Material for high temperature applications

0
a
1

Hello, I would like to make a piece that is intended to fit into an industrial equipment where the temperature can reach up to 220-240 degrees Celsius. I wonder what is the cheapest 3D printing option for this piece, capable of withstanding these high temperatures for an extended period. Thank you

Hello adrimeca,

There is not a wide choice of 3D printing materials that can withstand such temperatures. Do you want to make a piece in plastic or metal? Here are some material suggestions that might work:

  • Plastics
    • ULTEM 1010 is probably the best option for plastic materials, with a temperature resistance up to 216°C. It is compatible with FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) 3D printing technology
    • CE 221 has an even higher resistance (over 220°C) but Carbon's DLS technology is still expensive, especially compared to FDM
  • Metals - I'd recommend the following materials for 3D metal printing (DMLS)
    • Aluminium AlSi10Mg
    • Stainless steel 316L
    • Inconel 718

I would say that aluminium AlSi10Mg remains the most viable option considering your requirements. I hope this answer will be useful to you!
