PCL filament

PCL filament is a printing material, technically called polycaprolactone, designed for FDM 3D printing technology, which is printing by sequential deposition of molten material. Its main characteristic is its very low melting temperature, which is around 60 °C. This characteristic makes it safer to work with, as it does not require high printing nozzle temperatures and dispenses with the heated pad. A unique capability of PCL is its formability after printing. The finished print can be immersed in hot water at a temperature slightly above 60 °C, which softens the material and makes it pliable, similar to modelling compound. After cooling, it solidifies again and retains its new shape. This process, called 'thermoforming', allows for easy repairs, smoothing of the surface or joining of multiple parts without glue. From a mechanical point of view, PCL filament is not very strong or rigid and is therefore not suitable for the production of stressed functional parts. It is rather tough. Due to its low heat resistance, it is also not recommended for objects that will be exposed to higher temperatures. The material is biodegradable, which means that it can decompose over time under specific conditions. It is mainly used in prototyping, education, art and as a filler for 3D pens.
