Xenia 3DF Materials for FFF Printing
Xenia is introducing new filament materials for fused filament fabrication.
Xenia Materials will present its new range of innovative and sustainable filaments for fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printing at Formnext 2024 in Frankfurt, Germany.
Xenia has expanded into the fused deposition modeling (FDM) and FFF 3D printing sector with the introduction of the 3DF Materials family of products, focused on creating high-performance filaments. According to Xenia, these filaments are designed for strength, lightweight, chemical resistance and sustainability.

3DF Materials by Xenia:
- Xecarb SL 3DF — Featuring a 100% bio-based PA11 polymer matrix reinforced with 15% carbon fiber, this filament offers exceptional strength and lightness. Incorporating Xenia's SuperLight technology, it reaches a density of 0.99 g/cm³, merging high performance with lightness.
- Xelight 3DF — Combining PEBA’s flexibility and impact resistance with Xenia's specialized engineering, the Xelight 3DF achieves a density value of 0.87 g/cm³. This filament is well suited for projects demanding both flexibility and lightweight performance.
- Xecarb 45 3DF — Designed for applications that require both structural integrity and resistance to chemically aggressive environments, Xecarb 45 3DF integrates 10% carbon fiber into a structurally modified PVDF base. This filament is optimal for industrial applications requiring resilience and stability under challenging conditions.
- Xegreen 23 3DF — Developed from rigorously selected 100% recycled polymers and fibers, the Xegreen 23 3DF is based on a 20% carbon fiber-reinforced polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG). This filament provides mechanical strength and lightweight properties while meeting sustainability objectives.
Formnext 2024 will take place Nov. 19-22 in Frankfurt, Germany.
