Magneti Ljubljana d.d. produces various types of polymer bonded magnets based on several types of magnetic materials (NdFeB, SmCo, SrFe…) and binders (PA12, PPS, Epoxy…). Polymer bonded magnets are best suited for magnets of very complex shapes, of a wide range of dimensions and magnetic properties. Besides the standard types of polymer bonded magnets represented in this catalogue, other feasible customer requirements can also be met.

New filament for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) of bonded magnets based on MQ powder enables robust additive manufacturing of bonded magnets using conventional desktop 3D printers with magnetic properties comparable to the injection molded bonded magnets.
We have now expanded our range of filaments for 3D printing bonded magnets. In addition to the basic type of filament (3DMAG – HC) launched in 2022, we have begun commercially marketing two new types of filaments. The 3DMAG – HB filament boasts higher remanence and energy product, while the 3DMAG – HF filament is designed with atomized magnetic powders, which, due to their spherical shape, allow for easier 3D printing and reduced wear on 3D printer nozzles. All types of filaments enable 3D printing of complex-shaped plasto-magnets with magnetic properties comparable to those of injection-molded plasto-magnets. All filament types are marketed under the 3DMAG brand, which is registered with the Slovenian Intellectual Property Office (No. 20237100).

Sintered AlNiCo magnets also excel in high maximum operating temperatures and good corrosion resistance. Sintering is better than casting for more complex forms and usually smaller dimensions.
Sintered SmCo5 magnets are produced in a similar way as Sm2Co17 magnets, yet they have lower magnetization and also slightly lower maximum operating temperature. SmCo5 magnets are best for applications where only low magnetization fields can be applied andwhich still require quite high temperature stability.
SmCo magnets (including Sm2Co17) have much higher coercivity than AlNiCo magnets. This means that they are more resistant to demagnetizing fields. On the other hand they have still significantly higher maximum operating temperatures than NdFeB magnets.
