PVA
PVA (Polyvinyl alcohol) is a water-soluble polymer,
ideal to work as support material for multi-material 3D
Printing.
Optimized for the FFF manufacturing process, our PVA
works seamlessly with PLA, TPU, PET-G and Nylon,
becoming a reliable universal support material to print
complex geometries, large overhangs or intricate
cavities.
PVA supports allow to achieve better surface quality, to
orientate the part to get better mechanical properties
and even to print multi-component models and
mechanisms.
To ensure good bed adhesion use 3DLac, Dimafix or
Glue Stick.
PET-G
PET-G (Polyethylene terephthalate glycol-modified) is a
globally used co-polyester, from plastic water bottles to
cloth fibers and it is 100% recyclable.
As a technical material, PET-G provides good
mechanical properties and improved chemical and
thermal behaviors than PLA but with similar ease of
use.
It has an outstanding chemical resistance, a great
dimensional stability and toughness and a good glossy
surface quality. PET-G also offers a good abrasion
resistance, a high humidity resistance and it withstand
operating temperatures up to 70°C. It is compatible
with PVA supports.
To ensure good bed adhesion use 3DLac, Dimafix or
Glue Stick.
For a better print quality use the BCN3D enclosure for
the Sigmax.
Nylon
Nylon (polyamide) is an extensively used material for its
unique mechanical and chemical properties.
Thanks to characteristics like durability, flexibility and
resistance to corrosion, Nylon is ideal for multiple
applications in the 3D printing field, like end-use parts
or custom jigs and fixtures. It is compatible with PVA
supports.
Once printed, nylon parts can withstand operating
temperatures up to 50ºC.
To ensure good bed adhesion use Dimafix or Glue Stick.
For a better print quality use the BCN3D enclosure for
the Sigmax.
TPU
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a versatile rubber-
like flexible material.
With Shore-A hardness of 95, TPU is a resistant
material for several industrial applications, both
mechanical or chemical. Moreover, it’s been especially
designed to improve the 3D printing experience.
Once printed, TPU parts withstand operating
temperatures up to 60ºC
To ensure good bed adhesion use 3DLac, Dimafix or
Glue Stick.
Composites
Composites are materials with a polymeric base infused
with other particles or fibers in different proportion.
From wood to metal particles to achieve an aesthetic
and attractive finish to carbon fibers to combine
lightness and mechanical performance, composite
materials for FFF printers unleash creativity.
