The Kimya range of 3D Printing filament, by Armor of France, offers a wide choice of technical and high performance materials to meet the needs of manufacturers.
Their range hosts many unique and blended compounds including: ABS Carbon Fibre and Kevlar, PEI, PEKK, Conductive Flexibles (ESD), PPSU, PETG Carbon Fibre, high impact and recycled PLA.
Kimya filament holds certifications from Ultimaker", Raise3D and Makerbot.
Airbus approached Kimya to have their 3D Printing materials standardised and qualified, to guarantee consistent, reliable levels of quality in their additive manufacturing processes.
Alliances like this within the Aeronautical, Automotive, Transport and Medical industries since 1922 that have established Kimya's reputation world wide for material innovation and development. Read More

The Kimya Lab
Kimya subject each material to rigorous formulation, analysis, and characterization, conducted by the experts of the Kimya Lab.
All of the filaments in the Kimya portfolio undergo testing and verification via a battery of 3D printing simulations for different applications.
A number of the materials were engineered and certified to provide resistance against high temperatures and solvents, while others can be used in food contact situations or in outdoor conditions.
Whatever the demands of your 3D printing project, there's a Kimya filament material that's up to the task.
To have their 3D printing materials qualified and standardize the additive manufacturing process within AIRBUS in order to be able to produce prototypes quickly while guaranteeing a level of quality that meets the group’s standards
To offer specific conditioning for optimum 3D printer utilization at Protospace
Kimya’s teams were required to optimize the printing profiles (temperature of the printing head, plate and tempered chamber) of every material selected by Airbus. Yannick Castel, Senior Business Developer Manager at Kimya, explains the importance of this direct collaboration with Airbus:
"Instead of providing the printing profiles of our materials to the 3D printer manufacturers as we usually do, the specific feature of this request was that it came from the end customer directly,
requiring us to enhance our printing parameters in line with specific needs. As the pilot site for all other Airbus sites, the 3D printing team at Protospace in Saint Nazaire offers support to other departments of the group for their 3D printing projects.
They need to acquire our expertise and gain maximum proficiency in the properties of our products and related parameters. This way they are able to accurately guide the group’s other departments towards the
most suitable Kimya materials for their particular 3D project." Read More
Transport - Railways
ALSTOM is a major manufacturer of railway and light rail systems, including the TGV high spped rail.
They tasked the Kimya Lab with creating FDM 3D printer filament from a raw material that would be compatible with the EN 45545 fire/smoke standard.
Then Kimya services created and extensively testing 3D printing profiles for the new material.
