3DXTECH SimuBone Bone Modeling Filament
Advanced PLA-Based Filament for Clinical and Educational Use
SimuBone Bone Modeling Filament allows you to create realistic bone models for both clinical and educational applications. Its PLA-based formulation is easy to print on almost any 3D printer, including dual extruder systems with compatible support material. Specialty additives give parts the look, feel, and mechanical properties of real bone. The filament is ISO 22196:2011 certified antibacterial, ensuring safe handling in classrooms, labs, and medical facilities. Produced in an ISO 13485 compliant facility, SimuBone provides a reliable, cost-effective alternative to cadaver bone.
Key Features of the 3DXTECH SimuBone Bone Modeling Filament:
- ISO 22196:2011 Certified Antibacterial — eliminates 99.9% of bacteria for the lifetime of the part.
- Realistic bone simulation for pre-operative planning, training, and education.
- Formulated for ideal sawing, drilling, and screw retention.
- PLA-based, non-toxic, biodegradable, and easy to print on virtually any 3D printer.
- Radio-opaque additive allows enhanced visibility on X-ray and CT scans.
Compatibility and Printing Ease
SimuBone Bone Modeling Filament works seamlessly with popular automated material systems like the Bambu AMS, Creality CFS, and Anycubic ACE Pro. Its 750g reels fit standard spools and allow for continuous printing without manual material changes.
- Fully compatible with dual-extruder and automated material management systems.
- Easy to print on most FDM/FFF 3D printers without special modifications.
- Perfect for complex models when paired with support materials.
Printing Guidelines and Material Handling
SimuBone is designed for reliable, hassle-free printing in office and lab environments. It requires minimal preparation and delivers consistent results across a range of printers.
- Recommended extruder temperature: 220–240°C; bed temperature: 23–60°C; heated chamber not required.
- Layer heights of 0.10mm or higher and minimum nozzle diameter of 0.4mm work effectively.
- Drying at 65°C for 4 hours ensures optimal print quality.
