EasyFil™ PLA is a high-end “easy to use” 3D printer filament, which is slightly modified with an impact modifier making the filament tougher, slightly softer, less rigid, much longer preservable and easy to print at relatively low temperatures.

Another great advantage of EasyFil™ PLA – compared to regular PLA – is EasyFil™’s low shrinkage factor, which makes EasyFil™ PLA nearly warp-free and therefore  EasyFil™ PLA will not deform after cooling. Due to its low tendency to warp EasyFil™ PLA can be printed without a heated print bed. If your printer is however equipped with a heated print bed we recommend to set your heat bed temperature to ± 35° to 60°C.

Next to its “easy to use” features, our Formfutura EasyFil™ filament range has an excellent roundness and very tight diameter and roundness tolerances, which makes this filament a perfect match with all common desktop 3D printers.

Carbonfill Formfutura

CarbonFil™ is a light-weight and incredibly stiff carbon fibre reinforced filament. Our CarbonFil™ filament is based upon a unique blend of our HDglass™ compound reinforced with 20% ultra-light and relatively long stringer carbon fibres, which has resulted in an exceptionally stiff carbon fibre 3D printer filament.

By making use of ultra-lightweight and relatively long carbon fibre stringers we have managed to make our CarbonFil™ twice as stiff as our HDglass™ compound and yet we still managed to increase its impact strength with more than 10%. Usually an upturn in a material’s stiffness will have a downturn on its impact strength. With CarbonFil™ we managed to increase both these parameters and by that it can truly be called a tough material. 
Adding such a relatively high percentage of 20% long stringer carbon fibres into our CarbonFil™ compound also has resulted in a relatively high heat deflection temperature of 85°C and very good dimensional stability properties.

The CarbonFil™ compound combines quite a few unique properties into a 3D printer filament and still one of the most important properties hasn’t been named yet, namely its printer friendliness. CarbonFil™ outperforms any other carbon filament when it comes to printability of the filament. 

Printing with CarbonFil™ filament is truly very easy and comfortable as it is warp-free, can be printed without a heated bed, has a great thermal stability, an excellent flowing behaviour and a superb first- and interlayer adhesion and does not produce any odors during 3D printing.

    abs pro 3d printing filaments

    ABSpro™ is a heavy duty filament with excellent mechanical properties for more professional usage.

    Our ABSpro™ compound is a unique mixture of ABS reinforced with Styrene Maleic Anhydride and PolyCarbonate making an incredibly strong and even more impact resistant filament which enables you to make ABS prints with a remarkable fine detail.
    ABSpro™ is much stronger than any other ABS type of 3D printer filament and allows you to print in such a high detail that it outperforms any other ABS type of filament when it comes to printing precision. ABSpro™ even outperforms most PLA type of filaments when it comes to printing fine-detailed prints.

    ABSpro™ requires a printing temperature of 250-280°C.
    When printing with ABSpro™ it is important to set your print bed temperature to its max level. A print bed temperature of 110 -120°C (or even higher) is recommended. If possible we also advice to print ABSpro™ in a controlled temperature area/box in order to keep temperature fluctuations to a minimum. Because of ABSpro™’ incredible hardness and impact resistance it is more vulnerable to warping caused by temperature fluctuations and therefore it is best to keep the printing environment settings as constant as possible.
    When printing with ABSpro™ you might need to tweak around a bit to obtain a good first layer adhesion. It will definitely help to add a strong adhesive slurry like ABS juice or adhesive spray like dimafix to your print bed.

    ABSpro™ has an excellent roundness and very tight diameter tolerances, which makes this filament a perfect match with all common desktop 3D printers. ABSpro™ is especially developed for FDM/FFF technology based 3D printers and will basically work with any desktop 3D printer.

    crystalflex 3d printing filament

    Crystal Flex™ is a heavy duty, translucent and yet flexible filament. Crystal Flex™’s transparency is being described as “plexiglass-like” as apparently Crystal Flex™ will let 91% of visible light pass through its fibre. Crystal Flex™ is as clear as Polycarbonate filament. This unique feature makes Crystal Flex™ extremely suitable for printing light-transmitting objects.

    Another great feature about Crystal Flex™ is its resilience and bendability. Crystal Flex™ is a very tough material and has a shore hardness of D65, which enables this filament to being bent up to 175% without causing white stress marks after bending. 

    Crystal Flex™ has a high interlayer adhesion, making it a really wonderful and easy-to-print filament. Crystal Flex™’s recommended printing temperature is between ~215° and ~240°C, with ~240°C as recommended temperature for best layer adhesion during printing at high speed. Crystal Flex™’s thermal stability is comparable with that of PLA (65° – 70°C). 

    Crystal Flex™’s water absorption is only 30% of that of ABS, meaning that there will be less evaporation and therefore prints are less likely to warp. Crystal Flex™ sticks well to ABS and PLA, which makes this 3D printer filament also suitable for multi-material prints. However, do keep in mind that Crystal Flex™ gets crumbly from Acetone. So it is recommended not to smooth your ABS/Crystal Flex™ multi-material prints afterwards with Acetone. 

    Crystal Flex™’s unique set of characteristics with respect to its high impact resistance, light emission and flexibility enables a whole new field of application for FFF/FDM desktop 3D printers. Crystal Flex™’s bendability and high impact strength allow the material being used for instance for hinges and other mechanical parts to be built into other, firmer and inflexible parts. The combination of being flexible and resilient make Crystal Flex™ also very suitable for creating belts and straps. 

    Basically Crystal Flex™ will come in handy for any object requiring flexibility, resilience, or light emission. 

    Crystal Flex™ is soluble in brake cleaner.
