MJP is ideal for high compression, room temperature manufacturing operations like sheet metal forming
Engineering material Armor (M2G-CL) has ideal strength, stiffness, toughness, and compressive properties for this application.
ProFlex (M2G-DUR) and other rigid materials can also work depending on the required geometry.
Armor material is able to support 15 tons of force from a standard hydraulic press.
Materials is durable enough to make hundreds of parts per tool.
Simple design with dowel pins: Print the hole the exact diameter of the pin to achieve a snug press fit.

M2S-HT90 has ideal properties for high temperature forming applications like thermoforming and vacuum forming.
M2S-HT90 HDT of 90°C allows for high cycle rates.
Material withstands repeated high compressive forces.
Sufficient tensile elongation for assembly and fixture needs.
Smooth and blemish free "molding quality" surface.
Excellent bulk geometric accuracy of the parts.
Can form extremely small features like text markings and/or high fidelity and complex surface textures.
Precisely control air paths for high yields.

MJP provides sufficient stiffness and strength to properly represent the geometry
Good elongation for successful part molding and removal needs.
Smooth surface quality
Overall bulk geometric accuracy of the parts
The ability to form extremely small features for things like text markings and/or to create high fidelity and complex surface textures.
Clean release of silicone parts from eggshell molds

Rigid and engineering materials are able to mold wax patterns.
Elastomeric patterns provide additional flexibility for removal of more complex features.
Smooth surface quality
Good bulk geometric accuracy of the parts.
The ability to form extremely small features for things like text markings and/or to create high fidelity and complex surface textures.
Good release properties, but typically require a release agent.
