High-strength filament for structural components or as a material partner for multi-material components

igumid P190 is an extremely strong and stiff 3D printed filament due to the reinforcement with carbon fibre. It was specially developed as a partner material for iglidur i190 for the production of very strong and at the same time friction-optimised components in multi-material printing. Furthermore, it can be used for printing stable structural components. Thanks to the high strength and high rigidity, as well as its low density of 1.25g/cm³, igumid P190 is ideal for lightweight construction with low material requirements. 

Because of the abrasive fibres, the used printer to process the filament should have a wear-resistant (for example hardened) nozzle and extruder pinion. The Pegamento para filamentos optimizados can be used for better adhesion to the printing plate. The filament is very sensitive to moisture and should be stored in a drying container and actively dried regularly.

igumid P190 can be purchased as filament for processing with your own printer or ordered at Servicio de impresión 3D online via STEP file as a stand-alone component or as a 2K component in combination with iglidur i190. Further information on our in-house multi-material 3D printing service with igumid P190 and other filaments can be found here: impresión 3D multimaterial 

When to use it?

• For structural components where high strength and stiffness are required
• For special mounting brackets for energy chains
• As a multi-material partner with iglidur i190, for the combination of a high-strength material (igumid P190) and a particularly durable plastic (iglidur i190)

When not to use it?

• For friction and wear applications (→ filamento iglidur I150 or filamento iglidur I180 or iglidur i190)
• If the application requires a food-grade material (→ filamento iglidur I150 or iglidur I151-PF or iglidur A350-PF)
• If the application temperature is higher than 120°C in the long term (→ iglidur A350-PF or filamento iglidur RW370)
