SWARCOFORCE glass filler beads as a filler and reinforcing material in the additive manufacturing of plastics
Additive manufacturing refers to the construction of parts based on a digital 3D model. The material is added in layers without the use of shaping tools. All shapes can be defined freely within the 3D printer’s build volume. This manufacturing method has proven valuable in prototype construction, as well as in the production of small series and increasing lot sizes. Among its main advantages, 3D printing allows for a high degree of customization and the production of complex geometries.
Applications
SELECTIVE LASER SINTERING (SLS)
FUSED DEPOSITION MODELLING (FDM)
Multi-Jet Printing (MJP)
Enhanced properties of materials
Improved scratch resistance
Improved abrasion resistance
Optimized rigidity and pressure resistance
Better heat deflection
Reduced warpage and shrinkage behaviour
Higher precision of 3D printing results
Glass filler beads improve the properties of materials
In the additive manufacturing of plastics, SWARCOFORCE glass filler beads from SWARCO Indusferica optimize the material’s properties. As a filler and reinforcing material, they are used in particular in selective laser sintering (SLS) and fused deposition modelling (FDM) manufacturing processes. The glass filler beads are added to the powdered polymer (SLS) or compounded into the filament (FDM) before the printing process. Thanks to SWARCOFORCE glass filler beads, the finished 3D printed parts exhibit improved contraction and warpage behaviour as well as optimized mechanical properties.
