M.A.T. is an Additive Manufacturing (AM) solution for the production of complex geometries made out of metals and ceramics. With the M.A.T., 3DCERAM TIWARI utilizes the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) technique to produce ceramic and metallic parts with a 3D-printer working with special filaments. The 3D- printed parts are then eliminated of any non-metallic or non-ceramic component (binder) with the help of heat treatment at high temperatures, yielding pure and resistant parts suitable for all engineering applications in a matter of days. This cost-effective technique is suitable for a number of metals and ceramics, including metal-ceramic or ceramic-ceramic composites, and is capable of producing parts with high relative density.

Common questions

What is Fila-MAT Metal Copper and how does it produce metal parts?
Fila-MAT Metal Copper is a 3DCeram bound-metal feedstock — a 1.75mm filament loaded with copper powder held in a polymer binder. You print a green part on the 3DCeram M.A.T. FFF head like any thermoplastic, then remove the binder (debinding) and sinter the part in a furnace to consolidate the copper into a dense, conductive component. The result is a functional copper part made on an extrusion printer, without a laser powder-bed system — useful because copper's reflectivity makes it hard to process on many laser machines. Every spool ships with the debind and sinter parameters so the first build reaches target density predictably.
Which printer is Fila-MAT Metal Copper compatible with?
Fila-MAT Metal Copper is qualified for the 3DCeram M.A.T. multi-additive printer running its FFF extrusion head. The M.A.T. uses heated filament and print chambers that keep the highly filled metal feedstock extruding consistently, and it is matched to that machine rather than sold as a generic 1.75mm filament — which is why the print, debind and sinter parameters ship together. If you do not run an M.A.T. yet, Additive Plus can quote the printer alongside the feedstock so the whole workflow is validated from one supplier.
What post-processing does Fila-MAT Metal Copper require?
Like every bound-metal FFF material, Fila-MAT Metal Copper needs two steps after printing: debinding and sintering. Debinding removes the polymer binder from the green part, and high-temperature sintering fuses the remaining copper powder into dense metal. The debind and sinter parameters are supplied on the datasheet with every order, so you are not guessing cycle times or temperatures. Additive Plus can also advise on debinding and sintering equipment if you do not already run a furnace suited to copper.
What properties can I expect after sintering?
After sintering, Fila-MAT Metal Copper reaches roughly 8.4 g/cc density, 228 W/m-K thermal conductivity at 30°C, a 118 GPa modulus and a CTE of 18.71 ppm/°C. Copper is chosen primarily for thermal and electrical conductivity rather than structural strength, so the datasheet centres on those properties; final strength depends heavily on your sinter cycle and achieved part density. The full datasheet ships with every spool, and an Additive Plus materials engineer can advise on achievable density for your geometry.
How much does a Fila-MAT Metal Copper part shrink during debinding and sintering?
Bound-metal parts shrink as the binder is removed and the metal densifies during sintering, so a green part is printed larger than the final dimension and scales down predictably. The exact linear shrinkage for Fila-MAT Metal Copper is defined in the 3DCeram datasheet supplied with every spool and is applied in the recommended slicer profile, so your CAD dimensions map to the finished part. A materials engineer at Additive Plus can walk through the shrinkage factor for your specific geometry before you commit to a production run.
Why print copper with bound-metal FFF instead of a laser system?
Copper's high reflectivity and conductivity make it hard to process on many laser powder-bed machines, which need special green or high-power infrared sources. Bound-metal FFF sidesteps that: you extrude a copper-filled filament on a standard heated FFF head, then debind and sinter to dense metal. This makes conductive copper parts — heat sinks, exchangers, inductors and RF or thermal-management components — accessible on the 3DCeram M.A.T. without a dedicated copper laser system. An Additive Plus engineer can help judge whether FFF copper meets your conductivity and geometry targets.
