Extrusion Notes
Chamber/Build-Space Temperature: Not less than 150°C Bed Temperature: >150°C Best results may be expected from elevated build-space temperatures and are machine specific. Results vary widely from machine to machine. Important notes: i. Example values only, not product specification. ii. Limited data of material properties via filament extrusion, values sourced in dedicated technical literature iii. Data are generated in accordance with prevailing national, international and internal standards, and should be used for material comparison. Actual property values are highly dependent on part geometry, equipment configuration, extrusion deposition strategy and processing conditions. Properties may also differ for along flow and across flow directions and from different printers technologies and manufacturers.
