With its properties, we recommend using PETG filaments for printing products that may experience sudden or sustained stress, such as protective components and mechanical parts. PETG filament is also a good material when printing parts that are intended to come in contact with food material, such as...
We developed VXL 70 as a support material for PETG and TPU filaments. So if you use these model filaments in your 3D printing project, VXL 70 is almost always a suitable choice. We have also had success with other model materials, but you will need to reduce your chamber temperature. ...
Engineers for Kawasaki's championship-winning Supercross team use 3D printing to create custom 3D printed parts for bikes that are lightweight and strong. How To: 3D Print Nylon on Garolite Print Beds If you’ve ever printed with a high temperature material, you’ve probably found that there’...
3D printing offers unparalleled freedom when it comes to the appearance of the objects you print. It’s possible to change the color, texture, size, and shape of your print, just by changing what material you use. There is one material property that is often overlooked, however, and that’...
allowing customers to scale their production based on their needs. They are suitable for rapid prototyping, education, and functional applications. While often associated with plastic filament, material extrusion 3D printing can handle a variety of materials including polymers reinforced with carbon fiber...
Direct Drive/Bowden Extruder:Max nozzle temp 260°C for material versatility. Materials Overview PLA:Beginner-friendly, biodegradable. ABS:Durable but requires higher temperatures. PETG:Balance of strength and ease of use. TPU:Flexible for specialized applications. ...
Common materials include PLA, ABS, PETG, and TPU. Step 2. Adjust the temperature of the nozzle and heated bed according to the filament's recommendation. It's a good idea to start with the lower end of the recommended range and adjust upwards if needed. Step 3. Further, adjust the ...
The advantages of carbon fiber 3D printing come down to their performance properties: High Strength Perhaps the most-touted property of carbon fiber 3D printer filament, high strength is key to its performance — and desirability as a 3D printing material. Carbon fiber offers a strength-to-weight...
When you're selecting a 3D printing nozzle, you're deciding how much filament is extruded and how fast, which will naturally produce different results. While a smaller printing nozzle (<0.4 mm) predictably extrudes less material than a larger printing nozzle (>0.4 mm), the impact this will...
3D printing with Nylon requires patience and a delicate touch. This material warps like ABS and is just as stretchy as PETG, but the results are plastic with much greater strength than either of these materials. Flexible 3D Printing Filament ...
