Welcome to Hyrel!

With literally thousands of materials to print on the Hyrel Printer, we have broken down the list of materials into logical groups based on their printing temperature and type of head used to print them.

If you are planning on using the heads which photoinitiate crosslinking, make sure you specify the correct wavelength of LED for your material.

A standard material printing data sheet has been created for materials that have been internally tested; you can access this data by clicking on the material name below.

Printers

As of Jan, 2016, Hyrel Printers are available in two models: Engines and Systems.

Engines and Systems

Engines are open-air models. Detailed information is on the Engines page. Systems are enclosed models. Detailed information is on the Systems page. Both models feature over 200x200x200mm of build volume. Each model can take up to four of our modular heads detailed below. Build plates will get to between 70°C and 85°C, depending on ambient temperature.

The Next Big Thing

Cold Flow

Cold Flow is our term for fluid or emulsified (non-filament-based) materials which are deposited at room temperature, with or without UV Crosslinking.

Materials, Cold Flow

The following materials can be printed from Cold Flow heads. Note that more viscous materials may not be suitable for plastic syringes or smaller luer tips.

Heads, Cold Flow

The following table compares the properties of the various Cold Flow heads:

Cold Flow Head Properties
Head Container Capacity Nozzle UV Crosslinking
EMO-25 Aluminum 25cc 1.5mm, 2.0mm, Luer No
COD-25 Aluminum 25cc Luer Yes
SDS-5 Syringe 05cc Luer No
CSD-5 Syringe 05cc Luer Yes
SDS-10 Syringe 10cc Luer No
CSD-10 Syringe 10cc Luer Yes
SDS-30 Syringe 30cc Luer No
CSD-30 Syringe 30cc Luer Yes
SDS-60 Syringe 60cc Luer No

Warm Flow

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, 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, Warm Flow

The following table compares the properties of the various Warm Flow heads:

Warm Flow Head Properties
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

Hot Flow

Hot Flow is our term for filament-based materials which are deposited at up to 450°C, depending on the head. As of January, 2016, our Hot Flow heads are only for 1.75mm filaments.

Materials, Hot Flow

The following materials can be printed from Hot Flow heads. Note that depending on the characteristics of your material, one head will be a better match than the others. See the "Recommended For" column in the table below.

Heads, Hot Flow
