Available Formats:
Spools: 1.75mm and 2.85mm diameters in 0.5kg, 1kg, 3kg, and 5kg weights
Pellets: 1kg, 3kg, and 5kg units

Filament Density:
7.80g/cc – 9.20g/cc

Metal Content:
88.0% – 94.0% pure tungsten

High Compatibility:
Works with virtually any open-architecture 3D printer—no proprietary hardware or specialized equipment required. Also compatible with 3D printing pens.

Easy Printing Experience:

• Print with a 0.6mm hardened steel, standard flow nozzle

• Prints similar to PLA

• Minimal to no warping

• Ensure the filament feeds straight into the extruder

• Less hygroscopic than PLA

• Do not dry this filament—drying will degrade the binder

Due to a global supply crunch and shifting export controls, tungsten market prices have reached historic highs in early 2026, directly impacting our raw material costs. We have adjusted our pricing to reflect these current market conditions and remain committed to lowering our rates as soon as global supply stabilizes and tungsten prices retreat.
