Transparency, excellent toughness, thermal stability and a very good dimensional stability make Polycarbonate (PC) one of the most widely used engineering thermoplastics. For the same reasons, PC has become a popular 3D printing filament material. However, there...
3D printing is revolutionising manufacturing. By fundamentally producing less waste than subtractive processes and also eliminating the need for large-scale production runs, 3D printing is compatible with a sustainable future. However, at the desktop (FDM) level,...
Thank You We'd just like to start by saying THANK YOU. 2017 was an amazing year for us. We have been fortunate enough to acquire capital to fund growth, successfully relaunch our brand, increase our customer base to more than 1000 and supply some of the worlds'...
The emergence of PA 12, Nylon and ULTEM in the top 10 most used materials section of the latest 3DHubs trends report clearly demonstrates a growing demand for high performance, engineering materials in FDM 3D printing. Polycarbonate (PC) filament is already...
What is filament? 3D printing filament is the thermoplastic feedstock for fused deposition modeling 3D printers - essential “3D ink”. The need for recycled filament Globally, we are producing and consuming more than 300 million tonnes of plastic per annum. 3D...
We're pleased to say that we will be exhibiting at Web Summit - which is being held in Lisbon, Portugal from the 6th - 9th November. Web Summit is "the best technology conference on the planet” and brings Fortune 500 companies, groundbreaking startups and...
Making 3D printing filament might seem very simple to most people. Put in some pellets into a machine, and catch the filament as it gets extruded. And while we are at it, why don’t we just grind down failed prints and other unwanted plastic bits and put it through...
So, you might have received our free sample (click here if you haven’t requested yours yet) and you just can’t think of something from the top of your head to print with just 50g of filament. Well, here are some suggestions from us! Benchmarking models Many of us...
