Fortus Thermoplastic Material Descriptions

ABSplus thermoplastic (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene):

• Environmentally stable - no appreciable warpage, shrinkage or moisture absorption
• 40 percent stronger than standard ABS material

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:

• Translucent material
• Ideal for automotive tail lens applications
• Good blend of mechanical and aesthetic properties
• Available in translucent natural, red and amber colors

ABS ESD7 (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene-static dissipative):

• Static dissipative with target surface resistance of 10 7 ohms (typical range (10 9-10 6 ohms)
• Makes great assembly tools for electronic and static sensitive products
• Widely used for functional prototypes of cases, enclosures and packaging

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:

• 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:

• FST (flame, smoke, toxicity) certified thermoplastic
• High heat and chemical resistant
• Ideal for commercial transportation applications in airplanes, buses, trains, boats, etc.
