Silicone heater mat technology delivers improved 3D Printer quality and speed of process. The heater mans are thin and lightweight and have a low thermal mass. Due to this low mass, the mats have rapid heat up characteristics and fast response to temperature control. The 3D heater mats wide operating temperature range, flexibility and superb electrical properties give it a distinct advantage over other forms of heating.
Within the heated build platform (HBP) of a 3D Printer, printing quality is improved by having the platform accurately and uniformly heated. As extruded plastic cools it shrinks slightly, when this shrinking process occurs unevenly the printed component can result in warped parts.
