Ultrafuse® PET is made from a premium PET and prints as easy as PLA, but is much stronger. The filament has a large operating window for printing, so it can be used on every 3D-printer. PET will give you outstanding printing results: a good layer adhesion, a high resolution and it is easy to handle. Ultrafuse PET can be 100% recycled, is watertight and has great colors and finish. Ultrafuse® PET is based on food-safe raw materials (granulate), which are suitable for food contact applications according to the European Plastics Regulation.

The “r” stands for recycled, as Ultrafuse® rPET is made from recycled PET post industrial waste. Components printed with Ultrafuse® rPET print, look and perform as outstandingly as our PET filament made from virgin raw material. Ultrafuse® rPET is based on food-safe raw materials (granulate), which are suitable for food contact applications according to the European Plastics Regulation.

Ultrafuse® PLA PRO1 is developed as a high-speed engineering thermoplastic that prints as easy as PLA, at speeds previously considered unusable. Yet it retains far better mechanical properties, that even exceed printed ABS objects. Something that the most demanding users have always had to make a compromise on prior to Ultrafuse® PLA PRO1. By varying the print settings, users can optimize for speed, strength, surface quality or a mix of those qualities beyond performance levels of traditional filaments. Ultrafuse® PLA PRO1 has strong layer adhesion which makes prints much stronger, thus increasing functionality.

Ultrafuse® PP is high-performance thermoplastic with low density, high elasticity and high resistance to fatigue. The mechanical properties make it an ideal material for 3D-printing applications which have to endure high stress or strain. The filament has high chemical resistance and a high isolation value.

Ultrafuse® TPS 90A is an elastomer based on the raw material SEBS. The combination of durable and flexible building blocks leads to a very versatile material. Compared to other flexible 3D printing materials it shows more rubber-like soft touch haptics and better non-slip properties. Furthermore, the material shows a reduced moisture uptake, which allows for printing without pre-drying. Parts printed with Ultrafuse® TPS 90A show almost no visible layers or warpage, which makes it an excellent material choice for end-use parts.

Ultrafuse® TPU 85A filament is a flexible material, offering cushioning and durability. With excellent mechanical and chemical properties, it ensures optimal reliability, making it ideal for professional applications in footwear, sports, industrial manufacturing, automotive, and construction.

With its outstanding abrasion resistance, Ultrafuse® TPU 95A presents an excellent choice for wear and tear applications. Parts printed with this material set themselves apart by high elongation at break, great layer adhesion and a good resistance to oils as well as industrially used chemicals. Ultrafuse® TPU 95A comes with a well-balanced profile of flexibility and durability. On top of that, it allows for easier and faster printing then softer TPU grades. Due to its good printing behavior, Ultrafuse® TPU 95A is a good choice for starting printing flexible materials on both direct drive and bowden style printers.

Ultrafuse® TPU 64D combines the best of two worlds by being a strong yet flexible filament for Fused Filament Fabrication, suitable for all FFF technologies.
