Flame-Retardant 3D Printing in Easton, PA: V-0 Grade Filaments

Flame-retardant filaments are formulated to self-extinguish. The filament carries a V-0 rating from its maker, which is what electronics and equipment enclosures often call for.

Where it earns its keep

• Enclosures and covers for power electronics, chargers, and controllers.

• Housings for prototypes that will go through a design review where a flame rating on the material is requested.

• Mounts and brackets near heaters, power supplies, and battery packs.

• Internal spacers, cable guides, and barriers in equipment where a flame-rated material is preferred.

Honest limits

The V-0 rating belongs to the filament as tested by its maker, under specific conditions. The printed part is not certified and we do not claim it is. If a customer or a code requires a certified part, we will tell you that this is not the route.
