Spanish company MyMat Solutions has released two new nylon-based 3D printer materials, Ultra Nylon and Soft Nylon, for durable, mechanically sound prototypes and end-use parts. With the polyamide-grade 3D printing filaments, MyMat seeks to improve FDM 3D printing applications in key industrial and consumption sectors such as the automotive and areospace industries.

Both filaments come in 1.75 mm and 3 mm rolls and boast versatility, strength, and improved mechanical properties that will reduce printing issues such as warping and curling. They offer universal compatibility, and are manufactured and tested in Spain. In order to make it even easier for consumers to improve their printing experience, MyMat has included detailed datasheets and printing guides for each product on their website.

MyMat Ultra Nylon 3D printer filament is carbon fiber reinforced and guarantees resistance to high temperatures (they recommend 260ºC hot end and 20-25ºC room temperature for bed), excellent mechanical and adhesion properties, and superior aesthetics. It is an industrial solution material that has broad applications in heavy-duty industries such as aerospace and automotive manufacturing.  

“The Ultra Nylon grade of MyMat Solutions generates solutions with high mechanical, wear resistance and thermal requirements,” said the company in a press release. Through collaborations with automotive OEM suppliers, they aim to supply near-end prototypes with aesthetic options, under the hood applications, and fixtures and joining elements. Their aim is to demonstrate the value of 3D printing in quickly developing new products and creating solutions that perfectly match the customer’s requirements.

The Soft Nylon 3D printer filament comes in a white/natural colour (as opposed to the Ultra Nylon which is black), and offers improved adhesion, flexibility, and a smooth, glossy finish that works well on mirror surfaces with with lacquer application. Again, they recommend temperatures of 260ºC for the hot end and 20-25ºC room temperature for bed.

MyMat Ultra Nylon currently retails for €78,65, and Soft Nylon for 66.55. Additionally, MyMat offers completely customized materials and volumes for customers in need of personalized service for special projects. “We are an industrial culture entity,” they wrote. “We know companies need ad-hoc solutions.”

MyMat Solutions is owned by Leartiker Polymer Institute, a part of the massive Mondragon Corporation, which employs more than 8000 people in Europe in finance, retail, and various industrial sectors. The MyMat team is particularly involved with enthusiastic about the maker movement, with a manifesto that includes points such as “if you do not have what you need, print it” and “everyone can create.”

In order to promote the functionality of their new materials, MyMat is searching for collaborations with companies from around the world in key application and consumption markets, and will be present at several industry events in the coming months including the New York Maker Faire, the TCT show, and Fakuma, the international trade fair for plastics processing in Friedschafen, Germany.
