Heat
Tell us the normal temperature, brief peaks and exposure duration. A short spike and continuous service are different requirements.
Some parts need more than a good fit and correct dimensions. Heat, sustained loads and demanding environments can call for stronger, more capable materials. Reinforced nylons, polycarbonate and PPS offer different balances of stiffness, toughness and resistance - we have the materials for your demands.
Tell us the normal temperature, brief peaks and exposure duration. A short spike and continuous service are different requirements.
Describe forces, vibration and impact. Geometry, print orientation and temperature all matter to the finished part.
Identify the fluids or substances the part will contact, including concentration, temperature and exposure time.
Dry indoor conditions and humid or wet environments? Different materials fit different moisture requirements.
Up to 180°C
Stiff, strong, carbon-filled nylon; highly hygroscopic and sensitive to moisture.
Annealing is recommended
Up to 180°C
Paintable glass-filled nylon for functional parts; high moisture absorption.
Annealing is recommended
Up to 260°C
Heat-resistant resin and carbon fiber composite with low moisture absorption and excellent mechanical properties.
Continuous operation up to 200c for PPS-CF.
* Temperature figures from TDS. These figures do not guarantee continuous service performance; finished-part suitability depends on geometry, load and environment. Please discuss your application with us to select the right material.
