Warm Flow is our term for fluid or emulsified (non-filament-based) materials which are deposited at up to 150°C, with or without UV Crosslinking, depending on the head.
PCL and other medium temperature material can be printed directly from Pellets the size of small peas. If you pulverize or powder your polymer, it is possible to pre-mix the material dry and test different alloys of plastics.
Materials for Warm Flow
The following materials can be printed from Warm Flow heads. Note that more viscous materials may not be suitable for plastic syringes or smaller luer tips, or may print more easily at higher temperatures.
Heads for Warm Flow
Warm Flow is available through the following heads:
The following table compares the properties of the various Warm Flow heads:
| Head | Max Temp | Container | Capacity | Nozzle | UV Crosslinking |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VOL-25 | 100°C | Aluminum | 25cc | 1.5mm, 2.0mm, Luer | No |
| VCD-25 | 100°C | Aluminum | 25cc | Luer | Yes |
| KRA-15 | 150°C | Stainless | 15cc | 1.5mm, 2mm, Luer | No |
| KCD-15 | 150°C | Stainless | 15cc | Luer | Yes |
