The T-Mat is an apparatus which is employed for the purpose of printing covers for industrial equipment and bodies for digital thermostatic valves. The substance has been found to demonstrate a remarkable degree of heat resistance at elevated temperatures, which has led to its utilisation in the manufacture of interior coatings for a variety of consumer goods, including automobiles, photocopiers and vacuum cleaners, amongst others. It is evident that the T-mat demonstrates superior effectiveness and resistance over time when used indoors, in comparison to a standard ABS. The T-mat has been demonstrated to exhibit superior strength and tenacity, and it is characterised by ease of use in post-print finishing operations. It is evident that T-mat is a material with high technical performance and has been selected for the manufacture of parts and components that are exposed to extremely high temperatures. Perusal of the case study is recommended in order to understand the intricacies of the T-mat, which has been meticulously examined by the author to verify its full range of characteristics. The following case study, which concerns the fabrication of a three-legged stool constructed entirely from T-mat and fashioned according to the Dirichlet/Voronoi tessellation, is available to peruse in full. The project under consideration demonstrated the feasibility of 3D printing a large object by combining a multitude of characteristics typical of the T-mat in a single project. Weight: 1.00 kg.
