Where high temperature plastics are required in FFF processes, Ensinger filaments are very well suited. There are stock materials available as well as the option to develop customized filaments. Engineers of all Ensinger branches and divisions are in continuous exchange to provide specialised materials best fitting to the customers applications. The goal is to supply customers with high quality materials which can be used for new technologies like additive manufacturing. WHY ENSINGER filaments High temperature plastics Customized products Expertise Extensive standard portfolio with 22 different materials Close tolerances Homogeneous material Various diameters, modifications and colours Qualified for common printers HIGH QUALITY FILAMENTS Ensinger is providing a broad spectrum of filaments made of different materials with different properties. We offer stock filaments and filaments from materials customized according to your needs. DIRECTLY TO THE SHOP PRODUCT OVERVIEW ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING - SERVICES AND ACTIVITIES On the basis of a vast and longstanding experience in working with high temperature thermoplastics Ensinger offers consultation for the whole workflow of additive manufacturing. In this new and ever-changing enviroment of 3D printing, we work in close co-operation with universities, research organisations and printer manufacturers. Our specialists will help you to find the right material for your desired application, provide you with high quality filaments and consult you throughout the process of the printing, machining and all finishing processes. ADVANTAGES OF ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING Additive manufacturing with Ensinger filaments enables forms of products which are not possible with any other processing technology. This opens application fields for high performance plastics that were unthinkable before. Free forms, honeycomb and lattice structures Integration of functions: parts that previously had to be produced in several pieces can now be produced in one go and in one piece Freedom in design 3D print is an additive process, in which objects are being constructed in layers starting from the base. Different processing technologies are available. The suitable technology depends on the mechanical properties, the different advantages of the materials and the aesthetic requirements. Together with the partners Ensinger is engaged in different processing technologies. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is looking very promising for the future of processing high performance thermoplastics. The focus is on Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). COMBINING ALL STEPS OF PROCESSING: ENSINGER COVERS THE ENTIRE VALUE ADDED SUPPLY CHAIN Beginning with the compounds, which can be modified according to specific customer requirements, moving right through to the production of the actual filaments, which are then used for producing parts via additive manufacturing. Additionally, further processing such as machining, surface finishing and laser marking can be used to optimise the result. CORE INDUSTRIES FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING MEDICAL AEROSPACE AUTOMOTIVE MECHANICAL Additive manufacturing for medical technology applications Individual parts starting with lot 1 Integration of functions Reduction of parts Customer specific implants Single use applications ISO 10093 tested materials X-ray detectable materials Additive Manufacturing for aerospace applications FIELDS OF APPLICATIONS Additive manufacturing is especially suitable for individualised parts. For lightweight construction lattice and honeycomb structures can easily be erected. The topology can be improved by adapting the geometry to the flow of forces in the part and the load of it. In rapid prototype production view and function samples significantly reduce the development time leading up to series production. Parts for the aftermarket do not have to be produced on stock and stored, but can instead be produced in short terms according to requirements. Parts can be individualised according to customer or application requirements. Fashion and lifestyle products, as well as automotive parts can be produced exclusively. Freeforming permits extravagant designs. Application examples Lightweight strut made of TECAFIL PEEK natural, 3D printed and machined The honeycomb structure can be covered with 3D printing from both sides. This is not possible with other methods (compared to CNC milling and injection molding). Significant weight reduction Constant stability Gear wheel made from TECAFIL PVDF natural, 3D printed and machined Material savings (compared to CNC milling) Time savings: complex preparations are not requiered Good sliding and wear properties Guiding 3D print and machined made of TECASON P natural Combination of additive and subtractive production processes Lightweight construction: Weight reduction by hollow-chamber structures (aerospace) High precision through manufacturing of functional surfaces, fits and threads by machining High stiffness and strength CONTACT CONTACT FORM Niclas Marquardt Ensinger GmbH Rudolf-Diesel-Straße 8 71154 Nufringen Germany niclas.marquardt@ensingerplastics.com Phone +49 7032 819 754 Mobile +49 151 62834187 Dilara Yüce Ensinger GmbH Rudolf-Diesel-Straße 8 71154 Nufringen Germany dilara.yuece@ensingerplastics.com Phone +49 7032 819 218 Marius Graf Ensinger GmbH Rudolf-Diesel-Straße 8 71154 Nufringen Germany marius.graf@ensingerplastics.com Phone +49 7032 819 410 Mobile +49 175 8845605 DOWNLOADS DOWNLOAD DATASHEETS Additive manufacturing: TECAFIL – filaments for 3D printing You can obtain filaments made from high-temperature, engineering and standard plastics with very narrow tolerances for your 3D printing – either as standard materials or tailored individually to your requirements.
