| Applications |
Excellent for fit and form testing.
Ideal for trade show-quality parts via painting and texturing.
Best process for water resistant materials, not waterproof. |
Excellent for High Res applications with complex geometries.
Smooth surface with good impact strength.
Comparable to SLA. |
Excellent for demonstration models with full color printing.
Stiff with good impact strength. |
Ideal for durable, functional parts with a variety of applications.
Capable of producing snap fits and living hinges.
Heat and chemically resistant. |
Ideal for Conceptual models, Engineering models, and Functional testing prototypes.
Good choice for high-heat applications as melting temperature is around 280°F. |
Ideal for < 100 marketing samples.
Production-like attributes (surface finish, color, accuracy & material properties). |
