FORTUS Thermoplastic Material Descriptions
Fortus systems produce parts in real thermoplastic materials that are tough enough for prototyping, functional testing or producing manufacturing tools and end-use parts. Real production thermoplastics are stable and have no appreciable warpage, shrinkage, or moisture absorption, like the resins and powders in some competitive processes. Parts produced from a Fortus system are the most, accurate and durable
ABS M30 Thermoplastic (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene):
- 25-70 percent stronger than standard ABS material
- Greater tensile, impact, and flexural strength
- Layer bonding is significantly stronger for a more durable part
- Versatile Material: Good for form, fit and moderate functional applications
ABS M30i Thermoplastic (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene):
- Biocompatible (ISO 10993 certified) material
- Ideal material for medical, pharmaceutical and food packaging industries
- Sterilizable using gamma radiation or ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization methods
ABSi Thermoplastic (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene):
- Translucent materialIdeal for automotive tail lens applications
- Good blend of mechanical and aesthetic properties
- Available in translucent natural, red and amber colors
ABS-ESD7 Thermoplastic (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene-electrostatic dissipative):
- ABS thermolastive with disipative properties
- Ideal for electrical parts
- Widely used to create jigs and fixtures for assembly
- Great for functional prototypes for fuel storage and delivery products
PC-ABS Thermoplastic (Polycarbonate Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene):
- Most desirable properties of both PC and ABS materials
- Superior mechanical properties and heat resistance of PC
- Excellent feature definition and surface appeal of ABS
- Highest impact strength
PC Thermoplastic (Polycarbonate):
- Most widely used industrial thermoplastic
- Accurate, durable, and stable for strong parts
- Superior mechanical properties and heat resistant
- High tensile strength and can handle high temperatures
PC-ISO Thermoplastic (Polycarbonate):
- Biocompatible (ISO 10993 certified) material
- Ideal material for medical, pharmaceutical and food packaging industries
- Sterilizable using gamma radiation or ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization methods
- Best fit for applications requiring higher strength and sterilization
PPSF/PPSU Thermoplastic (Polyphenylsulfone):
- Highest heat and chemical resistance of all FDM materials
- Mechanically superior material, greatest strength
- Sterilizable via steam autoclave, EtO, plasma, chemical, and radiation sterilization
- Ideal for applications in caustic and high heat environments
ULTEM 9085 Thermoplastic (Polyphenylsulfone):
- FST (flame, smoke, toxicity) certified thermoplastic
- High heat and chemical resistant
- Ideal for commercial transportation applications in airplanes, buses, trains, boats, etc
