The Virtual Foundry announces the Filamet Evaluation Kit, a new product. The Filamet Evaluation Kit contains sample-size portions of Copper Filamet 3D Printing Filament as well as other items needed to debind and sinter copper 3D prints. 

“Right now we're seeing increasing growth in high schools, Fab Labs, community colleges and even home users. Every school has 3D printers.” says Brad Woods, Founder/CEO at The Virtual Foundry. “By using our approach, these users can expand into metal AM without massive capital outlay and with minimal learning curve.”

Features and benefits of Filamet Evaluation Kit:

  • The kit includes a finished, full metal part.
  • If users don’t have a kiln, The Virtual Foundry will perform debind and sintering services.
  • Get a feel for the full 3-step "print—debind—sinter" process.

The Filamet Evaluation Kit is available now, at $96 USD. For more information on the Filamet Evaluation Kit, click here.

The Virtual Foundry offers fully in-house metal 3D printing technology that doesn’t require cloud-based software. The Virtual Foundry’s key applications are in military, research and academia.
