PLA & PETG
Suitable for many enclosures, fit checks, brackets and general prototypes. Temperature and long-term loads still need assessment.
ENGINEERING MATERIALS / FDM / FFF
Carbon-filled 3D printing
for functional parts.
FDM 3D printing in Switzerland using carbon- or glass-fibre-filled thermoplastics where technically suitable. We assess materials, geometry and loading for every project.
MATERIAL SELECTION / Practical requirements
Choosing the
right filament
Loading, temperature, moisture, print orientation and the exact polymer grade matter more than the marketing label.
PET-CF & PA6-CF
Short carbon fibres may increase stiffness. These abrasive filaments require suitable processing and careful assessment of moisture and heat. Available on request.
PET-GF & other GF filaments
Glass-fibre-filled materials can be useful for dimensional stability, depending on the grade and print conditions. Surface finish and toughness vary.
Other engineering polymers
Further thermoplastics may be assessed based on their datasheets, current equipment and availability. Not every combination can be printed reliably.
Short fibres are not continuous fibres
PET-CF and PA6-CF use short chopped carbon fibres. FORMORIX does not currently offer continuous-fibre printing. No specific structural, thermal or certified properties are guaranteed without appropriate testing.
CAPABILITIES / Custom FDM
Technical printing options
Up to 300 × 300 × 300 mm
Nominal Creality K1 Max build volume. Actual usable dimensions depend on geometry, filament, orientation and clearances.
PEI surfaces & nozzle choice
Textured or smooth PEI surfaces and different nozzle diameters can be selected for a part. Please specify critical dimensions and desired surface finish.
Typical applications
Examples include printer and machine fixtures, adapters, technical enclosures, jigs and RC model parts. We do not provide certified manufacturing for safety-critical or regulated uses.
