Albis Plastic (Hamburg / Germany; www.albis.com) has been appointed to distribute “Amphora” 3D Polymer AM1800 from Eastman Chemical (Kingsport, Tennessee / USA; www.eastman.com). The low-odour, styrene-free filament material for 3D printing applications offers high dimensional stability, low shrinkage, toughness and resistance to hydrolysis, the company said.

The material can be processed in most filament 3D printers – even at high printing speeds, thanks to its flow properties. The high layer-to-layer adhesion brings mechanical strength, so the grade can be used for both prototyping and production of functional parts. It conforms with food contact and medical product regulations of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as well as the equivalent food product regulations in the EU.
