3D printing fiber manufacturer Taulman3D closely monitors customer feedback and releases filaments with different benefits every year. The latest addition to the company's portfolio is guidel! Ne, which has been developed specifically for the medical field. It is ISO 10993 material and has received FDA approval. It was created to make biocompatible 3D printed medical devices, including surgical instruments and even implants.
So guidel! Ne is a transparent, high strength PETG (polyethylene terephthalate) -based material with a very high melting point. Thanks to its unique temperature profile, guidel! Ne can maintain its shape without deformation. Users can also print thin-walled waterproof tubes from it.
When it comes to medical applications, guidel! Ne has every chance of success.
First and foremost, guidel! Ne has already received FDA approval, which means it is a great option for people and companies looking to get FDA / CE certification to make a 3D printed medical device.
However, Taulman3D points out that although the filament has received FDA approval, this does not mean that a device made from it will also receive FDA approval. The fact is that the process of certification of medical or surgical equipment takes place at the stage of manufacturing and testing and requires close attention.
However, they argue that using guidel! Ne will help ease this process, as this filament is already on the FDA list, which means it will be much easier for designers and engineers to get certified for equipment made from it.
The second advantage of guidel! Ne is its high melting point, i.e. this filament can be an excellent supporting material for medical Nylon, because it adheres quite well and is relatively easy to remove after printing.
Guidel! Ne features:
- Tensile Strength: 6,850 PSI
- Elongation: 5.9 at 281.469 PSI
- Deformation temperature: 70 ° C
- Softening point: 100 ° C
- Printing temperature: 250 ° C
Guidl! Ne is already in the Taulman3D store. The fiber will be available in 450-gram spools with filament thicknesses of 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm. Each reel will come with an ID number and a group encryption key.
