3D Printer Filament Trends : May 2016

3DXTech

This is really the pinnacle of performance in 3D Printing. Literally the highest performance thermoplastic on the market

3DXTech

New carbon fiber reinforced semi-aromatic nylon is really unlike anything on the market. Improved thermal and chemical resistance, plus high-modulus carbon fiber - what's not to like?

Lay Filaments

High-T-Lay, Ethy-Lay, LAYaPVA, LAY-CLOUD are four new dissolvable filaments. The first three of them are water-soluble, just like PVA. But unlike PVA, they are specifically suited for different projects. ETHY-LAY only dissolves in alcohol (spirits). This is advantageous for printed objects that must not come into contact with water

Colorfabb

A tough and temperature resistant filament, odor neutral printing, styrene-free and BPA-free

Extrudr

Bio-organic based, 100% biodegradable into the natural cycle, CO2 neutral, superior temperature resistance, hardness and elongation

Black Magic 3D

Resilient, flexible with little to no elasticity and a wearable texture define this newly released industrial filament

Lay Filaments

REFLECT-o-LAY is a new filament that, during daylight, has an ordinary grey finish, but, when hit with beams of light in the evening, becomes reflective

Polymaker

PolySmooth & Polysher: 3D Prints Without Layers. On KickStarter

Nexeo 3D

Two new filaments from Nexeo 3D : Flexible Arnitel ID and rigid temperature resistant Novamid ID

Adam Beane

We've taken the best qualities of Cx5 and created the world's first printable sculpting material. Soon on Kickstarter

Kanesis

Resistant, easy workable, economic. The HBP, for which was filed an international patent request, represent a new value for the waste of hemp production, that was until now used as fertilizer, fuel or zootechnical food. 20% lighter and 30% stronger than PLA. Soon on Indiegogo

Fillamentum

Reflow

Reflow converts recyclable plastic into ethical, high-quality 3D print filament using open source technology. Kickstarter next week

Voltivo

General-use FDM polymer which will combine most positive properties of the many filaments out there, while still being cost effective enough so one does not have to think twice using it on a daily basis

Fillamentum

Would you like your 3D models to stand out by their elasticity and flexibility but you could not find a suitable elastic material that would fulfill your idea? We have a solution - try printing flexible parts with Flexfill 3D printing filament by Fillamentum. And if you have a printer with two print heads you can use Flexfill to add an extra layer which will make a surface soft to touch

Fillamentum

The main advantage of this filament is that it is an incredibly strong, durable and versatile 3D printing material. Flexible when thin layer, but with very high inter-layer adhesion. Its low friction coefficient and high melting temperature makes it an excellent choice for printing functional and technical parts. Unlike ABS and PLA filaments is Nylon FX256 far less brittle and therefore stronger

E3D

Edge is a new material we’ve been working on and optimising for some time now. In summary, it combines the toughness and resilience of ABS, with ease of use that comes close to PLA, and adds a whole bunch of really superior processing properties that make printing the stuff a real dream

Polymaker

Polymaker PC-Max is an advanced polycarbonate based filament designed specifically for desktop FDM/FFF 3D printing. In addition to high printing quality, great mechanical strength and heat resistance, Polymaker PC-Max™ offers excellent impact strength and fracture toughness, making it the ideal choice for engineering applications

PrintaLot

Nuevo filamento para impresión 3D PrintaLot PLA MAX. Formulado a base de PLA y biopolímeros especiales que le confieren una muy alta resistencia al impacto. Innovación y desarrollo de vanguardia. industria Argentina

Formfutura

FDM-optimized engineering filament, is an evolved form of ABS, designed to eliminate warping on large scale and high precision engineering objects. Available in 7 colors and two thicknesses, the TitanX 3D printing material provides “superb” first layer adhesion, perfect interlayer adhesion, effective flow, and thermal stability

Formfutura

Based on an industrial-grade modified ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) compound. The 3D printing material promises thermal stability and a superior filament flow, while delivering zero warping and a similar adhesion quality to TitanX
