Appendix D - Olivetti S2 printer-compatible materials
The Olivetti S2 printer can print with filaments composed of the materials listed below.
PLA
Polylactic Acid is a Bio polymer of vegetable origin, which is completely recyclable, very versatile with good
mechanical and elastic properties.
Having a shiny finish it is ideal for producing attractive objects that are pleasant to the touch. It also offers
excellent resistance to ultraviolet light without variations in colour. Simple to print, it can also be sanded without
difficulty.
This is a very versatile material that can be used in many fields of application, especially for producing detailed
objects with an aesthetically-pleasing glossy surface.
SBC
The SBC (Styrene Butadiene Copolymer) is a material having similar mechanical properties to those of ABS. It
is transparent and more elastic than ABS being excellent to work during printing. It has good mechanical
resistance (although less than ABS) and is not hygroscopic. SBC is used in the biomedical field due to its non-
invasiveness. Like ABS, SBC is subject to withdrawal and for this reason must be printed on a hot table. It is not
advised for creating large-sized objects. In the 3D printing sector, SBC is often used as a support material for
creating more complex printing works. SBC melts when immersed in limonene.
PLA LAYER
LOADED Polylactic Acid is a Bio polymer of vegetal origin, which is completely recyclable, very versatile and
with good mechanical and elastic properties.
It has a shiny finish and characteristics that make the superimposition of layers almost unnoticeable. It is
therefore ideal for producing attractive objects that are pleasant to the touch. It offers excellent resistance to
ultraviolet light and is therefore not subject to colour variations. Simple to use for printing it is also sandable and,
differently to normal PLA, has excellent heat resistance and greater mechanical resistance.
MONUMENTAL
Monumental is a filament containing mineral microdust that gives an Italian marble effect and has been
researched and developed especially for architectural, design and archaeology sectors. A material of great
aesthetic and tactile qualities for the production of static models having great scenic impact. Optimal workability
post-printing.
Ideal material for use in architecture, civil engineering, design, art and archaeology sectors.
CARBONIUM
Carbonium is a polyamide filament with carbon microdust content.
Carbon, apart from being similar aesthetically to pieces in fibre, has greater resistance to loads and mechanical
fatigue being tougher and more elastic.
Ideal for anyone needing to produce pieces having mechanical resistance, and which are fast and simple to work
post printing. An ideal material for the automotive sector and for producing accessories for applications where
lightness combined with resistance is required.
