4Note: It is recommended to slightly increase the extrusion multiplier (+0.2) to ensure a moreconsistent extrusion.

2) Prepare the printer- Clean the build plate and prepare it with the right surface:
We recommend to print PolyFlex™ TPU90 on BuildTak®, glass with glueor painters tape.
- Level the build plate.
- It is recommended to clean the nozzle when you change the material toprevent partial clog.
Note: It is recommended to place the printer in a well ventilated area.

43) Prepare the filament- Carefully open the resealable bag, remove the spool and close the bagback to preserve the desiccant bag.
- It is recommended to store PolyFlex™ TPU90 in the PolyBox™ to prevent moisture absorption which will lower the quality and the mechanicalproperties of the print.
- Load the filament in your printer and wait until you have a consistent
extrusion.
- At the end of the print, make sure to correctly store the filament back in
the resealable bag if you are not using the PolyBox™

4) Start the print
When the print begins make sure the first layer is correctly laid down andsticking well to the bed before leaving the printer to finish the print.

5PolyFlexTM TPU90
PolyFlex™ TPU90, created from Covestro’s Addigy® family, is athermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) based filament designed to provide
great flexibility without compromising on printing speed. It also have theability to resist ultra-violet (UV) light or sunlight.

Product Families
PolyLiteTM
ABS, PETG, PLA, PC, ASA
PolyLite™ is a family of 3D printing filaments made with the best raw materials to deliver
exceptional quality and reliability. PolyLite™ covers the most popular 3D printing materials
to meet your everyday needs in design and prototyping.

PolyMaxTM
PLA, PC, PETG,

PC-FR

PolyMax™ is a family of advanced 3D printing filaments produced with Polymaker’s
Nano-reinforcement technology, to deliver exceptional mechanical properties and printing
quality.

PolyFlexTM
TPU90, TPU95,

TPU95-HF

Hardware
Polysher™, PolyBox™
Polymaker offers 3D printing accessories to optimize the user experience with theirfilaments.

9Technologies
Regular PLA

With Jam-FreeTM

JAM-FREE™

Jam-Free™ technology improves the heat stabilityof Polymaker’s PLA filaments with softening
temperatures over 140 °C. As a result, Polymaker’s
PLA filaments show minimal softening in the “coldend” and can melt rapidly once entering the heatingzone, leading to excellent printing quality with zerorisk of nozzle jams.

Regular Nylon

With Warp-FreeTM

WARP-FREE™

Warp-Free™ technology enables the productionof Nylon-based filaments that can be 3D printed
with excellent dimensional stability and near-zero
warpage. This is achieved by the fine control ofmicro-structure and crystallization behavior ofNylon, which enables the material to fully release theinternal stress before solidification.

Without Ash-FreeTM
Ash content: 0.5%

ASH-FREE™

Ash-Free™ technology allows Polymaker’s filament
which has been designed for investment casting
to burn off cleanly without any residue, enabling
defect-free metal parts. 3D printing has been used
to produce investment casting patterns as it cuts
down both the cost and lead time for small-volume
production runs.

10With Ash-FreeTM
Ash content: 0.003%

Rough surface

With Layer-FreeTM

LAYER-FREE™
Layer-Free™ technology involves exposing a 3D
printed part to an aerosol of micro-sized alcohol
droplets, generated by a rapidly vibrating,perforated membrane called the nebulizer. Theaerosol will then be adsorbed by the surface of the3D printed part and render it smooth and layer-free.

NANO-REINFORCEMENT

Nano-reinforcement technology is applied toproduce filaments with excellent mechanicalproperties and printing quality. It dramatically
improves the toughness of the material by increasing
its impact resistance.

Wood

Stabilized FoamingTM

STABILIZED FOAMING™

Stabilized Foaming™ technology is used to produce
foamed filaments, whose foam structure can survive
the printing process and be inherited by the printedparts. This enables light weight 3D printed parts with
unprecedented surface finish.

FIBER ADHESION™

Fiber Adhesion™ technology improves the layer
adhesion of fiber reinforced materials, by optimizing
the surface chemistry of the fibers to achieve betterdispersion and bonding to the matrix. This results
in better strength along the Z-axis and reduced
mechanical anisotropy.

11Hardware
Polymaker offers 3D printing accessories to optimize the user experience
with their filaments.

PolyBox™

PolysherTM

PolyBox™ is a dry storagebox designed to provide theoptimum environment for3D printing filaments. The
PolyBox™ is compatible with all
3D printers and can house two
1kg spools or one 3kg spool.

The Polysher™ is a desktop postprocessing unit designed to remove
layer lines from PolySmooth™ andPolyCast™ prints. The Polysher™
uses Polymaker’s Layer-Free™
technology to create a fine mist ofalcohol which evenly smooths themodel.
