Grade List

3D filament grade list

XYRON™ -3D FILAMENT is a filament product for 3D printers based on Asahi Kasei 's modified PPE resin.
We offer a lineup of grades that combine modified PPE with two types of resin (PS, PA) and fillers.
Thermylene®External Sites 3D Filaments is a filament product for 3D printers based on glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP) composite material.
