introduction
who we are E
astablished in 2003 and located in Shanghai, aK2 is a high-tech entreprise specializing in
researching, developing and producing Polymer material such as self adhesive films for the digital printing industry. Since 2010, K2 Europe has began sales and
marketing activities in the digital printing, sign and visual communication segments. With the emerging market of the 3D Printing, K2 Europe is naturally expending with a range of PLA, ABS, PVA, Conductive, HIPS. With the exclusive formulas the K2 Filaments are strictly round shape with laser quality control, accurate diameter, high teenacity, uniform color shade stable melting point. Besides, “Best quality, Affordable price” is K2’s long term insistent policy. Just because of this, K2’s filament 3D is becoming well recognized in the market. K2 Europe successfully established the stable relationships
with
many
famous
3d
printer
manufacturers and dealers. Welcome to cooperate with K2.

introduction
quality standard We at K2 EUROPE continuously strive to provide our customers with the best quality filaments available and deliver excellent customer service. Next to this we are continuously looking for the newest and most innovative filaments available for desktop 3D printing. We must always strive for the best quality possible. That is why we only sell filament, which is extruded with extrusion lines which are solely developed and set up for the extrusion of 3D printer filament. This way all important parameters for extruding 3D printer filament can stabilised on an on-going basis, resulting in an extremely high and reliable quality standard with respect to our filament’s colours, printing quality and tolerances in diameter and roundness. Although our filaments are already of outstanding quality, we will never stop looking for opportunities to improve our products and service. Next to our continuous journey to keep improving quality, we are also continuously looking to extend our product offering by adding new materials and colours. We value our customer’s opinion greatly, because your feedback enables us to keep improving our products. Therefore we are always keen to receive your feedback on the quality of our filaments, our customer service, and our product offering, such as our materials, quantities, colours and colour-effects. Please do let us know if you would like us to add other materials, colours, or “special-effect” filaments to our shop. We will definitely look into your enquiry and explore the possibilities. Your enquiry won’t go unnoticed!

Filaments
used for desktop 3D Printing At K2 EUROPE we offer a wide variety of ABS, PLA and “Specialty” filaments. All our ABS, PLA and Specialty filaments are extruded with the latest technologies available, ensuring very tight tolerances with respect to the filament’s diameter and roundness laser controlled.
PLA PREMIUM We currently offer Premium PLA. Our Premium PLA is available in 1.75mm and 3mm diameter and are perfectly suitable for all FFF/FDM technology based desktop 3D printers. Our coloured Premium PLA is in general slightly transparent. Another difference between our Premium PLA and EcoPLA is the extrusion diameter of the filament.
ABS PREMIUM Within our Premium series we also offer ABS filaments. Our Premium ABS is available in 1.75mm and 3mm diameter and is perfectly suitable for all FFF/FDM technology based desktop 3D printers. We have several colours of ABS available in our Premium ABS series. All our Premium ABS filaments come in opaque colours.
HPS PREMIUM Designed for 3D Printing applications where excellent surface bonding, reduced water absorption, tear resistance and dye absorption are combined in an easyto-print line. HPS Prints as a bright natural to white with a translucent surface. It’s possible to add colour with most common clothing dyes.
Nylon Premium Designed for 3D Printing purposes where excellent surface bonding, reduced water-absorption, tear-resistance and transparency are joined into a 1.75mm and 3mm 3D printer filament. Taulman 645 has remarkable characteristics when it comes to strength (St: 16,533 psi /114MPa), surface bonding, and durability (exp. elongation at break = 120%).
Wood PREMIUM You are able to print objects that look and smell like wood. Wood PREMIUM 3D filament is a mixture of 40% recycled wood with a binding polymer. This wood/ polymer composite allows the filament to be printed just like thermoplastic filaments – such as ABS and PLA – but gives your creation a wooden-like appearance.

FLEXI ® Is a special thermopolymer which allows the user to obtain materials similar to rubber. With this material, you can create objects that will appear in rubber itself, and according to the type of rubber, the user can obtain different levels of softness and elongation. The tear resistance characteristics of the material are excellent and resistance to tearing is high. It is an excellent choice for a huge variety of items including small key rings, resistant covers for smart phones, toy tires, arm bands or ballers, rubber shoes prototype, seals for liquids or any application that requires the absorption of impacts.
WOODI ® Is a composite of 35% recycled wood with a binding polymer. This wood/ polymer composite allows the filament to be melted and extruded just like thermoplastic filaments, such as ABS & PLA, but gives your creation a wooden appearance. After printing, your object will look and smell like wood and it can also be handled like wood. You can cut, grind and paint your creations similar as you can do with wooden objects. The color can be changed on the fly by setting the temperature of your printer’s hot end to 230° C for a light color, and 260° C for a darker color.
T-CRISTAL® This new and unique filament has some very interesting characteristics with regars to clearness and strength. It is made from the highest optical quality PETG material. Unlike other polymers, some PETG, including T-CRISTAL are not considered “transparent”. Instead, it belongs to a group of polymers that are considered “colorless” and or “colorless with a percentage of reflectivity”. T-CRISTAL is also considered “clear” and “optically correct”.
