Royal DSM has developed a new, glass-filled polypropylene (PP) pellet material for 3D printing, enabling consistent production of structural and demanding applications using fused granulate fabrication (FGF) technology.

Arnilene AM6001 GF (G) is made of the same base material used in high-volume production and optimized for FGF 3D printing. The material is suitable for direct printing of structural, lightweight applications for automotive, infrastructure, and water management, as well as tooling.

The company has validated the material on closed- and open-chamber build printers. It offers reduced energy consumption and a low life cycle assessment.
