Owens Corning, a leading glass fiber supplier, has developed XSTRAND™ fiberglass 3D printer filaments to meet manufacturing's demand for functional prototyping. Since XStrand Filaments are 30% glass fiber reinforced, they show superior strength properties.
For use in FFF / FDM 3D printers, the XSTRAND™ series "redefines the performance of additive manufacturing technologies" with strength and flexibility above carbon fiber filled ABS, PP and standard PA6.
