PLYMOUTH, MN, Feb 20, 2025 – NatureWorks has announced the launch of Ingeo 3D300, the company’s newest engineered 3D printing grade. Ingeo 3D300 offers faster printing while maintaining high quality. It sets a new benchmark in additive manufacturing by providing superior efficiency and exceptional performance.
Revolutionizing Speed and Quality
Ingeo 3D300 delivers faster print speeds while maintaining exceptional surface finish and detail, reducing print time and production costs. Whether used for prototyping, functional parts, or creative designs, the faster printing grade provides unparalleled consistency and accuracy, enabling users to meet demanding deadlines without compromising quality.
Key Benefits of Ingeo 3D300
- Fast Speed: Printing up to 300 millimeters per second consistently in neat form, Ingeo 3D300 ensures rapid production without requiring performance-enhancing additives.
- Print Clarity: The material’s optimal transparency simplifies coloring and color matching, offering designers and manufacturers greater flexibility in achieving precise color outcomes.
- High Performance: Ingeo 3D300 delivers minimal stringing and impressive bridging length, even at high printing speeds.
- Pure and Clean: Free from additives, Ingeo 3D300 provides a cleaner and purer material option, ensuring higher-quality prints.
- Cost Efficiency: Ingeo 3D300 significantly reduces print times and reduces the need for additional compounding, effectively lowering operational costs. This makes it an ideal solution for businesses and printers looking to achieve faster turnaround times and enhanced profitability.
“Ingeo 3D300 offers an ideal solution to meet the expanding demand for fast, clean, and precise printing,” said Roger Tambay, chief growth officer at NatureWorks. “By combining the trusted name of Ingeo with a material specially engineered for speed and precision, we’re enabling manufacturers and designers to push the boundaries of what’s possible for their 3D printing.”
Commitment to Sustainability
Ingeo 3D300, like all Ingeo products, comes from renewable resources that can be replenished each year. This reflects NatureWorks’ intense focus on sustainability and caring for the environment. The new grade lets users enjoy high-speed, high-quality 3D printing while lowering their carbon footprint.
