Dr. Natalie Rudolph discusses why there are different printing temperatures for one material (e.g., ABS or PLA), which you bought from different filament suppliers. She shares insights into the detection of the melting and softening properties of filaments with analytical instruments and gives tips on how home users of 3D printers can use this knowledge.
Filler type, filler content and filler orientation: everything plays a role when it comes to tailoring thermal conductivity of polymers for specific applications, such as in the well-known field of Metal Replacement. Read how our customer DOMO Engineering Materials uses our instrument to research conductive raw materials.
Today, we answer the question if ABS filament absorbs water from the humidity in the air. Dr. Natalie Ruldolph explains why different plastics react differently to humidity in the environment and gives advice on what home users can do about it.
The ongoing pandemic poses major challenges for many employers in the administrative districts around the headquarters of NETZSCH Analyzing Testing in Selb, Germany. NETZSCH Analyzing & Testing is happy to support the initiative of the districts. Learn more!
Die anhaltende Corona-Pandemie stellt viele Arbeitgeber in den Landkreisen Wunsiedel und Hof vor große Herausforderungen. Die NETZSCH-Gerätebau GmbH unterstützt eine Initiative der Landkreise gerne. Erfahren Sie mehr im Artikel!
The plastics used in Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) have a higher thermal expansion when compared with other materials. Therefore, it is important to know how the dimensions of an SLS part change at different temperatures during the build and during use. The higher the thermal expansion coefficient, the more prone are the parts to warpage or curling and the build-up of residual stresses. Learn more!
Das geforderte mechanische und dielektrische Eigenschaftsprofil von Elastomerwerkstoffen wird durch die Auswahl des geeigneten Polymers, Füllstoffs und der Additive für den Anwendungsbereich erreicht. Während ihrer Lebensdauer unterliegen elastomere Werkstoffe in Reifen-, Dichtungs- und Automobilanwendungen einer ständigen Veränderung. Lesen Sie mehr über die Möglichkeit zur Überwachung der mechanischen Eigenschaften von Elastomerwerkstoffe während der Anwendung.
If the extraordinary events of 2020 have taught us anything, it is that collaboration and teamwork are the best foundation for success. That is why we, NETZSCH Analyzing & Testing, and the NETZSCH Group, are pleased to be stepping up our cooperation with Malvern Panalytical.

We took your questions related to common 3D printing issues and categorized them into what we call 3D printing myths – common concerns and sometimes misconceptions of this industry. Today, Dr. Natalie Rudolph explains how analytical devices can detect and identify the volatiles in such fumes released during 3D printing and gives important tips on what to pay attention to when printing with a 3D printer at home.
This year, NETZSCH will again participate in various round robin tests. Learn more about why round robin tests can be interesting for you and how you can participate in the round robin tests of the Kunststoff-Institut Lüdenscheid in Germany.
