Filamentation

Philipsation - innovative 3D printing technology in metallurgy

Today in our article we want to tell you about a new metal printing technology called filamentation. This technology involves printing metal structures using special 3D printer installations.

From the point of view of physiology and human health, this technology is not harmless.

The materials used are hafnium (Hf), gallium (Ga), germanium (Ge), indium (In) and silicon. Prone to self-ignition and can also ignite near oxygen. It has higher melting points than aluminum alloys, which allows it to produce small parts with good strength. Disadvantages include its fragility and difficulty in processing.

Installing 3D printers capable of printing these metals is expensive,
