Suprem SA (Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland), offering 35 years of experience in developing and manufacturing products for additive manufacturing (AM), is launching a new brand, Filaprem, for continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics for 3D printing. Filaprem materials are said to be tailored to replace steel, titanium or aluminum alloys with composites, and to locally strengthen plastics for lighter, stronger parts.
Suprem points to Filaprem’s high quality, exceptional fiber/matrix distribution and low porosity, all of which enable printed parts with low downtime and minimal scrap. High mechanical performance and enhanced temperature resistance are also features mentioned by the company. Further, Dr. Anatole Gilliot, CEO, says the Filaprem brand opens new opportunities for the design of small, complex parts, as well as remote, automated manufacturing.
Suprem’s materials can be applied in various applications from marine to space end markets.
