"Filamentive is pleased to announce our participation in The Ultimaker Material Alliance Program – a collaboration allowing filament companies to offer their products in Ultimaker Marketplace." - Bradford, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom – 21 August 2019
Four of Filamentive's 3D printing filaments – ASA, Carbon Fibre, PETg and PLA – have been added to the Ultimaker Marketplace. In-line with our production model and sustainability policy, the named materials feature high-percentage recycled content declared according to the standards of ISO 14021.
As such, these four products will be listed in the Ultimaker software and all 3D printing settings will be provided to make sure that they can together offer unprecedented hassle-free printing, first-time-right-printing and ease of use to joint end-users – substantially improving printing reliability and printing quality.
Ravi Toor, Managing Director at Filamentive: “Plastic waste is a global problem, and technology such as 3D printing has the power to facilitate sustainable development and resource efficiency. With more than 100,000 Ultimaker users in the professional market and 3 million Cura users worldwide, the availability of Filamentive material profiles will increase the awareness, credibility and ultimately use of recycled materials to further reduce the environmental impact of FFF 3D printing.”
