High Temperature Resistance
High temperature resistant materials have the capability of heat deflection right off a 3D printer’s tray. PC, PPSF and ULTEM*9085 and PC-ISO materials are 3D printed with Fused Deposition Modeling technology. FDM materials are used for industries, such as automotive, aerospace and medical industries. They are heavy duty materials where PC (polycarbonate) has superior mechanical properties, PPSF has high heat and chemical resistance and ULTEM*9085 also has high heat resistance qualities. PC-ISO is not only high temperature resistant; it is also a bio-compatible material.
Polyjet High Temperature material (RGD525) has an exceptional dimensional stability and is ideal for applications such as hot air and water testing. It is mostly used for household pipes, taps and thermal functional testing. Combine high temperature Polyjet materials with Rubber-like materials to produce Shore A values and rigid functional materials for higher temperature resistance. It will also allow you to print high temperature parts with overmoling.
The Accura Bluestone features exceptional stiffness, excellent accuracy and high temperature resistance. It is ideal for applications, such as wind tunnel testing, lighting designs and hot air and water handling and testing. Nylon materials for Selective Laser Sintering are ideal for precise 3D printing for housings, consumer sporting goods and complex plastic goods. Create accurate and heat resistant parts or models with basic and composite nylon materials. DMLS Metals are the perfect material for heavy duty tasks that require elevated heat resistance. DMLS materials are durable and ideal for engineering, automotive, aerospace applications which require dimensional stability.
(HDT or Heat Deflection Temperature is the measure of a material temperature at which a polymer or plastic deforms under a specified load).
