FAQ

INTAMSYS Solutions are “open” material systems meaning ones can use 3rd party filament if desired. If you choose to use a 3rd party filament you should know that you are assuming the responsibility of material tuning. Our filament profiles may be a good starting point for your material tune but it’s very unlikely that they will produce perfect results. This is because each chemical formulation of the material is slightly different and those differences in formulation require a different material tuning. If you are using a material type that does not exist in INTAMSYS portfolio, then you will need to obtain printing parameters from the filament manufacturer to begin to create your material tune and/or you can have a look at our CAEP, Customer Application Enabling Program page.
The benefit of using INTAMSYS branded material is that we have done this tuning work for you, so your prints reaches a high quality from the first time.
The INTAMSYS Support team is not able to aid in the creation of 3rd party material tunes.

All 3D printers of INTAMSYS support filament with 1.75mm diameter.

INTAMSYS high-performance plastics include PEEK,PEEK-CF (Carbon Fiber),PEEK-GF (Glass Fiber),PEKK,PEI 9085,PEI 1010,PPSU,PPS INTAMSYS engineering plastics include PC,PC-ABS,PC-FR (Fire Retardant),PC-PBT,PA6/66,PA12,PA6-CF (Carbon Fiber),PA12-CF (Carbon Fiber),ABS,ASA High-performance plastics are better than engineering plastics in terms of strength, thermostability, chemical resistance weatherability, etc., . They can be used instead of metal in certain application scenarios, meanwhile, their price will be higher. The suitable materialshould be selected based on specific scenarios. If there is a need for flame retardancy, biocompatibility, or electrical insulation for instance, you can choose the material with the corresponding characteristics. Do not hesitate to contact our technicians, they can also provide you advices on that.
