Material Properties
Stratasys offers high-performance engineering materials for building detailed functional prototypes. These materials are used in a variety of applications such as conceptualization, form, fit, function, tooling patterns, tool design, tool building, sales presentations and as marketing materials.
ABS: Durable engineering grade plastic. Typical applications include:
form-fit-function, concept modeling, feature detail, snap-fits, vacuum metalization and electroplating, investment casting and as a master for RTV molding and vacuum forming. Offered in a variety of colors. ABS material can be used on Vantage i, Vantage S, Vantage SE, Titan, and Maxum systems.
Material Properties
ABSi: Durable engineering grade plastic with higher impact strength than normal ABS. Its appearance is semi-translucent. Typical applications include: Automotive lenses or other applications where transparency is required. Offered in a variety of colors. ABSi material can be used on the Maxum system.
Polycarbonate-ABS Blend (PC-ABS): A blend of polycarbonate (PC) and ABS plastic. PC-ABS combines the strength of PC with the flexibility of ABS. PC-ABS blends are used in production of parts for the automotive, electronic, telecommunications, and toy industries, among others. The blend from Stratasys has excellent thermal and mechanical properties. It is significantly stronger than ABS, and feature detail is similar to that of Stratasys ABS modeling material. PC-ABS material can be used on Vantage S, Vantage SE, and Titan systems.
Material Properties
Polycarbonate (PC): Durable high performance plastic. Typical applications include:
form-fit-function, concept modeling, snap-fits, vacuum metalization and electroplating, and as a master for RTV molding and vacuum forming. PC has a higher impact strength and can handle higher temperatures than ABS. PC material can be used on Prodigy Plus, Vantage I, Vantage S, Vantage SE, and Titan systems.
Material Properties
Polycarbonate-ISO (PC-ISO): Durable high performance plastic typically for medical applications. PC-ISO meets both ISO 10993-1 and USP Class VI standards. PC-ISO can be sterilized using either the gamma radiation or ethylene oxide (EtO) method. PC-ISO material can be used on Vantage S, Vantage SE, and Titan systems.
Material Properties
Polyphenylsulfonen (PPSF): High performance, heat and chemical resistant material. Typical applications include: Automotive, Aerospace or any application where your part needs to be functionally tested in an environment of heat or chemicals. PC-ISO material can be used on the Titan system.
Material Properties
Support Material: WaterWorks can be used with ABS, ABSi and PC-ABS BASS breakaway can be used with PC, PC-ISO and PPSF
