Spectrum Nylon PA6 Low Warp GF30 NATURAL 1.75mm 0,5kg

Heat-stabilised 30% glass fibre reinforced copolyamide

Spectrum PA6 Low Warp GF30™ is a composite material based on technical nylon 6. The use of this type of filler is typically applied to increase mechanical refinement in terms of tensile and compressive strength.

When were trying to choose the ingredients for the composite, we wanted to bring out the full potential of glass fibres as a performance-enhancing additive, which is why we decided to go for an uncompromised blend with up to 30% glass firbe content. Much like with just about any type of polymer-glass composites, we used a functionalised version of the fibres with a less aggressive geometry, reducing degradation of the printer nozzle.

Spectrum PA6 Low Warp GF30™ is a filament for users who are most concerned with high mechanical performance, high hardness and heat resistance from their models. With the high glass fibre content, this is a filament with very low processing shrinkage. What’s interesting, when it comes to thermal resistance, Spectrum PA6 Low Warp GF30™ filament is not inferior to the HDT – 180°C (0.45MPa) properties of the version with carbon fibre filling, which places it in the top-tier materials dedicated to desktop 3D printers in this respect.

Key features

• 30% glass fibres
• high mechanical properties and abrasion resistance
• excellent chemical resistance
• HDT thermal resistance – 180°C (0.45MPa)
• printable on desktop devices without a heated chamber
• matt, carbonised print surface
• perfect bonding of the layers

Applications

• functional prototype,
• production tooling
• working components of tools and machinery – rotors, gears
• guides, gear racks, guide rollers
• manufaturing protective rings and plates with increased chemical and corrosion resistance

Packaging
Filament is reeled on the neat, transparent spool. Each spool contains information on the type of material, diameter and recommended printing temperature. Filament is vacuum-packed with a moisture absorber. Whole product packed in the original, folied Spectrum Filaments packaging.

VERIFY YOUR SPOOL – the most precise quality control system on  the market

Filament for 3D printers is manufactured by the method of free extrusion, which is one of the most difficult processing techniques by extrusion, due to the particularly significant impact of process parameters on product dimensions and material homogenization.

During the production each 1mm of Spectrum Filament is being continuously measured in 2 axes with ±0.8µm accuracy, which allow obtaining a high-quality final product. To prove this, Spectrum Filaments, as one of the few manufacturers in the world, has introduced the possibility of online presentation, individually for each manufactured spool:

• the course of diameter on the entire length of the spool,
• mean diameter,
• ovality,
• standard deviation.

Precise survey guarantees that Spectrum Filaments products meet rigorous market requirements.
