• Typically used to create jigs and fixtures for the assembly of electronic components. Also used for functional prototypes of fuel storage and delivery products, as well as electrical casings, enclosures and packaging
  • ASA has the best surface finish of all the FDM thermoplastics
  • Outstanding UV stability and mechanical properties that match or exceed FDM ABS
  • An excellent material for manufacturing consistently high-quality parts
  • Boasts a wide range of UV stable colours which produce attractive parts suitable for all applications.

    Durable and electrostatic-dissipative thermoplastic
  • Envelope feeding aid used in commercial printing

    ABS-M30

    Stronger than standard FDM ABS material
  • Full-scale vehicle grill – spare part

    NYLON 12

    Primarily used in 3D aerospace, automotive and consumer goods industries
  • Automotive application: motorbike stand

    NYLON 12 CF

    Useful for strong but lightweight tooling applications
