PCTPE stands for “Plasticized Copolyamide TPE” or a chemical co-polymer of highly flexible nylon and TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) .\u00a0 PCTPE has several unique features that allow any user to print a highly flexible part with the added durability of our nylon polymers.\u00a0 This combination of polymers was developed specifically to allow anyone using current FFF 3D Printers to print parts from durable\u00a0prosthesis\u00a0to complete cosplay wearable outfits, cell phone enclosures as well as highly flexible utility\/industrial parts.\u00a0 The flexibility of PCTPE means that the\u00a0end parts will have the smooth lustrous texture of nylon, the added flexibility offered by a rubber like TPE, yet maintain the high durability and non-delaminating benefits of all taulman3D Printing materials.<\/span><\/p>\n Proven performance = Tested worldwide by the 3D Printing community – summer of 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n Prints on Bowden’s or direct drive extruder. = From 1.75mm SeeMECNC “MAX” Bowden\u00a0to LULZBOT “TAZ” direct drive.<\/span><\/p>\n Print temperature = 235C – 242C<\/span><\/p>\n Low shrinkage = prints on glass with a 50% water\/PVA glaze heated to 40C<\/span><\/p>\n Super Layer to layer bonding that allows for single perimeter walls to be folded along thread axis.<\/span><\/p>\n Takes on any acid based color dye (RITT) very fast = 5 min @ 140F<\/span><\/p>\n Takes on acid based antimicrobial coatings for footwear and\u00a0prosthetic.<\/span><\/p>\n Color = Bright White\/reflective Nylon surface<\/span><\/p>\n \u200bTensile PSI = 5,043<\/span><\/p>\n Modulus PSI = 10,954<\/span><\/p>\n \u200bElongation @ Break = 497%+<\/span><\/p>\n Development Goals:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Flexibility<\/strong>\u00a0– As some users have experienced difficulties with 1.75mm flexible materials, we have worked with our manufacturer to perform an added “draw” process.\u00a0 A process that actually stretches the material during the final mfg stage.\u00a0 This is a similar process used to make large nylon rope for cruise ship docking maintenance.\u00a0 This added stretch increases the tensile properties of the raw 1.75mm and 2.85mm line such that the tendency to fold or buckle is eliminated.\u00a0 Some of our testers remarked that the raw line was actually stiffer than printed parts!\u00a0 This additional process allowed us to increase the percentage of TPE resulting in a material that gives the user a wide range of design flexibility based mostly on the nozzle size, number of perimeters and percentage of internal fill used during slicing.\u00a0 From thin parts that wad up like thin paper to thicker shoe soles with just the right flexibility, PCTPE is an easy-to-print material meeting a long list of requirements from users.<\/span><\/p>\n Super layer to layer Bonding<\/strong>\u00a0– PCTPE ensures that you do not need to use an enclosure just to get excellent layer bonding of parts from 100mm to 1,000mm+.\u00a0 With PCTPE the layer bonding will allow you to print single perimeter walls and bend or fold\u00a0 along the printed axis without delamination or separation.<\/span><\/p>\n Wearable Texture<\/strong>\u00a0– As nylon is known to be a comfortable material to the touch, we made sure that the 3D Printed texture of PCTPE was just as smooth to the touch as any wearable nylon.\u00a0 This lustrous texture is key to making new wearable objects that flow with body movements.\u00a0 In addition to the lustrous texture, the flexibility of PCTPE is more accommodating for complex wearable designs.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Technical Data Sheet : Technical Data Sheet is attached below.
