Avante, MatterHackers Partner for Advanced Grade Filament

Avante_logoHEYENNE, Wyoming, Sep 29, 2015 – Avante Technology has announced its partnership with Matterhackers to bring the FilaOne Advanced Composite Filament System to the 3D printing market.

This new proprietary material is stronger and more resilient than ABS and PLA, safer to use and easier to print with than Nylon, ABS or Polycarbonate. Plus, it does not require drying.

“You can create mechanically stronger, useful objects, similar to what can be done on industrial grade FDM printers,” said Robert Zollo, CEO and founder of Avante Technology. “Engineers and manufacturers now can use affordable desktop printers to create functional, working prototypes, sub-assemblies and even production parts for fast time-to-market, without spending tens of thousands of dollars on an industrial grade printer.”

The FilaOne Advanced Composite Filament System for Desktop 3D Printers provides stronger, more versatile printing through an integrated filament and printing platform sheet system formulated to work together for improved part adhesion during printing.

This system solves three common problems with current desktop 3D printers:

  • Improves the mechanical strength of the printed part
  • Minimizes the impact of humidity on the printing process
  • Improves the adhesion of the part during the printing process

Unlike ABS and nylon, which give off noxious, harmful gasses while printing, FilaOne GREEN is nearly odorless. It prints at 210º C and does not clog. The filament resists most acids and water, making it ideal for use on functional parts used outdoors or in a manufacturing environment.

FilaOne filaments are available in both 3.0 mm and 1.75 mm. A FilaOne Printing Adhesion Sheet is included with each reel of filament. Additional printing platform sheets are available separately.

Pricing and availability: Avante FilaOne products are available for sale at www.matterhackers.com.
