Zirconium Silicate (Zircopax®) Filamet™ is available as 1.75mm and 2.85mm filament and as pellets.

Specs: This filament comes in 0.25kg and 0.5kg spools and 1kg bags of pellets. It contains 64.0% - 69.0% zirconium silicate and has a density of 2.11g/cc.

High Compatibility: This Filamet™ enables any open-architecture Fused Filament Fabrication 3D printer to produce ceramic objects. Even works in 3D printing pens!

Easy to Print: All you need is an open architecture 3D printer, a 0.6mm hardened steel nozzle, and a model to print. Print like regular PLA. Place your spool so that the filament coming off is going straight into the extruder. The flow rate in your slicer may need to be adjusted up to 135%. Little to no warping occurs during printing.

Advanced Properties: Filamet™ is less hygroscopic than regular PLA. Filament dryers have adverse effects on Filamet™. Spools should not be dried.

Fully Sinterable Ceramic Filament: Once fired in a sintering furnace, the result is 100% ceramic. Sintering trials have not been conducted for this product. 

Special Qualities: High performance ceramic material.

Used For: Partner Innovators have used this filament for high temperature applications and research and development.

Eliminate tooling and machining costs for short run manufacturing, prototyping, and one-off ceramic part needs.

Note: All sales final except in cases of defective product.
