Stronger than steel polymers for 3D printing and fibers

[Brendon 🤘 @brendonbuilds]

The first successful mechanical print with @ZPolymersInc Tullomer. It's exceptionally rigid and should be functional (even with the minor crack from not fully clearing through-holes). Still needs more tuning but an effective application of lessons from yesterday.

Not just a 3D printing filament, but a fiber!

At Z-Polymers, we’re redefining possibilities with Tullomer™ Fiber, combining strength & versatility. Watch @joeltelling test its tensile strength vs stainless steel wire!

🔨 Let’s Talk About Failure... in Parts!

No matter how stiff a material is, understanding its failure mode is crucial.

Watch as @joeltelling tests brake levers made from PETG and Tullomer™ to their failure.

Great article in @All3DP magazine on how TCA portfolio company @ZPolymersInc is lowering tooling costs with its Tullomer 3D printing filament.

🔥 What’s UL94 V0? 🔥
It means a material stops burning within 10 seconds, with no flaming drips.

Tullomer™ extinguishes fast and chars with no drips of burning material.

Watch as @joeltelling & the Z-Polymers crew turn up the heat!

This was such a fun collab and a great introduction to our Tullomer material. Thanks @joeltelling ✋

Go check out the video and submit your applications to our Tullomer part challenge to win some filament. We want your great ideas!

Want a deep dive into to the science of @ZPolymersInc’s Tullomer?

Unicorn Filament?! https://t.co/CP4fi8Tgx0

You probably saw the video from @repkord at @RAPID_Event or you’ve seen @brendonbuilds doing CRAZY prints with it. Now get the science behind it!

[Z-Polymers Inc. @ZPolymersInc]

@joeltelling Thanks for visiting! We had a great time filming, talking, and showing off our facility, company, and material to you. Can't wait to see what you end up printing with Tullomer.

[Z-Polymers Inc. @ZPolymersInc]

It was great having @joeltelling visit Z-Polymers last week. We are excited for people to see the content we produced. Keep a look out, it will be coming out soon.

[Joel Telling - 3D Printing Nerd ✋ @joeltelling]

Spent the day with @ZPolymersInc and learned A TON. Filmed some epic things too!

[Peter Sassaman #TouchVR #SmellVR @PeterSassaman]

Doing some more testing with @ZPolymersInc Tullomer 🙂

[Peter Sassaman #TouchVR #SmellVR @PeterSassaman]

Printed one of the Gauntl33t glove finger pieces out of @ZPolymersInc Tullomer 🙂. Printed it at 1/4" thick because unlike aluminum it can't bend and risks snapping at 1/8". Probably should print another one to dip coat in alcohol thinned epoxy to mitigate any delamination that could occur over time. I also want to print the same part out of ABS and PLA to test stiffness against 🤔

[Peter Sassaman #TouchVR #SmellVR @PeterSassaman]

Time to try printing @ZPolymersInc Tullomer!!! 😃

Z-Polymers will be at the Massachusetts Manufacturing Mash-up hosted by Massachusetts Tech Collaborative.

Come visit our booth to check out some 3D printed parts and live printing of Tullomer™ at Gillette Stadium on September 25, 2024.

Tullomer Filament: Stronger and Lighter than Steel for Advanced 3D Printing https://t.co/QNEPNooaH1 #3DPrinting #AdditiveManufacturing

[Pooch @repkord]

Headed back down to the @Steve_Builds studio this afternoon to implement the @E3DOnline #REVO High Temp upgrade on my @Voron_Design TRIDENT 🔱 and get geared up to truly unlock the potential of @ZPolymersInc TULLOMER!

I think we should probably stream the whole ordeal. Who's in?

[Brendon 🤘 @brendonbuilds]

I have added a #tullomer profile to the mod0 repository; it is a work-in-progress, proceed with caution.

[Brendon 🤘 @brendonbuilds]

.... which transfer nicely to arbitrary models

[Brendon 🤘 @brendonbuilds]

These #tullomer settings transfer perfectly into @PrusaSlicer without spiral-vase mode

[Brendon 🤘 @brendonbuilds]

I've learned that the beige color may not be ideal; it sounds like an opaque whiter color is preferable. I'm also starting to better understand the extent of the shear thinning.

As pictured:

0.6mm nozzle
0.75mm width
0.01mm height
280c
180mm/s

strongest print yet?
