Zortraxintroduces new, resilient, flexible and convenient 3D printing filaments

3D打印行业首先预览了发明3D printerat the六月的Zortrax体验会议. At launch, the Inventure was capable of working with Z-PLA, Z-PETG, and Z-SUPPORT materials. The company has since expanded this range with 3 advanced filaments, boosting resilience, flexibility and post-processing convenience.

加上弹性

An ABS-based material, Z-ULTRAT Plus is Zortax’s solution for durable, strong and functional prototypes. The company’s tagline for the product is “The Real
弹性”突出了其高冲击力的高性电阻,并能够承受90°C以上的温度。

例如,材料的用例,Zortrax 3D打印了一个加热器控制阀,用于调节汽车发动机的温度。借助原型,开发工程师可以对阀门设计进行初步操作测试,并确定任何改进区域。

Z-ultrat Plus有6种不同的颜色 - 蓝色,红色,橙色,石墨,
ivory and pure black. Combined, the colors can add clarity to a manufacturing prototype, enabling designers to pinpoint the exact parts for modification.

加上后处理

Z耗时加is also compatible with Zortrax’s latest Z-Support Plus material. An upgraded of the standard Z-SUPPORT material (which is compatible with Z-PETG, Z-PLA and Z-SEMIFLEX) Z-SUPPORT Plus is engineered for the build chamber environment required to 3D print ABS-like filaments.

Both materials in the Z-SUPPORT range are soluble in water, making post-processing a breeze. For a fully “hands-free” experience, the user can simply put a part 3D printed with Z-SUPPORT into the Zortax Dissolvable Support System (DSS System). After soaking for some time, a completely residue-free part is removed “like magic”.

该材料的溶解度使其对带有运动部件的复杂的3D打印对象无价。

加上灵活性

Z-SEMIFLEX is plastic and rubber combined. Based on TPU, Z-SEMIFLEX is a hard, yet flexible material “resistant to tearing, abrasion, impact and temperature over 130 °C.”

可以拉伸由材料制成的物品,但在休息时保持其形状。在材料的用例中,Zortrax 3D打印了通用的关节橡胶靴,用于覆盖否则会收集和碎屑的部分机械 - 就像在汽车的变速杆上发现或用作自行车的悬架弹簧一样。通常,覆盖杠杆时,必须润滑橡胶靴。Z-膜片可以很好地处理油脂和耐化学性。

可以在Z-Semiflex中制作定制的End使用对象,并且3D打印机丝可能适用于备用零件程序或任何经过密集测试的原型。
