Abstract
A filament for use in forming a support structure in fused filament fabrication, the filament comprising an amorphous, thermoplastic resin further comprising Bisphenol Isophorone carbonate units and Bisphenol A carbonate units, wherein the Bisphenol Isophorone carbonate units are 30 to 50 mole percent of the total of Bisphenol A carbonate units and Bisphenol Isophorone carbonate units in the resin, and wherein the resin has a glass transition temperature from 165° C. to 200° C. The composition used to form the support filament exhibits a desirable combination of filament formability, printability, lack of significant oozing from the printer nozzle, and good ease of mechanical separation from the build material at room temperature after printing.
