Applications
Excellent for Fit and Form Testing.
Ideal for trade show-quality parts via painting and texturing.
Best process for water resistant materials, not waterproof.
Excellent for flexible applications.
Simulates the feel of TPE materials.
Needs no additional curing or post-processing.
Excellent for High Res applications with complex geometries.
Smooth surface with good impact strength.
Comparable to SLA.
Ideal for durable, functional parts with a variety of applications.
Capable of producing snap fits and living hinges.
Heat and chemically resistant.
Ideal for Conceptual models, Engineering models, and Functional testing prototypes.
Good choice for high-heat applications as melting temperature is around 280°F.
Ideal for < 100 marketing samples.
Production-like Attributes (surface finish, color, accuracy & Material Properties).
