Rapid 3DShield Boron Carbide Filament

Rapid 3DShield Boron Carbide 3D Printing Filament is available as 1.75mm and 2.85mm filament and as pellets.

1.75mm Backordered

Specs: This filament comes in 0.25kg and 0.5kg spools. It contains 50% - 60% ceramic and has a density of 1.3 - 1.5g/cc.

High Compatibility: This Filament enables any open-architecture Fused Filament Fabrication 3D printer to produce metal objects. Even works in 3D printing pens!

Easy to Print: All you need is an open architecture 3D printer, a 0.6mm hardened steel nozzle, a Filawarmer,  and a model to print. Print like regular PLA. Place your spool so that the filament coming off is going straight into the extruder. The flow rate in your slicer may need to be adjusted up to 135%. Little to no warping occurs during printing.

Advanced Properties: This material is less hygroscopic than regular PLA. Filament dryers have adverse effects on this material. Spools should not be dried.

Special Qualities: Can be used for neutron absorption with no sintering required.

Used For: Partner Innovators have used this filament for neutron absorption and research.

Eliminate tooling and machining costs for short run manufacturing, prototyping, and one-off metal part needs.
