SWISSFIL® PLA has a heat deflection temperature around 55°C. It can be used for temperatures up to 45°C (continuous) and 60°C (short-period), respectively. The filament is bio-degradable, can be dissolved in many organic solvents and shows a high UV light resistance. It’s based on Ingeo™ PLA resin from Natureworks which is one of the purest and top grade PLA resins worldwide. For further material properties please check the technical datasheet.
Typically, the PLA filament is printed at temperatures between 190-220°C. For better build plate adhesion a heated print bed is recommended with a build plate temperature of 50-70°C.
In case the PLA was stored in a humid enviroment for some time, drying is recommended before use. It can be dryed during two to four hours at 80°C.

SWISSFIL® PLA has a heat deflection temperature around 55°C. It can be used for temperatures up to 45°C (continuous) and 60°C (short-period), respectively. The filament is bio-degradable, can be dissolved in many organic solvents. It’s based on Ingeo™ PLA resin from Natureworks which is one of the purest and top grade PLA resins worldwide. Compared to standard PLA Tough PLA has an impact strength similar to ABS. For further material properties please check the technical datasheet.
Typically, the Tough PLA filament is printed at temperatures between 190-220°C. For better build plate adhesion a heated print bed is recommended with a build plate temperature of 50-70°C.
In case the Tough PLA was stored in a humid enviroment for some time, drying is recommended before use. It can be dryed during two to four hours at 80°C.

SWISSFIL® ASA has a heat deflection temperature around 92°C. It can be used for temperatures up to 80°C (continuous) and 95°C (short-period), respectively. The filament has an excellent UV-light and weather resistance and is therefore suitable for outdoor purposes. For further material properties please check the technical datasheet.
Typically, the ASA filament is printed at temperatures between 210-260°C. A heated print bed is needed with a build plate temperature of 80-100°C.
In case the ASA was stored in a humid enviroment for some time, drying is highly recommended before use. It can be dryed during two to four hours at 80°C.

SWISSFIL® PET-G is PET which is modified with glycol to make it printable. It can resist diluted acids, water at room temperature, various oils and greases and alcohols. It is weather-proof and has a high wear resistance, good electrical isolation properties and a strong creep resistance. For further material properties please check the technical datasheet.
Typically, the PET-G filament is printed at temperatures between 210-260°C. A heated print bed is recommended with a build plate temperature of 60-80°C.
In case the PET-G was stored in a humid enviroment for some time, drying is highly recommended before use. It can be dryed during two to four hours at 80°C.

TPU-54D
Thermoplastic Polyurethane (with hardness 54 Shore D)
SWISSFIL® TPU-54D 2.85mm is currently available as transparent filament.
|
Transparent in 2.85mm |
SWISSFIL® TPU-54D belongs to the family of thermoplastic elastomeres. It has a good chemical resistance and is also quite fatigue-proof.
On 3D printers with a Bowden extruder TPU can only be printed at low speed. Thanks to its hardness of 54 Shore D it is not prone to being stuck in the Bowden tube. For further material properties please check the technical datasheet.
Typically, the TPU filament is printed at temperatures between 225-245°C. It is normally printed onto a glass build plate at room temperature. No adhesion agent or closed build space is necessary.
In case the TPU was stored in a humid enviroment for some time, drying is highly recommended before use. It can be dryed during two to four hours at 90°C.
Since summer 2019 SWISSFIL® is shipped on cardboard spools. Thanks to a water-soluble glue, they can be fully recycled.
