SABIC introduces breakaway support material for 3D printed PEI

Global chemicals producerSABIC总部位于沙特阿拉伯利雅得,已为FFF 3D打印机推出了脱离材料。雷电竞app下载作为对公司AM9085F PEI细丝的支持,AMS31F是一种解决方案,旨在减轻后处理所需的手动工作。适用于具有简单支撑结构的零件,能够在室温下被去除。

Keith Cox, Senior Business Manager of Additive Manufacturing at SABIC, comments, “Using structural supports to print parts with complex geometries is essential, but it can also be quite challenging.”

“[…] By offering a complementary support material for our ULTEM™ AM9085F filament, SABIC is providing a complete material solution that helps customers save time and effort.”

支持高性能3D打印

AM9085F细丝是SABIC的ULTEM材料范围的一部分。该材料源自该公司的ULTEM™9085树脂,具有较高的耐热性和机械强度。它是一种聚醚酰亚胺(PEI),使其成为流行高性能聚合物PEEK的便宜亲戚,这是最终使用工具组件和功能原型的流行选择。然而,与其聚醚酮表弟相比,PEI的影响强度和可用温度较低。

SABIC的ULTEM™系列对于暴露于化学品和高温的工具的生产很有价值,在医疗,汽车和航空航天领域发现了各种应用。值得注意的是,在Stratasys下标记,特定的ULTEM™菌株已经standardized for use in Airbus aircraft interiors. And recently the application of the material was credited with降落两份航空航天制造合同for Spanish aerospace and engineering company Indaero.

Now, with the launch of AMS31F support, SABIC is facilitating the use of ULTEM™AM9085F, and allowing operators greater freedom with build-plate part orientation.

SABIC AMS31F

AMS31F支架材料已专门测试ed for processing in Stratasys Fortus Classic 3D printers. However, the company also stipulates that it is compatible with “a variety of open architecture industrial printers.”

The material has already been tested by a number of SABIC customers including, Italian 3D printer OEM3ntr和俄亥俄州3D印刷服务局快速原型 +制造有限责任公司(RP + M).

根据3NTR首席执行官Davide Ardizzoia的说法,“ Eutem™AM9085F细丝与SABIC的新AMS31F支撑丝之间的粘合在高温下很容易在室温下脱离,消除了重新进行热的部分的需求,”就像在竞争的突破支持下一样。”

RP+M总裁Tracy Albers补充说:“易于材料的易于材料的易于材料简化了我们的二级操作流程,并为我们的客户提供了更高质量的零件。”

SABIC现在为潜在客户提供了直接通过公司订购AMS31F支持样本的机会。
