Material Info

FDM - PC is a thermoplastic known to most people from CDs and Bluray Discs. PC is ideal for demanding applications. The properties of the material include a high melting temperature, impact strength, strength, stiffness and hardness. Unfortunately, PC is very sensitive to scratches and not suitable for outdoor use. Likewise, chemical resistance must be checked on an application-specific basis.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ESD ABS

ESD ABS is ideal for critical applications that require a high level of protection against electrostatic discharges, such as electrical enclosures or packaging.

Green-TEC

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