Materials

We explain the characteristics and main uses of the advanced filaments PAEK, a family of semi-crystalline plastics that offer interesting industrial and commercial applications with 3D printing.

Once again thanks to FFF/FDM technology and wood filaments, all users of 3D printers can realize their ideas quickly, economically and independently with a real wood finish on all their pieces.

A year ago, and after more than three years of research and development, the world of 3D printing marveled at the world's first graphene conductive filament manufactured by the US company Graphene 3D Lab. Graphene filament is already a reality in FDM/FFF 3D printing which makes possible a world of possibilities.

The prestigious engineer Kai-Parthy has passed a new barrier in the world of 3D printing filament to achieve develops the first reflective filament for 3D printing FDM. Reflect-o-Lay filament is created relying on the principle of retro-reflection of light.

In many cases PLA and ABS are not suitable for engineering parts or parts that have to be suitable for specific high performance applications. The prestigious US manufacturer of Taulman 3D filaments is at the forefront of innovation in engineering materials for 3D printing.
