The Virtual Foundry Bronze Filament™ (Bronze Metal Filament) is available as 0.5kg/1.75mm.
Specs: This filament comes in 0.5kg and 1kg spools and 1kg bags of pellets. It contains 88.0% – 90.0% metal and has a density of 4.29g/cc – 4.5g/cc.
High Compatibility: This Filamet™ enables any open-architecture Fused Filament Fabrication 3D printer to produce metal 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, a Filawarmer, 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: Filament is less hygroscopic than regular PLA. Filament dryers have adverse affects on Filament™. Spools should not be dried.
Fully Sinterable Metal Filament: Once fired in a sintering furnace, the result is 100% metal.
Special Qualities: Bronze Filament™ is our easiest material to print and sinter. It is the perfect material to begin with.
Used For: Partner Innovators have used this filament for research.
Eliminate tooling and machining costs for short run manufacturing, prototyping, and one-off metal part needs.
