UPM Formi 3D printing products

UPM Formi 3D printing products combine the best characteristics of cellulose fibres and native PLA plastic for additive manufacturing. Light colours, a natural touch, fine details and good processability are all achieved with UPM Formi 3D.

UPM Formi 3D product features

Processing

UPM Formi 3D granules are easy to process in extrusion due to good melt strength and dimensional stability. UPM Formi 3D can be blended with native PLA plastic.

Large scale additive manufacturing

Optimal for large scale additive manufacturing due to controlled molten stage properties and improved first layer adhesion.

UPM Formi 3D grades are safe and easy to print in open athmosphere.

Architecture

Light colors with matte surface texture due to pure lignin free cellulose fibers make UPM Formi 3D ideal material for architecture concept models.

Typical end user applications
