Forefront Filament The new generation of 3D printing filaments, made from polyolefins. Why Polyolefins for 3D Printing Filaments?

High performance characteristics - during printing, in the printed part itself, and from an environmental perspective. Quality PLA and ABS filaments can work well but also have their limitations - producing brittle parts that absorb water and, in the case of ABS at least, producing harmful gases during the 3D printing process. They also don't perform well on reuse after grinding, so waste material

s are often just that - waste. With our knowledge of performance polyolefins, we thought we could do better - in relation to performance during the printing, performance of the printed part in use, and environmental performance. Providing high definition, impact resistant prints that are water & moisture resistant, Forefront Filament offers a range of flexible and tough 3D printing filaments that contain no styrene, isocyanate, phthalates or esters and they produce no harmful gases or unpleasant odours when printing. Polyolefinic materials offer a great balance of properties and are clean materials to manufacture and work with. They are the most widely used plastics in the world for many reasons as they are also easy to recycle and reuse.

Why is 3D Printing with Forefront F43 Tough Polypropylene (PP) great for Orthopedic applications? Luckily we've written a snappily titled blog to answer that very question.

Over the last year we’ve worked with a number of organisations, both in the commercial and education arenas, who are looking to understand if our Polypropylene (PP) filaments could be a good material for the manufacture of orthopedic parts. Specifically, our F43 Tough modified PP has been used in ...
