Materials

Felfil products are addressed both for makers who wants to create the filament for its 3D prints at home, and for research and experimentation in the academic or industrial field. Our system, indeed, is able to extrude many materials: from the most common polymers ABS, PLA and PETG to innovative or less known ones.

 

In this section you can find a list of some materials successfully tested with Felfil System. Please note that this are initial settings that may change according to your specific materials.

Fast, safe and reliable

Drying needed:                                                       no

Impact and heat resistant

 

It is a blend of PC and ABS providing unique combination of the high processability of ABS with the excellent mechanical properties, impact and heat resistance of PC. It has excellent low temperature toughness.

Common uses:

  • Automotive
  • Keypads
  • Mobile phone bodies

Drying needed:                                                       no

Semi-flexible and resistant to wear and tear

 

Flexible filaments are made of Thermoplastic Elastomers which are a blend of hard plastic and rubber. Known for its elasticity allowing the material to easily stretch and bend. This material is elastic in nature allowing the plastic to be stretched and flexed easily.

Common uses:

  • Vibration dampening
  • Grip Sleeves
  • Phone cases

Drying needed:                                                       no

Strong and solvent resistant

 

HDPE is used in the production of  plastic bottles caps, corrosion-resistant piping, geomembranes, and plastic lumber. HDPE is commonly recycled and resists to many different solvents and has a wide variety of applications.

Common uses:

  • Bottle caps
  • Plastic bags
  • Pipe systems

But you can do more, some examples?

We had fun extruding some coffee filament, or carbon filament. In other cases we collaborated to experimental projects in order to obtain a full circular economy, like when we used mussels shells discarded from industrial production.

These are easy projects to make at home!

Otherwise Felfil system is used in more complex fields, as medical or research; even more, it can be personalized in order to extrude in particular conditions, as made from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology which extruded in inerte atmosphere.

In all those situation Felfil System  turn out to be better than an industrial extruder thanks to its small dimension ad affordable price, allows to make some experiment and tests with a low quantity of materials giving great costs and time advantages.
