FDM is a method of layering the molten thermoplastic material on a heatbed. This technology makes it possible to create utility models, prototypes, marketing mock-ups or composite elements. This is the most optimal method for quick prototyping of parts that must maintain the required standard tolerance. This technology guarantees high quality, affordability and short lead time.
One of the biggest advantages of FDM is the ability to quickly adjust the filling of printed 3D models. This allows the prototype to be printed out quickly to check the fit and finish. Low internal filling or even no infill enables cutting the material costs. After the design phase, final checks or small and medium production can be run with the target filling of the 3D printout.
FDM is the most optimal method for rapid prototyping of parts that must maintain standard tolerances. This method is widely used to create architectural and product mock-ups. This technology guarantees affordability and short lead times.
It’s a odourless, safe and biodegradable polymer. Ideal for beginners due to its low material shrinkage and good adhesion to the heat bed. It reflects shapes and details well, so it can be used to create mock-ups, toys or prototypes.
A material that perfectly combines good sliding properties, mechanical strength and resistance to high temperatures. Can be used together with the 3DGence ESM-10 soluble support material.
A material with engineering applications, durability and impact resistance. It is less brittle than PLA and has a higher resistance to high temperatures. ABS has various variants of finishing such as grinding, varnishing, giving the possibility of obtaining prints of high visual quality.
It’s a polymer with mechanical properties similar to ABS. The replacement of butadiene with rubber acrylic gives the material additional mechanical properties and resistance to UV radiation. ASA has a lower shrinkage ratio compared to standard ABS. The material is also characterized by very good resistance to weathering, chemical and thermal resistance and high gloss.
Hard raw material with high physical strength. This material is characterized by low moisture absorption and low shrinkage, which makes it possible to print large parts. This filter combines the properties of PET and ABS, which makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.
It is a thermoplastic elastomer with high impact strength at low temperatures. The material has good physico-chemical properties. Filament is used to create rubber elements and machine parts.
Thermoplastic material for technical and functional applications. It is characterized by resistance to chemical compounds, high temperature and low abrasion. It is used in the creation of mechanical parts and technical elements such as bearings and gears.
The material with the highest flexibility among the popularly used polymers. It is characterized by high chemical resistance to acids, alkalis and salts, as well as organic solvents. It is flammable, colourless, odourless and insensitive to water.
Polycarbonate is a thermoplastic characterized by very high strength and impact strength. With features such as accuracy and dimensional stability, it is ideal for creating parts that require high durability.
Nylon (PA6) additionally reinforced with carbon fibre. The material shows high thermal and chemical resistance. Compared to standard nylon, the CF-reinforced material shows less thermal shrinkage and greater rigidity in the models.
Polycarbonate additionally reinforced with carbon fibre, characterized by even greater strength and impact resistance. Due to its good dimensional stability, it is dedicated to the creation of components that require high accuracy.
It is a highly flexible material (98 ShA) with good mechanical properties. Good tear and tensile strength guarantees high quality properties of the created elements.
