Essentium Inc., a leading provider of 3D printing technology for additive manufacturing, will introduce its new portfolio of advanced high-temperature (HT) nylon materials for additive manufacturing at Formnext 2019. The new materials deliver high heat, chemical and fatigue resistance as well as high strength for industrial applications while being as easy to print as Polylactic Acid (PLA) thermoplastics at low print temperatures.

Essentium developed the new HT nylon range of materials to offer manufacturers a cost-effective alternative to niche HT materials that require high-temperature extruders. Combining nylon with carbon fiber, the materials are more than four times stronger than high-performance Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and have a heat deflection temperature of 200°C, allowing manufacturers to print tough and impact resistant parts to withstand the rigors of the factory floor.

At Formnext 2019, the new materials will be demonstrated on an Essentium High Speed Extrusion (HSE) 3D Printing Platform, showcasing how the materials open up more capabilities for additive manufacturing users such as for producing high-performance machine parts, tools and jigs and fixtures in aerospace, automotive and electronic manufacturing sectors.
