What Materials Can the INTAMSYS FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO Print?

Direct answer: INTAMSYS currently lists 35 material and named-grade entries for the FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO. They span PEEK and PEKK, reinforced PAEK, PPS and PPA composites, nylon, PC and ABS families, PET materials, TPU95A, PLA, HIPS, PVA, several INTAMSYS support codes, and three named third-party grades. That is unusually broad official model-level evidence. It is not a promise that every spool in a family works with every nozzle, surface, support pairing or part.

The APOLLO makes the most sense when the decision is bigger than “can it melt this filament?” Its product record centers on PEEK production, a dual IDEX independent-extrusion system, two 3 kg active dry boxes rated up to 65 °C, and a chamber stated to remain stable up to 100 °C. Those features create a credible high-temperature production path. They also create configuration decisions: single versus dual nozzle, model versus support material, exact conditioning method, abrasive wear path, chamber recipe, release surface, and whether the finished part has the evidence its application requires.

What INTAMSYS currently establishes—and what it does not

The product comparison table gives the controlling model-specific list: 35 entries, not every material in the site-wide navigation. It also states a 305 × 260 × 260 mm build size in single-nozzle mode and 260 × 260 × 260 mm in dual-nozzle mode. That lost width matters. A buyer planning soluble or breakaway support cannot assume the single-nozzle envelope while using both toolheads.

INTAMSYS describes the dual system as IDEX and says it supports mirror and duplicate modes. Those are machine features, not guaranteed throughput. The page also advertises up to 200 mm/s and more than four times the speed of standard PEEK printers. Treat both as manufacturer claims with test and geometry scope. They do not establish job time, yield, staffing, dimensional tolerance or weekly output for a shop.

The same boundary applies to statements about strength, repeatability and print success. A material coupon, marketing example or internally measured Z-tensile result does not certify your printed geometry. Orientation, wall transitions, moisture, thermal history, nozzle condition, tool changes, support interface and post-process all influence the finished part. Qualify the representative part and the requirement that actually matters.

PEEK and PEKK are the core reason to buy this machine

PEEK, PEKK, PEEK-CF and PEEK-GF lead the official APOLLO list, and INTAMSYS explicitly positions the model for production-scale PEEK. The chamber, dry-box and dual-extrusion architecture fit that mission better than a general desktop printer. But “supports PEEK” is still the beginning of a process, not the end.

For each grade, obtain the current profile and process window. Record lot, dry history, storage exposure, nozzle and support configuration, plate interface, chamber setpoint, cooldown and any required conditioning. High-temperature polymers can change crystallinity, residual stress, dimensions and interlayer behavior with thermal history. A visually complete part can still miss the property or tolerance that justified PEEK in the first place.

AM200 appears as a named table entry. Preserve that specificity. Do not replace it in documentation with a generic “PEEK” label or assume another supplier's PAEK grade is equivalent. If the work needs traceability, confirm the recognized spool, software record and material-lot workflow before purchase.

PPS, PPA and reinforced grades add a wear-control decision

PPS, PPS-CF, PPS-GF, PPA-CF and PPA-GF are all listed. That is better evidence than inferring capability from hot-end temperature. It still does not identify every filler percentage, minimum nozzle diameter, nozzle material or service interval. Confirm those items for the exact grade and installed toolhead.

Short fibers can improve selected stiffness, thermal or dimensional properties while changing flow, surface finish, anisotropy and failure behavior. Wear can also shift extrusion during a long campaign. Track nozzle condition and replacement criteria instead of treating one successful first part as permanent calibration. Cutting or sanding filled parts can release fine polymer and fiber dust; use suitable local extraction, housekeeping and PPE.

If high-temperature PAEK work is occasional, compare the APOLLO with the AON3D Hylo material router and the simpler FUNMAT HT material router. The correct answer may be external production rather than owning underused industrial process capacity.

Nylon: two active dry boxes help, but they do not erase moisture history

PA12-CF, PA6/66, PA6-CF and the named WANHUA PA12 entry form a real nylon lane. The APOLLO's two 3 kg active dry boxes, stated to reach up to 65 °C, are useful for controlled feeding and long jobs. Do not call them universal recovery ovens. An already-wet grade may require a different temperature, time, airflow and equipment class than a dry box can safely provide.

Use the filament maker's instructions and document whether the box is maintaining a conditioned spool or recovering one. The nylon drying-versus-storage guide, nylon-CF drying guide and dryer-versus-oven comparison separate those jobs. Never exceed the spool, appliance or material limits simply because the printer is built for high temperatures.

Filled nylons also return the abrasion question. Confirm nozzle and drive-path compatibility, then test the finished part after the conditioning state it will see in service. Moisture can affect both printing and end-use dimensions or properties.

If nylon and carbon-filled nylon are the main workload, compare the broader ownership options in the nylon and carbon-fiber printer guide before paying for a PAEK-centered production platform.

PC, ABS and ESD/FR labels need grade-level boundaries

The current list distinguishes PC, PC/ABS, PC-FR, PC-PBT and BASF PC/ABS-FR. Those names describe different formulations, not one transferable profile. Likewise, ABS+, ABS-GF, ABS-HS and KIMYA ABS-ESD should not be collapsed into “ABS.” Use the exact profile, dry guidance, chamber setting, support and surface for the named feedstock.

FR and ESD labels require special restraint. A flame-retardant filament datasheet does not establish the fire classification of a printed geometry or finished assembly. An ESD-labeled filament does not establish final surface resistance across orientation, humidity, tool wear and process variation. If either property drives the purchase, define the required standard and test representative printed parts.

ASA and HIPS are also listed. The heated enclosure can support shrink-prone materials, but ventilation and source capture remain separate decisions. For shops that mainly need these families, the ABS and ASA printer guide may point to a lower-complexity machine.

PETG, PLA and TPU95A do not need the PEEK process

PETG, PET-CF, PET-GF, PLA and TPU95A are explicit APOLLO entries. Their inclusion makes the machine versatile, but it does not mean the hot chamber should stay at a PEEK setting. Excess ambient heat can work against cooling or feed stability for some lower-temperature and flexible materials. Select the material-specific profile.

PET-CF and PET-GF are abrasive and need current nozzle guidance. TPU95A needs a verified feed path and speed/retraction strategy; do not extend that entry to softer TPU, TPE or every flexible blend. PLA is a valid listed material, but a buyer running mostly PLA should not pay for an industrial PAEK workflow without a concrete future requirement.

Dual extrusion makes support compatibility a first-class decision

PVA, HIPS, SP3030, SP3050, SP5000 and SP5010 appear in the model table. Their presence does not prove that each support works with every model material. Support choice depends on thermal overlap, interface adhesion, purge behavior, moisture control, removal method and the geometry's trapped regions.

Confirm the current INTAMSYS pairing for the exact model material and decide whether the job needs full soluble support, breakaway support or only an interface layer. Validate removal and disposal before production. Do not pour contaminated dissolution waste down a drain without checking the support and local requirements.

Remember that dual-nozzle operation reduces the published X envelope from 305 mm to 260 mm. A job that fits in single-nozzle mode may not fit once the required support tool is active. That is a concrete buyer decision the broad material list alone cannot answer.

Unlisted materials and wrong-feedstock poor fits

PEI 1010, PEI 9085 and PPSU appear elsewhere in INTAMSYS navigation but not in the current APOLLO comparison row. PP, POM and many specialty blends are also absent. This does not prove they can never be processed. It means the current model source does not establish them. Ask INTAMSYS for written APOLLO-specific guidance covering the exact grade, toolhead, plate, chamber, dry-box and software path.

Pellets, resin, powder, paste, wire and continuous fiber use different feed systems. The APOLLO is documented here as a filament FFF machine. An adjustable profile or adequate temperature does not convert it into another process. Do not infer capability from temperatures alone.

Ventilation, fire, electrical and operating boundaries

An enclosed industrial printer is not an emissions guarantee. Polymer processing can generate particles and gases that depend on material and conditions. Use current safety data sheets, the manufacturer's facility and exhaust instructions, and an exposure-control plan appropriate to the shop. NIOSH's safe-3D-printing guidance emphasizes source control and ventilation rather than relying only on room dilution.

Follow INTAMSYS instructions for power, grounding, clearances, hot surfaces, chamber access, interlocks, maintenance and emergency shutdown. Keep combustible storage away from hot equipment, provide fire protection selected with the facility authority, and never bypass a guard, alarm or interlock to save a print. GoodPrints is not the final electrical, fire, industrial-hygiene or code authority.

Use eye, hand, respiratory and skin protection appropriate to the material and task. Post-processing abrasive composites can create dust; support removal can create contaminated liquid or fragments; high-temperature maintenance can expose hot surfaces. Stop for unexpected smoke, odor, repeated feed resistance, visible wear, plate damage, chamber alarms or an unstable process.

How to qualify a material without pretending one coupon proves production

1. Lock the identity: exact material name, supplier, grade, diameter, lot and safety data.
2. Lock the configuration: single or dual nozzle, nozzle material/diameter, support, dry-box role, plate interface and chamber recipe.
3. Define acceptance: dimensional, visual and functional limits tied to the intended part.
4. Run representative geometry: include walls, holes, interfaces, supports and load directions that matter.
5. Check after conditioning: inspect or test after the thermal, moisture or chemical state the part will see.
6. Document stop rules: wear, emissions, alarms, feed instability, surface damage or any departure from the approved process.

No article can supply a medical, aerospace, pressure, food-contact, electrical, flame, chemical or load-bearing qualification. Use the applicable standard, competent engineering review and representative testing.

Buyer and owner decision

• Shortlist the APOLLO when recurring PEEK/PEKK or supported high-temperature production needs dual extrusion, controlled feeding, traceability and a 260 mm dual-tool envelope.
• Choose a simpler platform when most work is PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, routine PC or nylon and the PAEK production features will remain idle.
• Pause for written confirmation when the business case depends on PEI/ULTEM, PPSU, PP, POM, softer flexibles, an unlisted support, a different supplier grade or a claimed certification.
• Use qualified external production when traceability, validated properties, inspection or low-volume PAEK output matters more than owning and controlling the process.

Start with the part material decision and custom-printing service FAQ. For a defined part, request a GoodPrints quote; for repeat production and broader equipment access, use the JC Print Farm route.

Bottom line

The FUNMAT PRO 310 APOLLO has current manufacturer evidence for 35 material and named-grade entries, with PEEK production as its clearest reason to exist. Buy it for the whole workflow: PAEK-capable thermal control, dual-tool material/support pairing, active dry feeding, traceability and a qualified finished part. Do not buy from a temperature ceiling or list length alone. Exact grade, configuration, support, surface, emissions control and acceptance evidence still decide whether the job belongs on this machine.
