extremely flexible FDM process impresses with a huge selection of materials as well as large installation spaces ( with us, for example, up to 1,000 x 500 x 500 mm).

Further materials for the FDM process

ABS

ABS is the most widely used plastic in the world. It is characterized by a high level of heat resistance and very good post-processing options.

PLA

The PLA, made from renewable raw materials, is characterized by its high tensile strength. It is particularly suitable for prototypes and bulky parts.

PETG

This plastic combines the best properties of ABS and PLA. It is tougher than ABS, more heat resistant than PLA, UV stable and resistant to many chemicals.

ASA

ASA is the ABS for outdoors. The property profile is similar, but ASA has a higher heat resistance and is more resistant to UV radiation.

PC

Polycarbonate (PC) is an extremely tough material. It has high temperature resistance, making it ideal for technical enclosures, for example.

PA6 CF

The carbon fiber-reinforced PA6/66 is highly resistant to external influences and particularly good for robust parts that have to meet higher mechanical requirements.

TPU D58

With an elongation of up to 480%, high chemical resistance as well as heat resistance up to 140°C, the material is suitable for industrial applications.

Green-TEC

This material is a real alternative to conventional materials used for technical applications and is both food safe and compostable.
