Two materials stand out for 3D parts tough enough to take the rigors of immediate field
use upon printing: Nylon and PC-ABS.. Two materials are ready for vehicle components:
the Flame, Smoke and Toxicity VO rated ULTEM 9085 and the gasoline, motor oil and
wiper fluid resistant PPSF. And one material is specifically designed for protecting
electrical components from static shock and dust: ABS-ESD7.

ISO 10993 biocompatible in their raw, printed state, these materials allow medical
designers to test prototypes and even create end-use parts right in the office.
ULTEM 1010 is the high strength, high-temp choice, PC-ISO is invisible to MRI machines
and a blend of strength and toughness, and ABS-M30i is the most durable material with
the widest selection of printable colors.MANUFACTURING

Correct fixtures can mean the difference between fast, repeatable manufacturing or
fast trips to repeated downtime. Now your manufacturing aids can map to every
feature of your product directly, since they were printed using the exact CAD model the
designers used.
Dimensionally stable, tough to last through 1000's of uses, 3D printed jigs and fixtures
can also help in inspection, size verification and packaging.

Consumer and focus group test products place a very high value on aesthetics.
Whether it is using Tango to get an ergonomic, rubberized over-mold right out of the
printer, or VeroClear to have LED covers or displays that actually transmit light, or
GD525 or DigitalABS to get smooth, finished parts, your looks-like, feels-like models
can be done in days instead of weeks.
