Specifications

The FTile Silica filament by Colfeed4Print is a composite material made up of inorganic silica frit and a PLA matrix. This filament was designed for the additive manufacturing of complex designs that will turn into colored glass glazes after a thermal treatment at 800-900 ºC.

Frit is a powdered glass material that is used in the creation of ceramic objects via ceramic 3D printing. In the case of the FTile Silica filament by Colfeed4print, the silica frit (silicon dioxide, 40 vol. %) is mixed with high quality biodegradable PLA as the binder to create the FTile Silica filament. During the firing process of the part 3D printed with the FTile Silcia filament, the PLA binder burns away, leaving behind the solidified frit particles fused together to form the final glass object.

The FTile Silica filament is a great solution for artists and designers who want to create highly customized and complex sculptures, art installations, and decorative objects with glazed ceramic reliefs with a glassy look with the help of additive manufacturing.

The FTile Silica filament is delivered in a vacuum sealed bag with desiccant. Once opened, the filament should be stored properly to prevent it from absorbing moisture from the air. The best way to store filaments in a tightly sealed bag with desiccant, in a vacuum sealed container or in an intelligent filament container.

The manufacturer recommends printing the FTile Silica filament at 165-175 ºC on a bed heated to 40-80 ºC at a speed of 10-60 mm/s. More printing tips can be found in the technical datasheet in the Downloads section.

It is highly recommended to wear standard safety equipment during the printing and post-processing of parts 3D printed with the FTile Silica filament - safety goggles, gloves, breathing equipment and protective garments, according to needs.
