3D Printing with Various Materials

By dimitrisNews

[:en]The last few weeks we have experimenting a lot with 3D printing and we finally had the chance to test some new and exciting filaments materials. We have successfully printed printed with the following:

NinjaFlex

NinjaFlex is a flexible and very strong material. We tried to 3D print directly on fabric and, as you can see in this image, we had some amazing results! Now we are experimenting with more complex shapes to 3D print directly of T-shirts and other textiles.

LAYWOO-D3

Business card holder from wood-filled PLA filament.

LAYWOO-D3 filament is made from a wood-polymer composite that makes 3D-printed objects feel and smell like wood.

LAYBRICK

Another composite filament, which has a sandstone-like feel and makes the 3D-printed object look like made from chalk or ceramic is LAYBRICK.

PETG

A modified variant of PET is a highly durable and very transparent material. When printed in spiral-vase mode, it works excellently as a light diffuser.

ABS, PLA

We have also produced some complex and high-quality 3D prints with the ‘classic’ materials, which are PLA and ABS.

Scale model of the Gherkin scyscraper of London.

Scale model of the famous Eiffel Tower of Paris, 3D printed in high detail from white PLA.
herringbone gear
Herringbone gear (as used in some versions of filament extruder drivers), 3D printed from ABS.
A working ocarina flute, 3D printed from PLA.

Nylon

We have also been experimenting with nylon filament. But unfortunately we have yet to produce a high-quality 3D print to show you, since our filament has absorbed too much humidity, a common problem for nylon filaments. So it needs some drying out in order to produce good quality prints.

 [:el]Τις τελευταίες εβδομάδες πειραματιστήκαμε με διάφορα υλικά 3Δ εκτύπωσης. Τώρα μπορούμε και εκτυπώνουμε σε:

NinjaFlex

Ένα ευέλικτο και πολύ δυνατό υλικό με το οποίο πειραματιζόμαστε και για εκτυπώσεις κατευθείαν σε μπλουζάκια!

LAYWOO-D3

Business card holder from wood-filled PLA filament.

Ένα σύνθετο υλικό από ξύλο και πολυμερές που κάνει τα αντικείμενα να φαίνονται και να μυρίζουν σαν ξύλο.

LAYBRICK

Ένα υλικό με υφή αμμόπετρας.

PETG

Ένα υλικό υψηλής ανθεκτικότητας και διαφανές.

ABS, PLA

Έχουμε επίσης εκτυπώσει αρκετά αντικείμενα με υψηλή ποιότητα σε PLA & ABS.

Scale model of the The Gherkin scyscraper of London.

Scale model of the Eiffel Tower of Paris, 3D printed from white PLA.

Nylon

Ενώ πειραματιζόμαστε και με νύλον αλλά δεν έχουμε καταφέρει ακόμα να εκτυπώσουμε σε καλή ποιότητα μιας και το υλικό μας έχει απορροφήσει υγρασία, ένα κοινό πρόβλημα για το νύλον, και θα πρέπει να το στεγνώσουμε πριν καταφέρουμε να τυπώσουμε σωστά.[:]
