SOME INFOMATION ABOUT THE MATERIAL
Glassbend filament is a new material that is designed to be strong, flexible and easy to print. These characteristics, together with the high degree of gloss, very low water absorption, practically no shrinkage or warping, very good interlayer adhesion and flame retardant properties make it a very special filament.
Glassbend is perfect for applications where strength, flexibility and ease of printing are important. For example, you can use it to create strong, flexible parts for drones or other aircraft. You can also use it to create flexible seals or gaskets.
If you are looking for a 3D printing material that is strong, flexible and easy to print, then Glassbend is the perfect choice for you. The discovery of glassbend was a happy accident. A team of scientists were working on a new type of polymer that would be strong and flexible. They were using a new printing technology that allowed for very precise control over the composition of the polymer.
One day, one of the scientists accidentally dropped a beaker of the polymer solution. The beaker shattered, but the liquid inside remained intact. The scientist noticed that the liquid had formed a clear, strong sheet.
The team was excited by the discovery and began to experiment with the new material. They found that it was easy to print with and had many useful properties. Glassbend was strong, flexible, and had a high degree of gloss. It was also flame retardant and had very low water absorption.
The team was thrilled with their discovery and began to mass produce glassbend. It quickly became popular for use in 3D printing. Today, glassbend is used in a variety of applications, from engineering to fashion.
92% light transmission, so very bright
Strong and flexible
Very good interlayer adhesion
No ’wit-print’ at bow
Food Contact Acceptable
Almost no ”warping"
Recommended temperature for heated bed is ± 70-90˚C. Adhesion is possible on different surfaces.
GLASSBEND can be used on all common desktop FDM or FFF technology 3D printers.
Storage: Cool and dry (15-25˚C) and away from UV light. This enhances the shelf life significantly
