Metal Filler is a metal powder composed of finely ground metallic particles.
It serves as a fundamental material in various industrial processes, manufacturing techniques, and emerging technologies.
Metal Filler is available in a range of 3 colours: copper, bronze, and brass.
One of the main advantages of Metal Filler is its ability to simulate the appearance and properties of solid metal without the constraints of traditional metalworking methods.
Metal powder is also valued by artists, designers, and hobbyists for its ability to offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional methods and its capacity to enable the creation of complex and detailed designs that would be difficult to achieve with solid metal.
Once mixed with resin, Metal Filler forms a homogeneous blend that can be used in various 3D printing and moulding processes, allowing for the creation of functional prototypes, intricate jewellery, or industrial components.
The choice of a specific metal powder depends on the desired properties and applications, such as conductivity, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, or mechanical strength.
The resulting objects exhibit the lustre of metal and must be treated by polishing or other finishing techniques to achieve the desired shine.
Note: the metal effect will be more striking when starting with a transparent resin rather than a white acrylic resin.
3 metallic finishes: bronze, copper, brass
Packaging: 1 or 5 kg
Ratio: variable depending on resin type
Storage: in its original packaging, protected from humidity

Add the quantity recommended by the manufacturer according to the nature of the resin.
Ratio 1:2 (100 g of liquid to 200 g of powder)
+ 80%-100% Metal Filler (between 280 g and 350 g of Metal Filler for 350 g of Jesmonite A+B)
Ratio 1:1 (100 g of comp. A to 100 g of comp. B)
+ 150% Metal Filler (300 g of Metal Filler for 200 g of F160 A+B)
Ratio 1:0.4 (100 g of comp. A to 40 g of comp. B)
+ 100% Metal Filler (140 g of Metal Filler for 140 g of WWA A+B)
If the chosen resin does not offer total transparency, it may be advisable to lightly sprinkle the bottom of the mould with Metal Filler alone before filling with the resin + Metal Filler mixture; this method helps to give the final piece more brilliance.
When removed from the mold, the part retains its metallic color but still has a matte finish. To obtain the characteristic shine of metal, the surface must be treated by polishing or other finishing techniques.
Note: the density of metal (+/-1.8) is significantly higher than that of resins (+/- 1.1), which causes the powder to tend to settle towards the bottom of the mould.
Note 2: The ratios indicated above are the maximum quantities of filler tolerated by the resin; a lesser quantity can certainly be considered.
Under normal conditions of use and in its original form, the product has no negative health effects
