• Stratasys FDM ST-130

ST-130TM is a model material for sacrificial tooling that simplifies the production of hollow composite parts. Complex tools can be 3D printed and easily dissolved after curing, eliminating secondary processes like mold making and accelerating the development and production of composite structures. Engineered and tested specifically for sacrificial tooling, ST-130 withstands the heat and pressure of autoclave curing. And it 3D prints with a permeable triangle fill pattern designed to optimize build speed, conserve material and dissolve quickly.

ST-130 is available on the Fortus 450mcTM and Fortus 900mcTM 3D Printers. This solution provides increased ease of use, improved part yield, and quality – and is ideal for automotive, aerospace, and sporting goods industries.

It offers performance capabilities similar to PEEK and PEKK but without the challenges of 3D printing those materials. Victrex AM 200 is formulated to provide dimensional stability and optimal interlayer bonding (Z-strength).

  • Stratasys PLA

PLA is a renewable plastic material offered as a low-cost option for fast-draft part iterations. Available on the office-friendly Stratasys F123™ Series 3D printers, PLA offers a higher stiffness than ABS, and its low melting point and HDT mean less heat and power required to print parts.

PLA works well at high speeds, specifically fastdraft mode on the Stratasys F123 Series, for quick concept verification and design development. PLA offers good tensile strength and is available in various colors, including various translucent colors. Ideal applications for PLA include fast, early concept modeling and low-cost prototyping.

  • Stratasys PPSU FDM Materials

PPSF/PPSU (polyphenylsulfone) material has the greatest heat and chemical resistance of all Fortus® materials - ideal for aerospace, automotive and medical applications. PPSF parts manufactured on Fortus 3D Printers are not only mechanically superior, but also dimensionally accurate, to better predict end-product performance. Users can also sterilize PPSF via steam autoclave, EtO sterilization, plasma sterilization, chemical sterilization and radiation*. PPSF gives you the ability to manufacture parts direct from digital files that are ideal for conceptual modeling, functional prototyping, manufacturing tools and production parts.

  • Stratasys FDM Materials

PPSF (polyphenylsulfone) is a high-temperature, high-strength, and chemically resistant FDM material. While ideal for demanding applications, the durability and chemical resistance make finishing PPSF parts with sandpaper or solvents difficult and time-consuming.

When smooth surfaces are needed, hand sanding or milling are the two options most often used. Resistant to abrasion, PPSF makes hand sanding a laborious task that can consume hours. While a finishing pass with a CNC mill can make short work of surface smoothing, it negates many of the advantages of the FDM process. To prepare for machining, time is needed for CAM programming and machine set-ups. Machining also requires that an operator oversees the process.

If PPSF is used to make tools or molds, there is a new and faster alternative for surface smoothing, thermoforming. A thin sheet of plastic is drawn onto the surface of the PPSF part. While it conforms to the part’s shape, the plastic sheet does not transfer the layer lines to the outer surface. To preserve the mechanical, thermal, and chemical advantages of PPSF, the thermoforming process uses sheets of plastic made from PEEK resin. Versus hand sanding, PEEK thermoforming can reduce lead time by 75 percent
and cost by 90 percent (table 1).
