ABS-M30
Strongest Additive ABS Thermoplastic
ABS-M30™ by Stratasys is up 70 percent stronger than standard ABS, providing significantly better layer bonding, impact resistance and flextural strength than standard consumer ABS. The most cost effective additive solution, ABS-M30 is an ideal material for numerous applications including conceptual modeling, functional prototyping,
manufacturing tools such as jig and fixtures as well as end-use production parts.
Polycarbonate-ABS (PC-ABS) combines the desirable strength and heat resistant properties of PC with the flexibility & cost advantages of ABS. PC-ABS is one of the most widely used thermoplastics used in automotive, electronics and variety of other industrial manufacturing applications.
Ideal for creating durable end use parts parts with high fatigue and chemical resistance. FDM Nylon 12 exhibits up to 300% better elongation and fatigue resistance than other FDM materials along with superior chemical compatibility for the most demanding applications such has repetitive enclosures, snap fits and vibration-resistant parts.
Polycarbonate provides exceptionally high tensile and flexural strength, making it ideal for manufacturing strong parts, tooling and fixtures. FDM Polycarbonate is a widely used thermoplastic in automotive, aerospace, medical and a variety of other applications for applications where accuracy, durability and stability are critical.
ASA provides the same mechanical properties as ABS-M30 along with enhanced UV stability, making it ideal for outdoor applications. Combined with good impact resistance, toughness and aesthetics, ASA is one of the most broadly used thermoplastics ideal for concept models, functional production parts such as jigs, fixtures, working prototypes and manufacturing tools.
ABS thermoplastic with static dissipative properties (ABS-ESD7) is ideal for applications where a static charge can damage products, impair their performance or cause an explosion. ABS-ESD7 prevents static electricity build up so that it will not produce stack shock while also preventing fine powders & dust from sticking. ABS-ESD7 is widely used in electronic manufacturing industries for creating jigs and fixtures, enclosures and packaging.
ULTEM 9085 is high performance flame retardant thermoplastic with excellent strength- to weight ratio and unique FST (flame, smoke, toxicity) ratings. These properties make ULTEM 9085 ideal for direct manufacturing of fully functional parts, prototypes and tooling with ultra fast lead times.
Highest Tensile Strength, Heat & Chemical Resistance
ULTEM 1010 is an high performance thermoplastic resin used to create fully functional parts ideal for aerospace & automotive manufacturing industries. ULTEM 1010 offers the highest heat resistance, chemical resistance and tensile strength of any additive thermoplastic.
International Submarine Engineering has been able to replace traditionally machined parts on their newest Explorer class AUVs with 3D printed parts from Forge Labs, reducing turnaround time on complex parts, lowering costs, and allowing more freedom of design.
