High Carbon Iron Filamet™ prints iron parts on an open-architecture FFF/FDM printer. It is highly ferromagnetic both before and after sintering, which makes it the pick for electromagnetic and magnetic projects.

Specifications

  • Metal content: 75.0%–80.0% iron
  • Filament density: 2.90–3.85 g/cc
  • Formats: 1.75mm and 2.85mm spools, and pellets (pick in the variant selector)
  • Nozzle: 1.0mm hardened steel, standard flow (0.8mm will generally work)

Printing

  • Prints similar to PLA with minimal to no warping
  • Feed the filament straight into the extruder
  • Do not dry it: drying degrades the binder

Sintering

The part can be fired to become 100% metal, but sintering trials have not been conducted on this product and The Virtual Foundry does not offer debinding or sintering support for it.

Applications

  • Electromagnetic and magnetic components
  • Prototypes and functional parts

About this product

Will it print on my printer?
Filamet works on nearly all open-architecture FFF/FDM printers. Swap in a hardened steel nozzle (the size is in the specifications above) and print it like PLA. Not sure about your model? Email us the printer name and we'll check before you buy.
Which nozzle does it need?
A 1.0mm hardened steel standard-flow nozzle; 0.8mm will generally work. That is coarser than the other Filamet grades.
Is it magnetic?
Yes. High Carbon Iron Filamet is highly ferromagnetic both before and after sintering, which suits electromagnetic and magnetic projects.
Does The Virtual Foundry support sintering this filament?
No. They do not offer debinding or sintering support for this filament, so treat sintering as experimental and expect to work out the process yourself.
