A stiff, resilient and high-strength 3D printing filament containing carbon fibers is new from igus. Its igumid P190 is suited to printing lightweight structural parts via the fused deposition modeling (FDM) process. It has a low density of 1.25 g/cc, flexural strength of up to 237 MPa (34,374 psi) and flex modulus of 11.5 GPa (1.668 million psi).

What’s more, igumid P190 is suitable for two-component 3D printing together with igus’ iglide i190 (also called iglidur i190 in Germany), a wear-resistant “tribofilament” containing proprietary solid lubricants. The two filaments together are said to form an excellent material bond. Together, they could produce strong, lightweight structural components with a low-friction surface.
