Soluble Support Material for 3D Printing

3DGence ESM-30

ESM-30 is a reliable high-temperature soluble support material, featuring plenty of advantages. Soluble support materials make post-processing quicker and easier, reducing the time and cost dedicated to the project. Manual labor is replaced by the automated process.

Apart from thermoplastic filaments used to create new objects, Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) technology uses soluble materials to support the main structure. Making some complex geometries without a support material would not be possible. These support structures allow the printing of models with overhanging geometries. When the printout is ready, the user has to rip off the main filament from the support material. It can be done manually (when you use breakaway material) or “automatically” (if soluble material is applied). Using soluble material is easier – it is all about placing the printed item into a solvent and waiting until the support material dissolves. This way of getting rid of support material takes less time, is less absorbing for the user, and does not generate the risk of damaging fragile elements. These are the key reasons why many 3D printing users prefer soluble support materials over breakaway ones.

ESM-30 by 3DGence is a high-temperature alternative to other popular support polymers (BVOH, PVOH, PVA). The filament reduces the risk of clogging the nozzle. On the other hand, due to its tendency to moisture absorption, it requires to be stored in the packaging with a seal. A proper storage environment is a must if you want to get the best out of ESM-30. The support can be dissolved in mid alkaline solution. Both the dissolving agent and dissolving station are available in the 3DGence offer.

The most significant advantage of ESM-30 is its ability to withstand higher chamber temperatures while maintaining its supporting abilities. It allows the use of model materials that require higher chamber temperature. This characteristic leads to the final part’s expected mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy.

Compatibility

ESM-30 is a soluble 3D printing support material dedicated to high-temperature materials for FDM printing, enabling the creation of complex structures without the need for manual support removal. This advanced material works with a wide range of high-performance filaments to provide precise and reliable results. Compatible materials include 3DXTech PC-ESD, Kimya PEKK-A, LEXAN™ EXL AMHI240F and Victrex AM™200, allowing this support to be used in the most demanding industrial applications.

Key benefits of ESM-30

• resistant to higher chamber temperatures;
• the limited time of post-processing, e.g., PC-ESD and VICTREX AM™ 200;
• reduced risk of model damage;
• easiness of removing support material;
• compatible with high-performance thermoplastics;
• no clogging and good adhesion to both the model and print bed;
• non-toxic;
• high dimensional accuracy.

ESM-30 industrial applications

ESM-30 is a versatile support material that can be used in many sectors. It is especially recommended for those who want to reduce the manual work and risk of printout damage. Before buying this support material, you should double-check with 3DGence advisors what filaments are compatible with ESM-30. Feel free to ask 3DGence customer support to find out more details.

Filament Polymaker PolyLite™ ASA

PolyLite™ ASA by Polymaker is one of the basic filaments suitable for industrial-grade 3D printing. UV resistance, water resistance, and good mechanical properties can be mentioned as the main advantages of the material.

This amorphous filament belongs to commodity polymers, which means there are some limitations regarding the resistance and durability of the elements made of ASA. The filament suits well in many less-demanding applications, which makes this polymer popular among both AM professionals and 3D printing enthusiasts. This material works well for rapid prototyping. It is easy for printing and post-processing. PolyLite™ ASA is characterized by good chemical resistance and a high level of dimensional stability. Its chemical composition is similar to ABS, with two differences. Firstly, ASA is much better at weather resistance, and secondly, printouts made of ASA have a nice, matte finish that makes layer lines less visible. Another attribute of ASA is vast range of colors, which can be found by browsing the 3DGence Store offer.

Key benefits of PolyLite™ ASA

• water and UV light resistance,
• good mechanical properties,
• affordable price,
• ease of printing.

PolyLite™ ASA applications

One of the best things about 3D printing technology is the great diversity of polymers that highly affects the miscellaneous results. ASA shows medium mechanical performance. It fits perfectly for multiple outdoor applications: mailbox, garden or sports equipment, bike handlers, and so on. Many customers, including automotive companies, use it for functional sampling, creating impact-resistant models, and prototyping.

PolyLite™ ASA: good to know

The material is compatible with our industrial 3D printers: INDUSTRY™ F350 and INDUSTRY™ F421. Moreover, it works with soluble support material which results in an easier and quicker processing stage. To obtain big printouts featuring good dimensional stability, you need a 3D printer with an enclosed heated chamber.

PEEK-CF is one of the most durable polymers for technical use, offering top chemical, tensile, and heat resistance. This filament was created for industrial professionals who need uncompromised quality of end-use parts, to deal with demanding surroundings.

Filament description

What is CF-PEEK? KETASPIRE® PEEK-CF is a semi-crystalline, thermoplastic filament from the high-performance polymers range.

A combination of PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) and CF (carbon fiber) results in extraordinary resistance, thus PEEK-CF is suitable to replace metal parts in some critical applications working in extreme surroundings. Carbon fiber 10% addiction to PEEK gives the 3D printing filament extra strength, high stiffness, and dimensional stability.

In comparison to PEEK filament, PEEK-CF provides even more flexural and impact resistance. It is ductile too. Printing with PEEK-CF is odorless, and it does not emit smoke and toxic gases. Last but not least, the product has low flammability.

Key benefits of PEEK-CF

· High mechanical properties – the polymer might replace metal parts in severe environments.

· Superb chemical, flexural, and tensile resistance makes it one of the most durable polymers available on the market.

· Great heat resistance: items printed with PEEK-CF are able to perform up to 240 °C.

Industrial applications of PEEK-CF

Because of its extraordinary mechanical properties, many industrial companies find PEEK-CF very useful for printing end-use parts, which are capable to face severe conditions. To give you some examples, the automotive, aerospace, defense, semiconductor, medical, and oil & gas sectors are the main beneficiaries of 3D printing with PEEK-CF.

This polymer is suitable for printing dynamically-stressed parts, seals, compressor components, bushings, gears, and bearings.

PEEK-CF filament: good to know

At present, black is the only color available. 3DGence is the first company to implement the ESM-10, soluble support material to be printed with PEEK-CF. Using the soluble material makes post-processing easier, quicker, and more cost-effective. It can be used with a breakaway support material as well.

The printing profile is available in 3DGence SLICER 4.0. PEEK-CF filament is compatible with our 3D printers: INDUSTRY F340, INDUSTRY F350 and INDUSTRY F421.

How much is CF-PEEK filament? Due to its extra durability and top properties, KetaSpire® CF10 LS1 AM Filament is one of the most expensive filaments on the market.
