Formfutura, a Netherland-based company developing and producing 3D printing material, has just announced the immediate availability of their HDglass filament series:
“HDglass is our new amorphous , high strength & performance and ultra-transparent modified PETG compounded 3D printer filament range. HD is short for “Heavy Duty”, as HDglass™ has excellent properties when it comes to strength, toughness and temperature resistance for same like materials. Next to being heavy duty, HDglass™ has a very impressive transparency as it is an amorphous filament, which lets 90% of the visible light pass through its fibre and has less than 1% haze. With HDglass™ you are now able to get the closest approximate to glass-like results for 3D printed objects.”
HDglass has several unique features:
- FDA food and drink contact approved
- Extremely transparent
- High gloss
- Very though
- Odourless processing/printing
- Excellent first- and interlayer adhesion
- Nearly warp-free
- No heat bed required
- Excellent thermal stability
- Recyclable
The new material is in many characteristics similar to filaments such as t-glase and XT, but has an unique focus on transparency and printer friendliness. Formfutura currently offers HDglass in five different colours through their online shop: clear, red, green, blue and black.
