General Information
Product Description
Ingeo 3D870 is a grade developed for manufacturing 3D printer monofilament. Engineered to deliver improved heat-resistance and high impact strength to 3D printed parts, this formulated grade achieves thermal and mechanical properties similar to ABS while offering an alternative to styrenic-based materials. Monofilaments made with Ingeo 3D870 provide excellent 3D printing characteristics such as precise detail, good adhesion to build plates, less warping or curling, and low odor.
