Sumitomo and Gutenberg: LCP Filament for Engineering FFF

1 min read

Printable liquid-crystal polymer filament may open new options for heat-resistant, dimensionally stable parts.

Material and processing

Molecular orientation and interlayer bonding are key issues in processing LCP. The partners are developing the material and printing process together.

Applications

Target applications include semiconductor, robotics and communications components.

What to watch

Manufacturer mechanical comparisons depend on specific test conditions; real-part behavior requires separate validation.
