Material Info

PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is familiar to most people in the form of PET bottles. The PETG for 3D printing is enriched with glycol, which gives the material high transparency and low viscosity. Due to its very high toughness, PETG is the perfect material for mechanical applications. In addition, weather resistance is one of the properties of PETG and it is partly suitable for food contact.

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.

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.

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.
