Rigid production material

 Design Elastomeric Polypropylene-like,
flexible		 Translucent, Rigid Material with biocompatibility, designed to support a range of industrial and medical applications. For biocompatibility information, please visit here. White, Rigid Material with biocompatibility, designed to support a range of industrial and medical applications. For biocompatibility information, please visit here. Rigid, black plastic with industry-leading UV stability. It is ideal for high-performance, functional prototyping applications. Production-grade additive manufacturing material with game-changing thermoplastic-like mechanical properties, and environmental stability of mechanical and performance properties over time. Industry-leading, ultra-high-temperature-resistant (HDT > 300°C), rigid plastic suitable for the harshest environments Flexible, high impact-resistant material for extremely durable black parts, with the look and feel of production polypropylene. High-tear-strength material for production-hard, rubber-like parts with slow-rebound. Rigid plastic used to create sacrificial tooling that withstands silicone injection at high temperature and pressure, but breaks away easily A mid-tear strength, production-grade rubber combined with Shore 65A hardness and a high elongation at break Opaque rigid white production-grade plastic for same-day parts. This biocompatible-capable material
provides a smooth surface finish, long-term environmental stability, and long-lasting, clean white color.		 A rigid, fire-retardant resin that can be used for production of parts requiring UL 94 V0 capability as well as FAR Part 23.853 and FAR 25.853 capability The balance of thermal and mechanical properties, combined with excellent print quality and long-term Indoor and outdoor stability for prototyping and production. Versatile utilities with a good combination of impact strength, elongation, and tensile strength. Long-term indoor and outdoor mechanical and color stability. Versatile utilities with a good combination of impact strength, elongation, and tensile strength. Long-term Indoor and Outdoor environmental stability.
