Cincinnati Incorporated (CI), a U.S.-based, build-to-order machine tool manufacturer announced that its high-temperature Small Area Additive Manufacturing (SAAM HT) machine will now offer BASF 3DPS’s ABS plastic, carbon fiber PET and recycled PET materials.

Ultrafuse ABS is created from Acrylonitrile, Butadiene and Styrene polymers, and it’s the #2 most used 3D printing material. Reasons for its popularity include its strong, flexible and heat-resistant nature, plus its lightweight, abrasion resistance, and affordability. It suits applications needing low-cost prototypes or anyone who wants to create plastic products easily.

Ultrafuse PET CF15 from BASF 3DPS combines easy processability and low moisture uptake with excellent strength and rigidity. With this PET material, users can 3D print new components that stay functional under high mechanical and thermal loads. It’s suited for the automotive industry, jigs and fixtures, and any applications with humid operating environments.

Finally, the SAAM HT machine will also offer Ultrafuse rPET from BASF 3DPS. Nearly half of all total waste is generated by plastics, and 3D printing provides a big chance to add sustainability to manufacturing methods. This recycled PET looks and prints just like virgin material, and much like its PET alternative, rPET capably handles jig and fixture applications, automotive work and prototypes.

ABS, PET, and rPET will join ULTEM, PEEK, polycarbonate and any thermoplastic up to 500°C as material options on the SAAM HT.
