Waterproof / watertight filament 

Filaments for 3D printers in a liquid environment and therefore waterproof or watertight allow it to be used in an aqueous or liquid environment. The printed object can retain the liquid or prevent it from going inside an object. These special filaments have been selected for their excellent interlayer connection and impermeability. The watertightness is enhanced by the 3D model thanks to certain parameters such as the thickness of the shell and the precision.

Purchasing waterproof filament or waterproof 3D filaments

Filaments in spools referred to as "waterproof" or watertight help retain water or a liquid within a 3D printed object. Another use is that of a waterproof shell in the water which prevents any liquid from entering the inside of the object created with the 3D printer.

Behaviour of the material for 3D printers in a liquid environment

The model's print settings are the key to success for making the model waterproof or watertight. The 3D printer filament must be printed with a large outer shell thickness for the layers to maintain sufficient contact in order to prevent the passage of a liquid element.

Waterproof or watertight materials for 3D printers

We recommend PET or nylon for this precision use of waterproof or watertight 3D filament. These materials are ideal for use in a liquid environment.
