BioMedical Filaments

  • 3D4Makers PCL 100 3D Printing Filament 1.75mm 750g

    Facilan™ PCL 100 is a highly functional filament made from polycaprolactone, perfect for advanced medical applications. It can be reshaped in water at 55 °C after 3D printing due to its low melting point. This material is widely used in the development of artificial tracheas, smart materials, tissue engineering scaffolds, bioabsorbable implants, and more. Renowned universities and research centers worldwide trust Facilan™ PCL 100 for cutting-edge bioprinting and personalized medical research. With its flexibility and toughness, this filament has a glass transition temperature of -60 °C and a print temperature of around 120 °C. Its semi-crystalline aliphatic biodegradable polyester composition gives it a distinctive white appearance. Complying with European regulations, the filament produced by 3D4Makers is safe for use with food contact. Additionally, it offers excellent adhesion between layers, enhancing impact resistance, strength, durability, and print quality.
  • 3D4Makers Ortho 3D Printing Filament 1.75mm 750g

    Facilan™ Ortho Filament is a 3D printing material specifically designed for orthopedic applications. It is a durable and flexible filament that offers exceptional mechanical properties, making it ideal for creating customized splints, braces, and other orthopedic devices. One of its unique features is its excellent adhesion to textiles, allowing easy combination and bonding with textile inserts or other shoe components. Additionally, the low melting point of Facilan™ Ortho enables it to be easily reshaped with warm water after 3D printing. Made from a unique blend of biocompatible polymers, this filament ensures patient comfort and excellent skin contact. Facilan™ Ortho Filament provides healthcare professionals with the ability to tailor orthopedic devices to individual patient needs, facilitating faster healing and recovery. With its high printability and compatibility with most desktop 3D printers, this innovative material is revolutionizing the orthopedic industry. Facilan™ Ortho is a versatile and high-quality polyester, known for its clean white appearance. It exhibits exceptional mechanical properties and has a density of about 1.2kg/cm3. With a melting point around 60°C, it is a safe and easy-to-print thermoplastic. The flexibility and toughness of Facilan™ Ortho, attributed to its glass transition temperature of -60°C, make it highly durable. Moreover, it is a biodegradable plastic, meeting compostability standards according to EN13432.
  • R-PEEK 3D Printer Filament

    This 3D4Makers PEEK filament is made in Netherlands using recycled PEEK. Recycled PEEK is generally made by collecting PEEK powder from CNC machine shops, which is then extruded into 3d printing filament. This means you get the exact same filament as normal PEEK, just being sourced sustainably because the powder that would have otherwise gone to waste has been reused to make filament. And, its half the price. PEEK handles continuous operating temperature of 260C & peak loading up to 320C. It has a strength to weight ration higher than Aluminum. And it has the resonance damping properties comparable to wood. Considered to be the best 3d printing material presently available in filament form. It is a natural beige peek product which will give you a base filament as close to natural peek machining block colour as possible. PEEK is the best material for anything functional & mechanical, that needs to perform as closely to a metal like aluminum as possible while still being a plastic that is 3d printable. So its the perfect choice for Gears, Screws, Cogs, even complex worm wheel assembly parts are fine. That includes Hinges & other loading applications. It is also ideal for electronics enclosures where the enclosure needs to offer electrical & heat insulation, strength, flame retardance & element resistance including wet or organic aqueous conditions. This makes it the ideal filament for medical applications like temporary implants, surgical guides, orthodontic reconstruction, maxillofacial surgery & many other use cases including aeronautical & aerospace. For demanding applications where all else would fail, PEEK is the KING of 3D printer materials. Strongest 3D Printing plastic available in 3d printing filament form. Handle up to 250C continuous operating temperature with Short term temperature performance up to 300 deg C. The most dense semi-crystalline polymer thats 3d printable, yet close enough to aluminium in many applications. Chemically resistant to most corrosive substances & high resistance to aqueous conditions. Used extensively in Aerospace & Automotive applications where you need mechanical strength even at high temperature. BioMedical material that can be used for the human body, dental implants, joint replacements, the list goes on. PEEK also has low resonance properties that are comparable to natural fibers such as wood, which is helpful when it comes to vibration & damping control. This reduces screws & fasteners loosening under load out of a peek enclosure. Since PEEK is expensive, we are offering small quantity rolls for our kiwi 3D makers who want to try this new cutting edge material. This is 0.2 KG of R PEEK 3D Printing Filament.
