Xenia Materials (Mussolente, Italy), a global producer of high-performance thermoplastic specialties, has expanded into the fused deposition modeling/fused filament fabrication (FDM/FFF) 3D printing sector by introducing its 3DF Materials family of products.
This new collection offers users a complete range of filament-based solutions for different applications in 3D printing. In addition to traditional high-strength and lightweight properties, Xenia says 3DF materials enhance chemical resistance, and offer sustainability.
Xecarb SL 3DF features a 100% bio-based PA11 polymer matrix reinforced with 15% carbon fiber. Incorporating Xenia’s SuperLight technology, it reaches an ideal density of 0.99 g/cm³.
Xelight 3DF combines polyether block amide’s (PEBA) flexibility and impact resistance with Xenia’s specialized engineering, offering a density value of 0.87 g/cm³. This filament is ideal for projects demanding high flexibility and lightweight performance.
Xecarb 45 3DF is designed for applications that require both structural integrity and resistance to chemically aggressive environments. The material integrates 10% carbon fiber into a structurally modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) base.
Xegreen 23 3DF is developed from 100% recycled polymers and fibers. Based on a 20% carbon fiber-reinforced PETG, this filament provides mechanical strength and lightweight properties while meeting sustainability objectives, making it an ideal for environmentally conscious manufacturers.
