Facilan™ PCL 100 Filament

1 of 4 products in this brand
Facilan™ PCL 100 Filament (polycaprolactone 100) is a polycaprolactone material used widely for research applications in biofabrication such as scaffolds, braces, implants, smart materials, hydrogels, tissue engineering and drug delivery. Polycaprolactone in is reported in research tough, strong, flexible, bioabsornanle, biocompatible and compostable. It is based on raw material complaint with European regulation EC No. 10/2011 concerning plastic materials and articles coming into contact with food. Recommended restrictions. Do not use in medical applications involving permanent implantation in the human body.

Additional info

For many 3D printers, Facilan™ PCL100 will print best at approximately 140°C with a bed temperature of 38°C and a speed of 30 mm/s. In designs with significant overhangs and bridges best results are obtained with fans at 100%. To get the best results while printing we advise you to keep the 3D printer in a room where there is hardly any draft and/or temperature fluctuations. Keep the 3D printer out of direct sunlight. When the 3D printer is not being used it is important to keep the 3D4Makers Facilan™ PCL 100 filament in a bag and stored in a cool, dry and dark place until it is used again.
