Essentium has announced two more materials, ABS and ULTEM for their highly engineered HSE series of 3D printers that can operate at 3D print speeds unseen in most other FFF devices. These materials, along with their associated print profiles, will successfully 3D print, even at high speeds.
High-temperature-resistant Material
ABS is a very well-known 3D printing material that now joins Essentium’s portfolio. Meanwhile, ULTEM is a powerful material that is high temperature-resistant, chemical resistant and very strong. This makes it ideal for aerospace applications where weight is a challenge.
Essentium has taken steps to lower the costs of these materials. This is likely due to the findings in their surveys that indicated 3D printer operators believe material cost is a significant barrier, and that closed material configurations are no longer desirable.
ULTEM is a great option for those seeking to print high performance parts at high speed on Essentium’s HSE series. Other than these, Essentium has produced quite a range of material options, including PCTG, PLA XTR, PA (Nylon), High Temperature PA, PEEK, PCTG ESD-safe, High Temperature PA-CF (Carbon Fiber) etc,.
