Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate Copolymer) is also a general-purpose thermoplastic 3D printing consumable with similar mechanical properties as ABS, but ASA has excellent UV resistance and better chemical resistance.

Applications: Typically used for outdoor products, outdoor assembly parts, automotive parts, etc.

PLA (Polylactic Acid) is an environmentally friendly plasticizer with excellent biodegradability. It is a basic material for FDM, with excellent tensile strength, high hardness, good physical properties, low shrinkage, not durable, not temperature resistant, easy to soften and deform around 60℃. For some performance requirements are not high is widely used.

Applications: prototype design, creative animation, architectural models, toys, decorations, etc..

PC (polycarbonate) is a strong thermoplastic, which is characterized by impact resistance, high rigidity, heat resistance and flame retardancy. As a result, PC can absorb impacts, prevent deformation or rupture, and maintain dimensional stability even at high temperatures (120°C).

Applications: Typically used in the production of rigid parts, functional testing, assembly and manufacturing of finished parts, jigs and fixtures, and inspection fixtures.

PETG (polyethylene terephthalate) is an amorphous copolyester. It has certain transparency, shrinkage resistance, dimensional stability and chemical resistance, and is easy to process.

Applications: prototyping, functional testing, parts assembly, toys and decorations, etc.

PA nylon (polyamide) is a widely used engineering plastic, usually PA6/6.6. Well-balanced properties, good rigidity, toughness and impact resistance, excellent mechanical properties, high resistance to high temperatures (around 180°C) and low coefficient of friction.

Applications: production of engineering parts, tools, ergonomic tools and moving parts.

PA6-CF (Reinforced Nylon Carbon Fiber) is a composite engineering plastic with high strength, light weight, high stiffness, high impact resistance, and resistance to thermal deformation. It has better high temperature resistance (210℃), and the surface of the printed parts is matte with certain flame retardant.

Applications: electronic equipment shells, jigs and fixtures, jigs and fixtures, automotive parts, assembly parts, etc.

PA6-GF (reinforced nylon glass fiber) and nylon carbon fiber materials with similar characteristics, print parts have high rigidity, high strength, high toughness, corrosion resistance and temperature resistance (190 ℃).

Applications: electronic housings, automotive parts, jigs and fixtures, consumer electronics, home appliances, etc.

TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer rubber), with abrasion resistance, high strength, high elasticity, outstanding cold resistance, oil resistance, water resistance, mold resistance, good flexibility.

Applications: automotive parts, footwear, tubing, sports equipment design, fashion design and medical rehabilitation applications.

TPE is a thermoplastic elastomer material with high strength, high resilience, excellent coloring, soft touch, wear-resistant, aging-resistant, easy to process, environmentally friendly and recyclable.

Applications: hoses, shoe soles, toys, fitness equipment, sports equipment, kitchen utensils and so on.

PEEK (polyether ether ketone) a linear aromatic polymer materials, excellent performance of special engineering plastics, can replace the metal. It has high mechanical properties, high temperature resistance, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, flame retardant and biocompatibility.

Applications: aerospace, automotive manufacturing, electrical and electronic, petrochemical, medical, household appliances, etc.
