波兰3D打印机制造商Zortraxhas introduced two comprehensive packages committed to metal 3D printing,Zortrax Full Metal Package 17-4 PHandZortrax Full Metal Package 316L, as well as a low-meltvictrex paek am 200，与Zortrax Endureal Industrial 3D打印机。Because it has a lower melting point than PEEK, this filament can be extruded at lower temperatures.
每个Zortrax全金属包装都包含“用户开始使用金属3D打印所需的一切”，包括BASF Ultrafuse 316LorBASF Ultrafuse 17-4 PH– metal-polymer filaments from its partner,巴斯夫前进。该公司表示，Victrex AM 200低融化Paek细丝是与Z-Peek同一热塑性家族中的高性能聚合物，在某些地区提供了可比的3D打印结果。
“When using metallic powder filaments for metal 3D printing, micro-cracks or brittle spots on the models are the common issues users struggle with. The reason is usually the improper inner structure, which prevents the target items from preserving all the properties desired for metal. Being aware of that, we focused on creating the solution, ensuring that models have the right structure, allowing them to be applied just like regular steel. We succeeded, as it is obtained on Zortrax Endureal during the very printing process,” said Michał Siemaszko, Head of the Research and Development Department at Zortrax. “Moreover, our new Zortrax Full Metal Packages come together with, amongst other elements, high-quality metal-polymer filaments by BASF Forward AM, and a voucher for professional post-processing inElnik Systems GmbH, where the 3D prints undergo proprietary catalytic debinding and sintering processes.”
How does this new material package serve the customers?
“ Victrex AM 200在Z轴上的强度要比PEEK具有更大的强度，并且在X和Y轴上具有可比的强度。所有其他参数都类似于窥视的参数。但是，Paek更容易打印。这种高性能聚合物是3D打印重型零件的绝佳选择，可以取代航空，海洋，高级工程或石油工业中的金属组件。当Zortrax材料开发负责人Dawid Piastowski说：“当3D打印负载组件，工具元素，结构框架或必须承受高温的零件时，也可以成功使用PAEK。”
The Zortrax Full Metal Package 316L contains BASF Ultrafuse 316L, a filament of 80% 316L stainless steel and 20% polymer. 316L is surgical-grade stainless steel with a chromium content of more than 10%. When this chemical element comes into contact with oxygen, it forms a thin coating layer over the model’s surface, safeguarding it from corrosion. The parts 3D printed with BASF Ultrafuse 316L have up to 561 MPa tensile strength, 251 MPa yield strength, up to 53% elongation at break, and a non-magnetic microstructure. These characteristics make this metal-polymer filament ideal for 3D printing complex end-use parts, automotive parts, medical equipment, chemical pipes or valves, tool, and fixture elements, and various functional prototypes.
Zortrax Full Metal Package 17-4 PH comprises BASF Ultrafuse 17-4 PH, an industrial composite filament made up of 80% 17-4 hardened steel and 20% polymer. Models 3D printed with this filament have 1004 MPa tensile strength, yield strength of 764 MPa, break elongation of up to 4%, and a magnetic microstructure. BASF Ultrafuse 17-4 PH can be used effectively for all elements requiring substantial hardness, such as chemical pipes or valves.
Furthermore, these packages include BASF Ultrafuse Support Layer, which guarantees the preferred geometry of the printed parts during the 3D printing and post-processing stages, Magigoo Pro Metal adhesive that offers reliable adhesion during printing, an extra hotend module with brass nozzles for Zortrax Endureal, and a professional post-processing voucher in Elnik company (BASF’s trusted partner in Germany), where 3D prints undergo critical sintering and debinding processes to achieve all the characteristics of steel.
Metal additive manufacturing materials compatible with FDM systems
Previously, French materials manufacturerNanovia宣布发布两个3D打印丝。NanoviaMt Inox 316L是该公司的小说不锈钢316L细丝，旨在与基于挤出的3D打印机一起使用，而雷电竞app下载NanoviaCr SiC是一种陶瓷硅碳化物产品。细丝旨在使密集的陶瓷和metal parts on standard FDM systems, and they will be functional via a final sintering step for additional part density. Consumers are able to machine their Nanovia 3D printed parts prior to use, enhancing dimensional precision and surface quality.
Furthermore,The Virtual Foundry使用FDM打印机的任何人都可以访问Metal 3D打印。Filamet，公司的辛苦线FDM metal filaments, made its vision a reality. Tricia Suess, The Virtual Foundry’s President said, “It’s quite thrilling to be on the front edge of metal 3D printing technology. Brad and his team have developed something here that changes how work is done. Our innovative people have created a product within an open architecture that increases the efficiencies of current work systems and expands the value of our customers’ product offerings.”
