POM (Polyoxymethylene) Filament – Acetal Engineering Plastic

POM, also known as Acetal or Polyacetal, is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic prized for its exceptional stiffness, low friction coefficient, and excellent wear resistance. Commonly used in the manufacturing of functional prototypes and mechanical components, POM filament is ideal for producing parts that require tight tolerances, dimensional stability, and long-term durability.

Key Benefits

• High Stiffness & Dimensional Stability: Maintains form under load and resists deformation.
• Low Friction: Ideal for gears, bearings, and sliding mechanisms.
• Excellent Wear Resistance: Withstands repetitive motion and abrasive forces.
• Moisture & Chemical Resistance: Performs reliably in a variety of industrial environments.

Recommended Applications

• Functional mechanical parts
• Gears, bushings, and pulleys
• Automotive and industrial components
• Precision prototypes

Recommended Print Settings

• Nozzle Temperature: 230–250°C
• Bed Temperature: 100–120°C
• Enclosure: Strongly recommended to reduce warping
• Print Surface: POM has poor bed adhesion – use mechanical adhesion methods such as clamps or custom print surfaces

Note: POM is a challenging filament to print and is recommended for advanced users with properly equipped printers. It emits formaldehyde when overheated, so always print in a well-ventilated area or with proper fume extraction.

When your project demands performance-grade plastic with low friction and high wear resistance, POM filament delivers industrial-grade results for precision applications.
