Prusa Research demonstrated practical applications of its Prusament filament line at Rapid + TCT in Detroit, featuring watertight PETG systems and translucent PVB materials.

At this year’s RAPID + TCT event, in Detroit, the company was highlighting the functional uses of its materials in various real-world demonstrations featuring its Prusament filament range.

The company’s exhibit included a closed-loop water system that charged the entire three days. This was a two chamber and pump construction using a cast acrylic and 3D Printed PETG to ensure 100% watertight seal. Visitors were able to experiment hands-on with the assembly by participating in assembling the assembly from a mixture of Pusament materials, including PETG (black), as well as ASA, PC-CF, and PETG V0, as Prusa staffers guided users through the process.

According to Prusa Research, the impressive watertight performance of the system demonstrates the capabilities of their PETG Prusament material. The fluid components of the assembly, including peristaltic pump parts like the cage and lobes, were printed in Prusa’s signature orange color on their 3D printers, with off-the-shelf electronics completing the functional setup.

Attendees could also check out a complete swatch display which featured hands-on exposure to the company’s assortment of filament materials. One impressive demonstration even presented Prusament’s PVB filament pre- and post-vapor smoothing with IPA and how this post-processing method turned the material into a resin-like transparent one.
