Italian manufacturer Xenia Materials is expanding its 3D printing portfolio and presenting four new materials for FFF 3D printing at Formnext 2024. With its 3DF Materials brand, Xenia is increasingly entering the additive manufacturing market and is targeting manufacturers looking for high-performance, lightweight and sustainable materials.
The new materials – XECARB SL 3DF, XELIGHT 3DF, XECARB 45 3DF and XEGREEN 23 3DF – combine strength, chemical resistance and sustainability.
XECARB SL 3DF is based on a 100% bio-based PA11 polymer matrix and is reinforced with 15% carbon fibers. Thanks to Xenia’s SuperLight technology, the material achieves a low density of 0.99 g/cm³ combined with high strength and lightness, making it ideal for lightweight construction applications.
XELIGHT 3DF combines the flexibility and impact resistance of PEBA with special technical processing that enables a density of just 0.87 g/cm³. This material is suitable for components that require flexibility and low weight, for example in the sports or fashion industry.
For demanding environments, Xenia offers XECARB 45 3DF, a material with 10% carbon fiber reinforcement and a PVDF base that ensures structural integrity and chemical resistance. It has been developed for applications that require high stability in aggressive environments.
The fourth new material, XEGREEN 23 3DF, underlines Xenia’s commitment to sustainability. It is made from 100% recycled polymers and fibers and is based on a PETG reinforced with 20% carbon fiber. This material offers mechanical strength and lightness and is particularly appealing to environmentally conscious manufacturers.
