We expand our range of advanced materials for 3D printing
We launch two new products for additive manufacturing specially designed for applications with high mechanical performance. These advanced materials are based on Repsol's special polypropylene grades and have been reinforced with mineral fillers and fiberglass, respectively, improving their mechanical properties.
We expand our range of 3D printing products with two new advanced polypropylene (PP) materials, designed for technical applications where high mechanical performance is required. The Repsol Isplen P3D820FM and Repsol Isplen P3D630FV grades are reinforced with mineral fillers and fiberglass, are especially suitable for printing small and large-format pieces.
In 2020 we launched the PP · 3D range for 3D printing with three grades of polypropylene, custom-designed for additive manufacturing thanks to the modification of some polymers' characteristics.
With these two new materials, we are committed to the technicalization and specialization of our products, which allow us to respond to the highest requirements in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, toys, leisure, and health, among others. Our entire range can be used in the manufacture of filament for the technology of FFF (fused filament fabrication), also known as FDM (fused deposition modeling), or directly for use in pellet format for equipment that uses the technology of FGF (fused granulated fabrication).
Our 3D printing materials can be used to manufacture prototypes and functional parts. In this way, we promote the use of 3D printing technologies that represent an advance in the concept of circularity, since they allow to optimize the consumption of material from the design stage and minimize the waste of materials in the printing stage. In addition, like the rest of Repsol's polyolefins, these products are 100% recyclable.
