The Austrian 3D printing service provider Nemeton is expanding its range of services, which previously specialized in laser sintering, to include FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) technology. The focus here is on the industrial use of technical filaments for mechanically resilient applications. The company works closely with the LEHVOSS Group and uses its high-performance materials to manufacture components with high dimensional accuracy and thermal resilience.
Nemeton focuses specifically on a small selection of fiber-reinforced materials, including PA6, PET-CF and PPS-CF. This allows properties ranging from tough-elastic to highly rigid to be covered. According to LEHVOSS, the continuous operating temperatures range up to 260 °C. This focus means that printing processes and machine technology can be optimally matched to the materials used. Managing Director Harald Stepanovsky points to the combination of consistent print quality and easy scalability: series production with quantities in the six-figure range is also possible.
According to the manufacturer, the materials used offer a good price-performance ratio. For example, lighter and more energy-efficient components can be produced with PPS-CF and PET-CF – an advantage for applications in vehicle construction or mechanical engineering. Hardened nozzles with 0.6 mm are recommended for abrasive filaments. Closed printing chambers, filament drying and precise temperature control are key requirements for reproducible results. For PET-G, which is also included in the range, Nemeton mentions food-safe properties and good recyclability.
