FormFutura ApolloX is a professional high-performance engineering filament, which is based on an uniquely industrial-grade modified ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) compound. ApolloX has been modified to have great thermal stability, improved filament flowing behaviour, zero-warping and flawless first- and interlayer adhesion allowing you to 3D print objects with an almost injection-molded precision. ApolloX is UV and weather resistant and by that ensuring great colour stability – combined with high strength and heat resistant properties – which makes ApolloX a perfect engineering filament for outdoor and automotive applications.

*) Above displayed settings are meant as guidance to find your optimal print settings. These ranges in settings should work for most printers, but please do feel free to experiment outside these ranges if you think it is suitable for your printer. There are a lot of different type of printers, hot-ends and printer offsets that it is extremely difficult to give an overall one-size-fits-all setting.
