Farsoon Technologies continues to add options for its users with a partnership that expands its open materials ecosystem. The company has integrated three new industrial polymers from Advanced Laser Materials (ALM), a subsidiary of EOS. Among them are a PEKK blend with carbon fiber, a bio-based polyamide, and a flame-retardant material for demanding sectors.
Polymers for critical applications and sustainability 🧪
The HT-23 is a PEKK-based blend reinforced with carbon fiber, designed as an alternative to Ultem. The PA 850 Black is a bio-based polyamide with a melting point of 185°C. The FR-106 is a flame-retardant material with a tensile strength of up to 44 MPa, designed for aerospace and railway applications. All three are compatible with Farsoon's 1001P, 601P, 403P, and 252P systems.
Polymers with pedigree: now also for the rest of us mortals 🚀
ALM, a subsidiary of EOS, lending its materials to Farsoon is like Ferrari lending its engine to a Dacia. Farsoon users can now print with polymers that previously smelled of heavy industry and defense budgets. That said, the price of PEKK with carbon fiber will probably make you look fondly at your cheap PLA filament.
