Nano-Diamond Enhanced 3D printing material is now available earlier this year, the Finnish nano diamond manufacturer Carbodeon and the Netherlands 3D printing expert Tiamet 3D jointly developed a nano-diamond-enhanced 3D printing material: Udiamond. September 17, 2018, 3D Tiger from the foreign media learned that the 3D printing material has been listed. PLA 3D Printing materials based on nano-diamond can achieve faster 3D printing and improve mechanical durability of 3D printing parts.
Nano-diamond itself has the ability to shape the structure and properties of 3D printing materials.
Nano-Diamond Enhanced 3D printing material is now available In addition, nano-diamond improves the conductivity of PLA.
Carbodeon's tests show that using a consumer-grade 3D printer, the Udiamond material is also easy to print, and can improve printing speed up to a few mm/s, and print parts have better mechanical properties. Carbodeon CEO Vesamyllym?ki said: ' Udiamond materials will be sold in filament and granular form, while the Finnish Technical Research Center (VTT) has been a long-term and reliable partner.
' The Finnish Centre for Technical Research (VTT) will create Carbodeon's udiamond material for the production of PLA composites for 3D printing, which is optimized for homogeneous dispersion of nano-diamond in industrial scale.

' Using our chemical test equipment, we produced the nano-dispersed materials needed for melting processing in VTT to support the creation of new products, ' said Jarmo Ropponen, head of the VTT Chemistry Pilot Research Group. Nano-diamond is the diamond particles produced by explosions, and they are one of the most thermally conductive and hard materials known. Studies have shown that if inhaled nanoparticles have some health effects on the body, they can cause oxidative stress in the heart, lungs and brain. Processing in a well ventilated environment is a way to reduce risk.
According to EPA and reach assessment, Carbodeon's nano-diamond has been proven to be non-toxic and suitable for a wide range of applications. ' With the addition of nano-diamond, plastic melting has become easier and mechanical properties have improved, ' said VTT research scientist Satu Pasanen. ' Based on initial testing, the modulus of 3D printed test pieces can be increased by more than 200% compared to existing PLA materials on the market, Udiamond. At present, VTT has produced the first batch of 600 kilograms of material, carbodeon to improve it as a commercial product.
