Ultrafuse® FilamentsHigh-Speed Print Profiles
You will find all of our High-Speed print profiles for validated materials here. Meaning all of the time and effort placed into creating these profiles has resulted in a wide array of High-Speed capabilities now available at your fingertips.
On top of that, you can find potential Print Profiles available within the respective slicers.
First, what is our definition of High-Speed? With the current technologies available today, we’ve validated a new standard. When having a volumetric throughput of at least >8 mm3/sec it’s validated as *High-Speed printing. (> 100mm per second, 0.2mm layer height and 0.4 mm nozzle)
Bambu Lab
Forward AM provides print profiles for following Bambu Lab 3D printers X1 Series, P1S, and P1P.
Raise3D
Forward AM provides print profiles for Raise3D Pro3 Hyper Speed printers.
High-Speed Printing Ultrafuse® rPET with Rhubarb by Atelier DARN
Championing Sustainability with Ultrafuse® rPET at FAV 2024. Atelier DARN’s installation, RHUBARB, triumphed at the 2024 Festival des Architectures Vives (FAV) by winning the public prize. This innovative piece, featuring 1,000 3D-printed elements made from Forward AM’s Ultrafuse rPET filament, brilliantly combines art, architecture, and sustainability.
“We had been printing at different speeds since April to complete thousands of elements in a short space of time using a high-speed 3D printer. Actually, we had some doubts before starting the process. But during the process with the material, we have seen that everything goes smoothly: both with individual elements and with experiments where we printed 9 elements at once, which took five to six hours to build at high speed. Actually, there were no problems during the process and we were very happy with the results, how precise the material was.”

Frequently Asked Questions
With nowadays equipment we’ve validated a new standard. When having a volumetric throughput of at least >8 mm3/sec it’s validated as *High-Speed printing. (> 100mm per second, 0.2mm layer hight and 0.4 mm nozzle)
To achieve faster printing speeds, it may be necessary to raise the nozzle temperature. The highest speed mentioned has been determined through our latest tests, ensuring optimal surface quality with a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.2mm layer height. Please note that as printing technology and equipment evolve, we anticipate the possibility of achieving even faster speeds in the future.

Here you’ll find a complete A How-To Guide for Printing Profile Installations on Bambu Lab printers
BASF Forward AM provides print profiles for following Bambu Lab 3D printers:
• X1 Series
• P1S
• P1P
Please be aware that not all Ultrafuse® materials are certified for all Bambu Lab 3D printers due to hardware limitations of the machines (especially a closed chamber for warp sensitive Ultrafuse® materials).
Open the profile
- Download the Ultrafuse® material profile of your choice
- Unzip the file, the file contains the following items:
- A material profile: Ultrafuse XXX.sjon
- Two setting profiles (fiber reinforced materials will have only 0.6mm nozzle profiles):
- BASF 0.20mm Standard Quality – 0.4 nozzle.json
- BASF 0.30mm Standard Quality – 0.6 nozzle.json
- Make sure Bambu Studio is installed on your PC, and the printer you want to use is set-up in the slicer
- Open Bambu Studio
Import material and Settings profiles.
- In Bambu Studio select File>import>import configs…
- Select from the downloaded folder the material config file ‘ Ultrafuse XXX.json’ and both process config files ‘ BASF 0.20mm Standard Quality – 0.4 nozzle.json and BASF 0.30mm Standard Quality – 0.6 nozzle.json’
- A confirmation should pop-up that the configs have been added
- The material can now be selected from the ‘Filament’ dropdown menu
- A provided settings profile can be selected from the ‘Process’ dropdown menu
Remark:We provide usual material settings for a 0.4mm nozzle diameter with a layer height of 0.20mm and a 0.6mm nozzle diameter with a layer height of 0.30mm. You will find in Bambu Studio several other print settings options, created by Babu Lab for Bambu Lab materials. Several of these print settings might also work for Ultrafuse® filaments but are not validated by Forward AM.
All Bambu Lab qualified Ultrafuse® filaments (700gr, 750gr, and 1kg spools) are compatible with the Bambu Lab AMS, including TPU 64D, only exceptions are Ultrafuse® TPU 85A and TPU 95A.
Happy Printing!
