Features
• High specific stiffness
• Elevated temperature resistance
• Anisotropic mechanical properties just like fiber-filled, injection molded materials
• Non-conductive and RF transparent
• Easy-to-finish surface
Applications
• Complex, thin-wall duct work
• Functional prototypes that approach end-use performance properties
• Appropriate for low- to mid-volume rapid manufacturing
• Medical applications requiring USP Class VI compliance, or bio-compatibility
• Motorsports
• Aerospace
• Housing and enclosures
• Impellers and connectors
• Consumer sporting goods
• Vehicle dashboards and grilles
• Snap-fit designs
• Parts requiring machining or joining with adhesives
Benefits
Benefits
• Functional prototypes can be tested in “real life” environments
• Complex end-use parts can be economically manufactured in low-to-medium volumes
• Excels in load-bearing applications at higher temperatures
• Attractive surface finish
