3D Filament PMMA - Polymethyl methacrylate
PMMA filament is characterized by its high dimensional stability and impact resistance, long durability, low flexibility and crystal-clear appearance. The material is light and durable. PMMA is a preferred plastic for professional applications such as prototype construction, in dentistry for the manufacture of prostheses, in the manufacture of jewelry and in model making. The material is up to 17 times more impact resistant than conventional glass. It also has a high resistance to yellowing, which otherwise often occurs with UV radiation. Ethanol, acetone and benzene attack PMMA, so acrylic glass surfaces must not be cleaned with alcohol or solvents. The filament is resistant to oils, fats and petrol. PMMA is soluble in acetone and can be smoothed with it during post-processing.
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a transparent thermoplastic material. It is produced by emulsion or bulk polymerization. PMMA is plastically deformable at over 100 °C, can be easily machined and is less sensitive to scratches than other thermoplastics. Connections are possible by welding and gluing. It transmits light better than mineral glass, absorbs UV light and is weather and aging resistant. The melting point of PMMA is around 140 °C to 160 °C, the continuous use temperature is -40 °C to 90 °C.
