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 a SiC ceramic-loaded filament built for the 3DCeram M.A.T. print → debind → sinter workflow — extrusion-printed on a standard FFF head, then solid-state sintered into a dense, chemically inert, high-temperature ceramic part.

3DCeram M.A.T. printer running Fila-MAT Silicon Carbide FFF ceramic filament
The 3DCeram M.A.T. platform extrudes Fila-MAT filaments, then debinds and sinters them into dense ceramic parts.

Why engineers choose Fila-MAT Silicon Carbide

82 W/m‑K conductivity

Thermal conductivity at 20°C, measured on sintered parts — not an estimate.

423 MPa flexural strength

±67 MPa across 14 samples, 3-point bending test — full spread reported, not a best case.

Stable ‑130°C to +399°C

CTE of 2.9 ppm/°C across the tested range — relevant for parts that cycle between cryogenic and high-heat environments.

Solid-state sintered to 2100°C

No melt phase — yields a dense (3.11 g/cc), chemically inert SiC part with no powder bed involved.

How the M.A.T. workflow delivers the part

STEP 01

Print

Fila-MAT Silicon Carbide extrudes on the 3DCeram M.A.T.’s FFF module at standard desktop print parameters — no loose powder, no laser.

STEP 02

Debind

The printed green part is thermally debound to remove the polymer binder ahead of sintering.

STEP 03

Sinter

Solid-state sintering at 2100°C densifies the part into pure, chemically inert silicon carbide.

First articles came off the sinter on dimension once we applied the shrinkage factor their engineer gave us — and the 82 W/m-K held up on our own thermal bench.

★★★★★

We needed traceable thermal data for a space-hardware review. The ESA/ESTEC diffusivity numbers meant we didn't have to run the full characterization ourselves.

★★★★★

Printing SiC on an FFF head and sintering to a dense part cut the cost of our corrosion-test coupons versus outsourcing. The debind schedule worked first time.

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 standard.
