4. 3D Printing - Availability of New Materials

It is to announce two new materials (TPU and Carbon-reinforced ABS) for F370 FDM 3D printer are ready to use.

TPU : TPU 92A is a thermoplastic polyurethane with a Shore A hardness value of 92. The material exhibits high elongation, superior toughness, durability and abrasion resistance. TPU 92A brings the benefits of elastomers to FDM 3D printing and offers the capability to quickly produce large and complex elastomer parts. Typical applications include flexible hoses, tubes, air ducts, seals, protective covers and vibration dampeners.

Carbon-reinforced ABS : ABS-CF10 is a type of ABS filament with the addition of chopped carbon fibers. The result is 3D printing material that combines the toughness and impact resistance of ABS with the strength and rigidity of carbon fiber. It’s more than 50% stiffer and 15% stronger than standard ABS, making it an option offers a lighter alternative as a replacement for metal tooling right applications.
