BioFil – PCL is a medical grade PCL filament. It is perfect for orthopedic, orthotic, and biomedical applications. Users can reshape 3D printed parts in warm water at 55°C temperature after 10 seconds.
This optimizes the fitting process for 3D printed orthoses with a patient’s body. Achieving a perfect fit in minutes.BioFil – PCL has an excellent adhesion to textiles. This opens new possibilities in orthopedics.
Thinks about combining 3D printed orthopedic parts with textiles. Bonding textiles with insoles, midsoles, or other brace or shoe parts. BioFil – PCL is one of the most sustainable filaments on the market.
This filament biodegrades completely in soil, water, and via home composting. It doesn’t leave any toxic residue or microplastics.
