Product Details, Specifications, and Technical Information

Rapid 3DShield Tungsten Filament is available as 1.75mm and 2.85mm filament and as pellets. Specs: This filament comes in 0.5kg and 1kg spools and 1kg bags of pellets. It contains 91.0% - 93.0% metal and has a density of 7.8g/cc. High Compatibility: This Filament™ enables any open-architecture Fused Filament Fabrication 3D printer to produce metal objects. Even works in 3D printing pens! Easy to Print: All you need is an open architecture 3D printer, a 0.6mm hardened steel nozzle, and a model to print. Print like regular PLA. Place your spool so that the filament coming off is going straight into the extruder. The flow rate in your slicer may need to be adjusted up to 135%. Little to no warping occurs during printing. Print this test model to ensure you're getting the highest density you can. The model should weigh 5.5g or more. Advanced Properties: Filament™ is less hygroscopic than regular PLA. Filament dryers have adverse affects on Filament™. Spools should not be dried. Special Qualities: Can be used as a replacement for lead for radiation shielding with no sintering required.

Eliminate tooling and machining costs for short run manufacturing, prototyping, and one-off metal part needs. Note: All sales final except in cases of defective product. Made In America
