High-strength filament for structural components or as a material partner for multi-material components

igumid P190 is an extremely strong and stiff 3D printed filament due to the reinforcement with carbon fibre. It was specially developed as a partner material for iglidur i190 for the production of very strong and at the same time friction-optimised components in multi-material printing. Furthermore, it can be used for printing stable structural components. Thanks to the high strength and high rigidity, as well as its low density of 1.25g/cm³, igumid P190 is ideal for lightweight construction with low material requirements. 

Because of the abrasive fibres, the used printer to process the filament should have a wear-resistant (for example hardened) nozzle and extruder pinion. The Hechtmiddel voor tribo-filamenten can be used for better adhesion to the printing plate. The filament is very sensitive to moisture and should be stored in a drying container and actively dried regularly.

igumid P190 can be purchased as filament for processing with your own printer or ordered at Online 3D printservice via STEP file as a stand-alone component or as a 2K component in combination with iglidur i190. Further information on our in-house multi-material 3D printing service with igumid P190 and other filaments can be found here: Multi-materiaal 3D printen 

When to use it?

• For structural components where high strength and stiffness are required
• For special mounting brackets for energy chains
• As a multi-material partner with iglidur i190, for the combination of a high-strength material (igumid P190) and a particularly durable plastic (iglidur i190)

When not to use it?

• For friction and wear applications (→ iglidur I150-PF or iglidur I180-PF or iglidur i190)
• If the application requires a food-grade material (→ iglidur I150-PF or iglidur I151-PF or iglidur A350-PF)
• If the application temperature is higher than 120°C in the long term (→ iglidur A350-PF or iglidur RW370-PF)
