SABIC lancia il filamento di supporto avanzato breakaway volto ad aumentare la produttività per i produttori di parti

Una pompa per olio automobilistica, stampata con il filamento ULTEM™ AM9085F di SABIC e con il nuovo filamento per supporti AMS31F.SABIC, un leader globale nel settore chimico, ha annunciato oggi il lancio del filamento AMS31F, un materiale di supporto breakaway nella modellazione a deposizione di fuso (FDM). Il nuovo filamento mantiene la rigidità durante lo stampaggio e fornisce un’eccezionale malleabilita’ nelle lavorazioni secondarie, rendendo più facile la rimozione delle strutture di supporto a temperatura ambiente, una caratteristica che può contribuire a ridurre i tempi necessari alla produzione del componente finito. Il nuovo filamento AMS31F è studiato per essere utilizzato assieme al filamento ULTEM AM9085F di SABIC, una polietereimmide(PEI) ad alte prestazioni, dotato di elevata resistenza al calore e robustezza meccanica, caratteristiche ottimali per applicazioni nel settore aerospaziale ed in quello automobilistico, come pure nel petrolifero e nelle produzione di stampi.
