Printing Filamet™ with Ultimaker: Tips and Setup
Imagine combining the versatility of PLA with the strength and allure of metal, glass, or ceramic. Filamet™ 3D printing materials are ingeniously crafted, infusing regular PLA with metal, glass, or ceramic powder. Since the metal powder is held together with PLA, these filaments print just like PLA. Sweet! In general, you’ll select the generic PLA

A Fully 3D Printed, Multi-Material, and High Operating Temperature Electromagnetic Actuator
“Three-dimensional (3D) printing concepts that combine electrically conductive and electrically insulating materials opens up new opportunities for the design and manufacturing of electromagnetic actuators. While significant research has been conducted to 3D print antennas and planar circuits using silver nanoparticle inks, little focus has been given towards high power (>1 W) actuator applications. In this
Tensile strength, elastic modulus and thermal conductivity of 3D-Printed components using bronze/PLA filament
“This work shows an in-depth study to produce a sintered metallic material through Cu89/Sn11 bronze polylactic acid (PLA) filament printed with low-cost Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology. Tensile strength, elastic modulus and thermal conductivity were determined according to ISO 2740 and ASTM E1530 standards respectively. Two printing parameters configurations with their corresponding debinding/sintering thermal curves
