FDM Materials. New additions.
Posted on Nov 14, 2013
Our new range of materials is intended to help designers and engineers prototype or rapid manufacture across a range of specialist manufacturing sectors, from electronics & medical through to transport & aerospace.
These materials will be 3d printed via our 'Strong & Durable' service which is based on FDM 3d printing technology. Please call 01952 820 453 or email for more information or specification sheets. More information to follow.
ABS - Static Dissipative.
• Static dissipative with target surface resistance of 10⁷ ohms (typical range 10⁹ – 10⁶ ohms)*
• Makes great assembly tools for electronic and static sensitive products
• Widely used for functional prototypes of cases, enclosures and packaging
Colour: Black | Code: ABS-EDS7
ABS - Bio compatible.
• Biocompatible (ISO 10993 USP Class VI)1 material
• Sterilizable using gamma radiation or ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization methods
• Best fit for applications requiring good strength and sterilization
Colour: Ivory | Code: ABS-M30i.
Polycarbonate - Bio compatible.
• Biocompatible (ISO 10993 USP Class VI)1 material
• Sterilizable using gamma radiation or ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization methods
• Best fit for applications requiring higher strength and sterilization
Colour: White or Translucent Natural | Code: PC-ISO
ABS\Polycarbonate hybrid.
• Superior mechanical properties and heat resistance of PC
• Excellent feature definition and surface appeal of ABS
• Highest impact strength
Colour: Black | Code: PC-ABS
Flame, Smoke, Toxicity (FST) certified.
• FST (flame, smoke, toxicity) certified thermoplastic
