FDM Material Families
Gramm GmbH processes engineering thermoplastics for industrial FDM contract manufacturing in Deggendorf, Lower Bavaria, grouped into five families: Technical, Engineering, Flexible, Reinforced and Special. Available grades include PLA and PETG, polycarbonate PC and flame-retardant PC-FR, ESD-safe PETG-ESD, carbon fibre reinforced ABS-CF, ASA-CF and PPA-CF, glass fibre reinforced PA6-GF, and flexible TPU in 65, 64D, 82A and 95A. Material selection is part of the engineering review included in every order.
Material Family Overview
Materials
Our material portfolio is focused on functional 3D printing filaments. The table below lists our most popular materials and outlines typical mechanical and thermal properties to support application based material selection.
Material | Rigidity | Heat Resistance | Flexibility | Key Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ABS | Medium-High | ~90-100 | Low | Impact resistant, Suitable for functional parts, Requires controlled printing |
ASA | Medium-High | ~95-105 | Low | UV and weather resistant, Outdoor suitable, Better stability than ABS |
TPU | Low | ~80-100 | High | Flexible and elastic, Abrasion resistant, Available in shore hardness |
PLA | High (Stiff) | ~55-60 | Very Low | Easy to print, Good, Dimensional accuracy, Not suitable for Heat and Load |
PETG | Medium | ~70-80 | Low | Tougher than PLA, Chemical and moisture resistant, Good for enclosures |
In addition to the materials listed above, we also offer many other engineering materials upon request. We can also work with a specific brand and type of feedstock, as long as it is available with a 1.75mm filament diameter.
Which thermoplastic materials are available for industrial FDM contract manufacturing?
Gramm GmbH processes 13 engineering thermoplastics for industrial FDM contract manufacturing in Deggendorf, Germany, grouped into five families. Technical: PLA, PETG. Engineering: PC. Flexible: TPU-82A, TPU-64D, TPU-65, TPU-95A. Reinforced: ASA-CF, ABS-CF, PA6-GF, PPA-CF. Special: PC-FR (flame-retardant) and PETG-ESD (ESD-safe). Material selection is part of the engineering review included with every order, so the choice is matched to the load, temperature and environment of your part.
Where can I get carbon fibre reinforced FDM parts manufactured in Germany?
Gramm GmbH manufactures carbon fibre reinforced FDM parts in Germany from its Deggendorf site. Three carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastics are available - ASA-CF, ABS-CF and PPA-CF - alongside the glass fibre reinforced PA6-GF. Reinforced materials are chosen where a part needs higher stiffness than an unfilled thermoplastic provides. Because fibre reinforcement changes how a part behaves along and across the layers, orientation is reviewed before production. Parts are produced under ISO 9001 certified quality management, from a single part to series production.
