Materials

The Fortus 380mc and F370 3D printers are designed to build parts using a variety of production-grade thermoplastic FDM® materials, including the latest ASA material. ASA gives you all the benefits of ABS-M30 plus UV stability and better aesthetics. Our Fortus 380mc and F370  machines are licensed to run them all.

Description of ASA material

ASA

In addition to being slightly stronger than ABS-M30, ASA has greater resistance to UV and better aesthetics. ASA is an excellent choice for parts exposed to the elements. Available colors are light grey, white, ivory, black, blue, yellow, green, and red.

Description of ABS-ESD7 materialABS-ESD7

ABS-ESD7 is a good material for use around static-sensitive products. Its uses include electronic jigs, fixtures, and mounts.

Description of ABS-M30 materialABS-M30

ABS-M30 is stronger than standard ABS and is a good all-around material choice that boasts excellent tensile, impact, and flexural strength. It is available in black or white.

Description of ABS-M30i materialABS-M30i

ABS-M30i is bio-compatible and suitable for medical, pharmaceutical, and food packaging.

Available upon request.

Description of FDM Nylon 12 materialNylon 12

Nylon is a tough material that has good resistance to fatigue. This makes it a great choice for snap fit parts.

Description of PC materialPC

PC has exceptional mechanical properties and heat resistance. It is a good choice for parts that will be exposed to higher mechanical stresses.

Description of PC-ABS material

PC-ABS

PC-ABS is a high-impact engineering thermoplastic ideal for functional prototyping, tooling, and low-volume manufacturing. PC-ABS also delivers excellent feature definition and surface finish.

 

Description of PC-ISO materialPC-ISO

PC-ISO is bio-compatible with greater strength and thermal properties than ABS-M30. It is a good choice for parts or tooling used in the food, drug, and medical industries.

Available upon request.

Description of FDM TPU 92A material

TPU-92A

FDM TPU 92A is a resilient thermoplastic polyurethane combining flexibility and stretch with abrasion and tear resistance.

Description of Diran 410MF07 material

Diran 410MF07

Diran™ 410MF07 is a nylon-based thermoplastic FDM material that is 7% mineral-filled by weight. It offers excellent toughness and impact strength combined with resistance to hydrocarbon-based chemicals. With a smooth, lubricious surface and low sliding resistance, it is effective for applications needing a non-marring interface between the tool and the workpiece.
