Lehvoss, Ultimaker: Certified reproducible 3D printing

Commissioned by the Lehvoss Group and Ultimaker, TÜV Süd has certified the 3D printing process using the combination of Luvocom 3F Filament and Ultimaker printer. This comprised the material properties, production of the test specimen – including the dimensional tolerances, the manufacture of the filament and the printing process. In addition, the emissions were measured during the printing process. The companies said that the printing process meets the requirements drawn up by certification organisation in all aspects. The test specification “Reproducible 3DP construction process” makes reference to existing and emerging 3D printing standards. As a result, the Luvocom 3F Filament PAHT 9825 NT under test, an unreinforced PA, and the Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle are the world’s first system certified by TÜV Süd in the field of fused filament fabrication (FFF).

On the basis of its range of more than 30 materials for FFF to date, the Lehvoss Group is supplying four materials as its own filament. Work is underway on the certification of all four filament variants. The focus here is on the development, production and distribution of materials that can be marketed in filament form by well-known established manufacturers under their own brand names.
