3D printing

In the fast-moving world of fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printing, you want a material that can keep up with your design demands. Look at what PMMA can offer you: 

The key for you?

  • High purity – any contaminated material can either block the printing nozzle or break the lace being printed. With PMMA’s high purity and excellent printability, you don’t need to worry.
  • Uniform thickness – no inconsistencies, so it can feed through your printer effortlessly
  • Controlled shrinkage and warpage of the final prints
  • Easily coiled for filament manufacture
  • When you cut the filament, you get a clean cut every time
  • Designed to be compatible with all FFF printers

Whether you’re looking to produce 3D printing filaments or buy them for yourself, we can give you all the advice you need to help PMMA make your project a success. You can contact us here.

Our 3Diakon® PMMA filaments have been developed in collaboration with Mitsubishi Chemical Performance Polymers, so you know you’re getting the best global advice and expertise when you get in touch.  

Plus, if you’re working with Ultimaker – the world’s leading provider of desktop 3D printing equipment – Diakon® PMMA is registered and fully compatible with their machines. 

Freeform injection moulding

Diakon® PMMA is fully approved and compatible with this exciting 3D printing technology, unlocking so many new possibilities for you.  

Freeform injection moulded PMMA parts can give you incredible levels of intricate detail which traditional injection moulding can’t match. It’s also ideally suited to small-scale production requirements and gives you great freedom for prototyping.  

Perhaps the most impressive thing this makes possible is micro injection moulding – meaning you can use PMMA to achieve microscopic detail for the most specialist needs. 

We’ve collaborated with Danish 3D printing pioneer, AddiFab, on freeform injection moulding.
