Materials

In short

3D-printing is suited for an endless number of applications. The experts – that’s us – can create tailor made solutions to fit your needs exactly. To ensure this best fit, we offer a wide spectrum of materials.

PA 12

Our standard printing material is a Nylon powder (aka PA2200 or PA12), suitable for a wide range of applications. The finish of the products is slightly granular, without a layered distortion. Finished parts can be impregnated with a black pigment. Other colors are available, including a certified food blue.
Depending on the wall thickness this material is very flexible (wall ± 1,5 mm) up to very strong (± 6 mm).

Carbon LW

Stronger still: our Carbon Light Weight (Carbonmide). Reinforced with carbon fibers resulting in a material four times (!) stronger than our regular PA12. A higher tenacity, tougher and higher tensile strength means even more security and durability in heavy duty industrial applications. Temperature and chemical resistant.

TPU

Looking for a material with rubber-like properties? Our TPU is a thermoplastic polyurethane with very bendable, soft properties. It has excellent physical characteristics and is resistant to wear and chemicals. As a result, it is often used for gaskets, sports soles and footwear, orthopedic models, hoses, seals and wheels.

PA12 Blue Metal Detectable

The next level in the evolution of 3D-printed parts. A fusion of reliability and aesthetic perfection, PA12 Blue MD is where top-notch performance meets the brilliance of blue. PA12 Blue MD isn’t just any ordinary material; it’s based on a carbon-reduced PA12. The material is colored through and through. PA12 Blue MD is also certified according to EC1935/2004 – a major European standard dedicated to materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. This regulation ensures that any such material does not transfer its constituents to food in quantities that could endanger human health or bring about an unacceptable change in the composition of the food. PA12 Blue MD is also FDA certified. With these certifications, PA12 Blue MD proves its commitment to safeguarding the health and wellbeing of consumers across the European continent and the US.

PA12 Glassfilled Black

PA12 GFB is a compound material with glass-bead filling and black color through and through. Glass-filled materials are like the bodybuilders of the 3D printing world. Their brawn comes from the glass beads that reinforce the polymer matrix, making them significantly stronger and more durable than their regular counterparts.
