早在3月，我们报道了来自领先的3D打印灯丝制造商，荷兰的新发布的材料Colorfabb， 这colorFab_HT。灯丝是由伊士曼·阿姆福拉（Eastman Amphora）的HT5300 3D聚合物生产的是一种专业驱动的灯丝，可为高级3D打印应用提供耐用性，韧性和高温阻力。已经与西班牙的3D打印公司BCN3D Technologies合作为了向ColorFabb_ht提供其Sigma 3D打印机，这是带有双独立挤出机系统的FDM打印机，ColorFabb正在与另一家公司共享舞台汉诺威·梅斯（Hanover Messe），这是世界上每年在德国汉诺威举行的全球最杰出的技术贸易展览会。
从今天开始（直到4月29日），在启动和创新广场（第4厅，立场C52），3D打印机制造商STACKER将发布他们最新的工业级FFF 3D打印机，S4。The S4 3D printer, which is currently available for $9,995.00, has a large build size of 14 x 20 x 25 inches, and is able to print at high temperatures of up to 300°C. In order to display the adequate power and speed of their newest 3D printer, STACKER will be utilizing the colorFabb_HT filament with the S4, melding together an industrial-grade printer and professional-grade material together into a joint display at this year’s Hanover Messe trade fair.
“colorFabb_HT empowers professional users to move beyond prototyping, allowing them to create more durable and useful items,” said Ruud Rouleaux, the managing director of colorFabb. “It’s an engineering material that can be used for real-world applications, making 3D printed objects fully functional.”
Unlike most PLA-based materials, the Eastman Amphora HT5300-based filament by colorFabb is able to withstand temperature of 100°C, giving it a high melt strength that won’t degrade in highly heated situations. Though this isn’t the first time Eastman and colorFabb have released a filament in tandem, they’ve also collaborated to bring us thengenandcolorfabb_xtfilaments in the last year. But, the HT filament is the most durable and professional-grade filament that these two companies have produced together. By bringing an industrial-grade material and 3D printer to a more consumer-friendly price and market, colorFabb and STACKER’s collaboration is an ideal fit for the two companies, as they both aim to increase 3D printing quality while keeping the price close to the level of the consumer market.
