3D Printing Composite Materials

Composite filaments are a great way to gain that added material performance when one product doesn’t quite fit. We blend our base 3D printing composite materials to provide a wide range of coverage, so you can find a good base material for printing with different characteristics. We start with the bio-friendly base PLA and create materials that have greater strength or increased flexibility. Our PLA-PP, and PLA-ABS blends are great for industrial uses that call for the ease of PLA and the flexibility of the composite counterpart. All blends have increasing shore hardness and greater impact strength than other filaments. Our composites have undergone rigorous tests down to -70 °C and impact fall tests from the earth’s stratosphere. While durable, our PLA composite filaments offer superior melt flow and excellent print quality.

These blends can be used for many different applications, including atmospheric payloads! This 3D printing composite material boasts high durability and a capacity to withstand temperature swings. It’s important to note, however, that this filament has a higher printing temperature and may warp during cooling. You can address this problem by printing with a heating bed. Potential creations include large panels, larger mechanical parts, electrical enclosures, and facials for various parts.
