Objects printed with Filaticum Foam (lightweight) have got a foamy, spongy texture. The hard 3D printed foam has open cell structure. Due to the foamed structure, the layers are barely visible, and it has a rogh, sandblasted-like surface, . However, it can be easily sanded, cut, painted and shaped as needed. The beige color variant looks natural and the black one has a particularly matte finish.

The structure of the foam, the quality and structure of the surface can be widely modified by changing the printing settings.

Objects with the required density and foam structure can be printed by setting the parameters accordingly.

• temperature: 190-250 ⁰C
• filament flow: 70-120 %
• nozzle size: 0.2-1 mm

At higher temperatures, lower flow and speed, and with a large nozzle the lightest foam can be produced. Using the standard PLA settings, the result is a tough foam and impact resistance. The density of an object made of Filaticum Foam is 50-60% of that of an object printed with standard PLA. Depending on the settings, it can be varied from 0.6 g / cm³ up to 1.2 g / cm³.

Filaticum Foam is suitable for applications where light 3D printed objects are needed, e.g. automotive industry, modelling or founding. Its foamed structure can be exploited in printing art objects, sculptures, and biologically active substrates.  It can be applied as support material also.
