TPU
FLEXIBLE MATERIAL WITH ENGINEERING PROPERTIES
BigRep’s TPU filament opens up a wealth of possibilities for manufacturers and customers. For the automotive industry, it enables prototyping for gear knobs, door handles, cable sheathing and more. In the sporting goods industry, there is potential for rapid prototyping of skateboard wheels, sporting shoe shells, ski tips and ends.
PA6/66
LIGHT-WEIGHT AND RESISTANT
BigRep’s PA6/66 is a highly durable 3D printing filament for industrial applications. It is a light-weight thermoplastic material with high rigidity, and has high resistance to heat and chemicals. Its high compatibility with machining and mechanical strength make it an excellent candidate for most industrial applications, especially in the automotive and aerospace sectors.
HI TEMP
HIGH-TEMPERATURE RESISTANT
BigRep’s Hi-Temp is an ecological engineering-grade 3D printing filament for a wide variety of industrial and general applications. It is resistant to high temperatures, maintaining a constant resistance up to 160 °C with minimal warping. With such high heat resistance and an appealing matte surface finish, Hi-Temp filament is the choice for functional prototyping, household appliances, electrical casings, and as an end-use material for low-scale production or custom jigs and fixtures.
PLX
FAST AND RELIABLE
An innovative and robust thermoplastic filament, PLX can print up to 80% faster than a standard PLA material with no modification to the 3D printer at a strength that exceeds the typical mechanical properties of even ABS-printed parts – enabling industrial additive manufacturing in large-format at unprecedented speeds. PLX delivers consistent, quality results that make it a reliable material for large-format printing in any industry.
PET CF
CARBON FIBER REINFORCED
BigRep’s PET-CF is an engineering-grade filament for high-strength additive manufacturing applications. With exceptional dimensional stability and low moisture absorption, it’s the perfect material for printing in industrial environments. Capable of producing exceptionally strong, stiff parts with a fine surface finish and heat resistance up to 100 °C, this material is ideal for functional, performance applications.
PVA
WATER-SOLUBLE SUPPORT
BigRep PVA is a water-soluble support filament, ideal for printing complex, ready-to-use prototypes. It is commonly used in printers with dual-extruders to provide support for objects with overhang or those with complex geometries, for which 3D printing is the only method to produce in one piece.
BVOH
ADVANCED WATER-SOLUBLE SUPPORT
BigRep’s BVOH support material is an ecologically friendly advanced water-soluble filament that eliminates post-processing for 3D printed parts. Created for use with dual-extruder printers, BVOH can be used in tandem with any other material to provide efficient support. It has been optimized for improved melt flow, eliminating concerns of hotend clogging that come with other soluble filaments.
Due to BVOH’s ability to support heavy prints and the support-removal post-processing it eliminates, it’s ideal for printing complex, ready-to-use prototypes and objects with large overhang or otherwise complex geometries.
