Z Polymers Tullomer - 500g
Product# TULLOMER-500G
Replacement for aluminum, steel, magnesium, PEEK, PEKK, PAEK, ULTEM, Nylon CF.
Important Note Before Purchasing
Tullomer can achieve most geometries when printed in a high temperature machine.
And it can achieve many--but not all--geometries on much lower cost standard temperature 3D
printers. Factors such as strength and Z-adhesion may be limited by the capabilities of your
machine, and customization of settings may be necessary to optimize performance for your specific
part and use case. We have provided recommended print profiles, but please note that these do not
guarantee success. Whether printed on a high-temp printer (for best results) or a standard 3D
printer, application engineering support to help print a specific part is not included with the
purchase of material. (To purchase engineering support hours from Dynamism please contact us at sales@dynamism.com or 800-711-6277 or add them in the buy-box.)

Product Overview
Z-Polymers Tullomer 1.75mm Filament - 500g
The Vision
Tullomer is a breakthrough superpolymer engineered to match the mechanical performance of continuous fiber-reinforced materials like PEEK, Ultem, and PC—without relying on fibers.
The Material Science
The key to Tullomer is the Mesogen Nematic Structures that line up in the same direction this alignment helps create strong fiber like properties. When the material is pushed through a nozzle the molecules stay lined up. This controlled alignment makes the material much stronger in the direction of printing.
The Strength Tullomer’s Molecular Structure Vs Other Super Polymers
Tullomer is considered a 100% crystalline polymer, meaning its molecular structure is highly organized with a consistent repeating pattern, similar to the crystalline structure of metals. This crystalline structure is why it stands up to the performance of PEEK, Ultem & PC.
Key benefits & applications
Tullomer excels in mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and stability across extreme environments, outperforming PEEK, Ultem, and PC in fiber-like performance.
Printing Basics
Z Adhesion
Tullomer is strong and rigid in the X and Y directions, allowing control over part strength, even for complex shapes. Like most 3D printed materials, it is weaker in the Z direction due to layer bonding.
Recommended Tools
- Use textured or untextured build plates
- Thick steel build plate is recommended but not needed
- Must use a strong glue or adhesive Magigoo for PC is recommended
Recommended Print Settings
Nozzle
- Keep nozzle temperature around~275-300°C
- Start around 290°C and explore the effects of going hotter and colder.
- Tullomer viscosity drops the faster you extrude it, so going hotter is not always better.
- Z-adhesion is a challenge with Tullomer, and hotter temperatures help improve adhesion but require slower print speeds.
Bed Temperature
- Keeping bed temperature at 120C
- Keeping the part hot while printing is key to maximizing Z-layer adhesion and minimizing warping.
Mechanical Properties
- If you have a heated chamber, set it to 60°C or hotter if possible.
- Keeping the part hot when printing is key to maximizing Z-layer adhesion and minimizing warping.
Print Speed & Layer Recommendations for Tullomer
Recommended Settings
- Layer height: 0.050mm
- Wall speed: 500 mm/s (or as fast as your printer allows)
Key Considerations
- Faster print speeds and thinner layers improve fiber strength by applying more shear during printing.
- Z-direction adhesion is weaker than X-Y strength. Printing slower and with thicker layers can improve Z-adhesion but may reduce overall part strength.
Additional Tips
For Better Layer Bonding
- Use thicker line widths
- Experiment with thinner or thicker layers
- Increase nozzle and build chamber temperatures
- Print slower or adjust layer times based on part geometry
To Reduce Warping
- Use layers thicker than 0.1mm
