High Temperature 3D Printing
High Temperature Materials. Tougher Applications.
At BOGEYMAN, we offer 3D printing using high-temperature and engineering-grade filaments for applications where standard PLA simply isn't suitable.
Using our Creality CR-5 Pro H, we can produce functional components from materials designed to withstand higher temperatures and more demanding environments.
The CR-5 Pro H has a 300 × 225 × 300 mm build volume, giving us plenty of capacity for larger engineering components, prototypes, enclosures and functional parts.
Whether you're producing a functional engineering component, replacement part, prototype, bracket, enclosure or bespoke component, we can help select the right material for the job.
Creality CR-5 Pro H — Key Specification
Build volume: 300 × 225 × 300 mm
This means we can produce components up to 300 mm high, 300 mm wide and 225 mm deep, subject to the geometry and orientation of the individual part.
When Standard PLA Isn't Enough
PLA is an excellent material for many applications, but it isn't designed for prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
If your component is going to be exposed to heat, mechanical stress, outdoor conditions or demanding working environments, a more suitable engineering filament may be required.
High-temperature materials can offer improved:
- Heat resistance
- Mechanical strength
- Dimensional stability
- Chemical resistance
- Long-term durability
- Resistance to deformation under heat
The correct material will depend on the environment and what the finished component needs to do.
High Temperature Filaments
Depending on the requirements of your project, we can work with a range of engineering and higher-temperature materials.
These can include materials such as:
ASA
A popular choice for functional components requiring good UV resistance, weather resistance and temperature performance.
ASA can be particularly useful for outdoor applications where standard PLA may degrade over time.
ABS
ABS has been widely used for functional 3D printed components and offers better temperature resistance than PLA.
It can be suitable for engineering parts, housings, brackets and other functional applications where increased heat resistance is required.
PETG
PETG offers a useful balance of strength, durability and temperature resistance, making it suitable for many functional components.
It is often a good step up from PLA when a part needs to withstand more demanding conditions.
Engineering & Composite Materials
For more demanding applications, we can also look at reinforced and engineering-grade filaments, including carbon-fibre reinforced materials.
These materials can provide increased stiffness and strength, although they also require the correct printer setup, nozzle and printing parameters.
If you're unsure which material is suitable, tell us what the component needs to withstand and we'll help you choose.
Why Choose BOGEYMAN?
Our approach is different from simply uploading a file and pressing print.
We design and manufacture in-house.
That means we can assess your component, recommend a suitable material and optimise the print for its intended application.
We can consider:
- Operating temperature
- Mechanical loading
- Environmental conditions
- Required strength
- Flexibility
- UV and weather exposure
- Chemical exposure
- Dimensional accuracy
- Print orientation
- Layer height and infill
- Post-processing requirements
The result is a part designed and printed with its actual application in mind.
From Prototype to Production
High-temperature 3D printing isn't just for prototypes.
It can be used to manufacture one-off components, replacement parts, development prototypes and small production runs without the tooling costs associated with traditional manufacturing.
This makes 3D printing particularly useful when you need a small number of specialised components rather than thousands of identical parts.
Need a High Temperature Part Printed?
Already have an STL or 3D model?
Send it to us and we'll assess the design and material requirements.
Don't have a design?
We can also work from measurements, drawings, photographs or an existing component and help turn your idea into a printable design.
