Industrial filaments

Wide range of materials for industry

The term industrial filaments covers a wide range of engineering plastics that differ in their properties and suitable applications. The most commonly used include:

• PETG – a universal, chemically resistant material with good toughness.

• ABS – a strong, thermally stable plastic suitable for structural parts.

• ASA – resistant to UV radiation and weathering – ideal for outdoor use.

• Nylon (PA) – extremely tough, flexible and abrasion resistant.

• Polycarbonate (PC) – transparent, very strong and heat resistant.

• PBT / PET-CF / PA-CF – filaments reinforced with carbon fibres to increase stiffness and strength.

• TPU / TPE – flexible industrial filaments for elastic parts.

Each of these materials is optimised for specific applications – from machine components and brackets, through technical covers, jigs and spare parts, to production prototypes exposed to heat, chemicals or UV radiation.

High-performance properties for demanding applications

Industrial filaments provide properties that are essential in a professional production environment:

• High temperature resistance (up to 150 °C for some types)

• Excellent strength, stiffness and impact resistance

• Chemical and mechanical stability

• Low moisture absorption (e.g. with nylons reinforced with carbon fibres)

• Possibility of post-processing – milling, drilling, painting, bonding

• Compatibility with industrial 3D printers and high-performance extruders

Some industrial filaments are also electrically conductive, antistatic or self-lubricating, which makes them suitable for electrotechnics, the automotive industry and robotics.

Precision and stability during printing

Unlike standard PLA materials, engineering filaments require more precise temperature control and often also an enclosed build chamber to ensure a consistent result without warping or deformation.
Modern industrial 3D printers (e.g. with nozzle temperatures up to 300–350 °C and heated beds above 100 °C) make it possible to fully exploit the potential of these filaments and achieve mechanically fully functional parts.

Recommended properties of the printing environment:

• Enclosed chamber for temperature control

• Nozzle 250–350 °C (depending on filament type)

• Build plate 80–120 °C

• Drying the material before printing (especially for Nylon and PC)

Industrial filaments for real production use

These materials are not intended only for prototyping – they are increasingly used for the production of end-use parts, functional components and assembly tools.
Thanks to their resistance to mechanical stress, oils, solvents and UV radiation, industrial filaments can replace conventional injection-moulded plastics in many applications.

Typical areas of use:

• Automotive and aerospace industry

• Production of tools, jigs and fixtures

• Electrotechnics and mechanical engineering

• Healthcare and laboratories (certified types)

• Production of functional prototypes and small-series parts

Why choose industrial filaments

• They withstand high temperatures, pressure and chemicals

• They ensure dimensional accuracy and shape stability

• They enable the production of fully functional engineering parts

• Wide selection of specialised materials for specific applications

• Higher performance than standard PLA filaments, PETG filaments or ABS filaments

Quality you can rely on

If you are looking for materials for professional and technically demanding 3D printing projects, industrial filaments are the right choice. They offer mechanical strength, thermal resistance and precision that meet the requirements of modern industry.

The Industrial filaments category brings a wide range of advanced materials that move 3D printing from an experimental stage to full-fledged production of functional parts – reliably, accurately and with a long service life.
