But what about materials? To see your 3D model reach its full potential, Ira3D has introduced their line of special new Made in Italy filaments that allow not only for a great experience in printing, but due to their quality, you will feel more comfortable experimenting and being even more creative in your making endeavors.
The Ira3D team points out that many of you will continue to use ABS due to its thermal resistance and versatility in rapid prototyping, choosing it for fabricating gears, mechanisms, and other constructions which will be prone to both static and dynamic friction. Due to that, they’ve produced a new ABS filament which is able to reduce warping by 80%, meaning that resistance and mechanical stress are improved even further. You will also see the print quality of your 3D models improved because of the ‘no layer’ effect.
If you are looking for what Ira3D describes as indestructible yet still flexible, you may want to try their new range of Nylon HQ filaments. They come in multiple colors (blue, green, orange, yellow, black, and white) and allow for extended functionality, resistance, and reliability. The team recommends their Nylon HQ if you are printing at seriously high temperatures, seeking powerful printing for functional prototypes. It also offers the following advantages:
- Higher mechanical strength and durability
- Less chance of delamination
- Improved surface finish
- No need for heated bed
- Ability to make objects of all sizes
- No toxins
- No fumes
And if you are interested in 3D printing with a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), Gummify offers an incredibly elastic material that you can be promised will not deform and does revert back to its original shape. The company sees it as one of their most unique products, lending itself to numerous very important applications from the automotive industry to medical, capable of producing spectacular components and tools.
Ira3D is a young Italian company, founded in 2014, committed to providing sophisticated and innovative tools for their users, allowing them to change the way they work and create. We’ve followed this team as they’ve released previous printers and exotic filaments as well as the Poetry X Center package and the most recent all-in-one Poetry Manufacturing System. The ultimate mission for this dynamic Italian team is to see that their users are able to continue pushing the limits of innovation as well as looking forward to high performance for work projects and manufacturing as well.
