ESA/ESTEC-verified performance, not a spec sheet promise

Flexural strength, thermal conductivity, and CTE for this SiC filament were measured at ESA's technology centre (ESTEC) in the Netherlands under calibrated test equipment — 14 samples for flexural data alone. You get the same numbers we'd hand an auditor.

About this product

Fila-MAT Silicon Carbide is 3DCeram’s ceramic FFF feedstock — 1.75mm filament loaded with silicon carbide (SiC) for the M.A.T. multi-head extrusion printer. Print the green part on a standard FFF head, then debind and solid-state sinter at 2100°C to a dense, chemically inert, high-temperature ceramic component.

Why engineers choose Fila-MAT Silicon Carbide

Four things a process engineer checks before qualifying a ceramic feedstock.

423 MPa flexural strength

Average 3-point-bend flexural strength (±67 MPa across 14 samples) on sintered specimens — full spread reported, not a best case.

82 W/m-K thermal conductivity

Thermal conductivity at 20°C measured on sintered parts. Elastic modulus 248 GPa, density 3.11 g/cc.

Tested at ESA’s ESTEC facility

Property data measured with calibrated equipment at the European Space Agency’s technology centre in the Netherlands — third-party test conditions.

Debind & sinter parameters included

Every spool ships with 3DCeram’s datasheet and process parameters for the M.A.T. FFF head, so green parts reach target density predictably.

How the Fila-MAT workflow runs

Print, debind, sinter — the same three-step process behind every Fila-MAT FFF part.

Step 01
Print on the M.A.T. FFF head

1.75mm feedstock runs on 3DCeram’s M.A.T. printer — max nozzle 270°C, max bed 110°C, with heated filament and print chambers for consistent extrusion.

Step 02
Debind the binder

Binder-removal parameters ship with every spool’s datasheet, tuned for the silicon carbide feedstock — no trial-and-error on the first batch.

Step 03
Sinter to dense ceramic

Solid-state sintering at 2100°C consolidates the part to dense, chemically inert silicon carbide — no melt phase, no powder bed.

Common questions

What is Fila-MAT Silicon Carbide filament and how is it different from a raw SiC ceramic?
Fila-MAT Silicon Carbide is a silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic particle loaded into a thermoplastic binder and spun into a standard 1.75mm FFF filament. It prints on a normal extrusion head, then goes through debinding and solid-state sintering at 2100°C to remove the binder and densify into a pure, chemically inert SiC part — no powder bed, laser, or binder-jetting equipment required.
Is Fila-MAT Silicon Carbide compatible with any FFF printer, or only the 3DCeram M.A.T.?
Fila-MAT Silicon Carbide is qualified and process-validated on the 3DCeram M.A.T. platform, which combines an FFF print head with the debind/sinter workflow this material needs. It may extrude on other FFF printers capable of the required nozzle temperature, but compatibility outside the M.A.T. is unconfirmed — talk to our materials engineer before qualifying it on a different machine.
What sintering temperature and process does this filament require?
Fila-MAT Silicon Carbide uses solid-state sintering at 2100°C. There is no melt phase — densification happens entirely through solid-state diffusion, which is what gives the sintered part its chemical inertness and hardness.
What mechanical and thermal properties does the sintered part achieve?
Sintered Fila-MAT Silicon Carbide parts reach 3.11 g/cc density, an average elastic modulus of 248 GPa, and average flexural strength of 423 MPa (±67 MPa across 14 samples, 3-point bending). Thermal conductivity at 20°C is 82 W/m-K, with a CTE of 2.9 ppm/°C measured from -130°C to +399°C.
How was the thermal and mechanical performance data validated?
All mechanical and thermal test data for Fila-MAT Silicon Carbide, including the thermal diffusivity curve from -99.7°C to +100.7°C, was measured with calibrated test equipment at ESA's technology centre (ESTEC) in the Netherlands — the standard of characterization aerospace and space-hardware programs qualify against.
What shrinkage should I plan for between the printed part and the final sintered part?
Shrinkage depends on the specific debind and sinter schedule used for Fila-MAT Silicon Carbide on your M.A.T. configuration. We haven't published a blanket shrinkage figure for this grade because it varies with part geometry and cycle — send us your part and our materials engineer will confirm expected shrinkage before you commit to a print.
Is pricing available online, or does Fila-MAT Silicon Carbide require a quote?
Fila-MAT Silicon Carbide is quote-priced rather than listed online, since it's supplied specifically for the 3DCeram M.A.T. workflow and configuration. Request a quote through the button above and our materials engineer will confirm current pricing and lead time.
Can Additive Plus help with debind and sinter parameters for this material?
Yes. Our materials engineers have run Fila-MAT Silicon Carbide in-house and can advise on debind ramp rates, sinter atmosphere, and cycle time for your specific M.A.T. configuration and part geometry. Sub-4h reply, NDA on request.
