SLS Nylon 12 is our most popular LS material when it comes to rapid manufacturing. It is white in color and combines strength, durability and chemical resistance. Producing strong, durable and end use prototype parts. SL parts are superior to FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) parts in that they are less porous, more precise and have less noticeable build lines.
This Rapid Prototyping nylon material has certain additives in the raw material that allows it to pass aeronautic standard FAR25.853 smoke, flame, and toxicity tests. This material is ideal for aeronautic applications and any other application that needs self extinguishing properties for rapid prototype parts or V0 flammability ratings. Flammability Test Results.
Castform is a wax infiltrated polystyrene prototype material used to fabricate master patterns made of wax for foundries. Prototype aluminum castings are the most popular for this material. Larger bulkier parts with complex geometries work best for this method of 3D printing using wax.
Prodways TPU-70A is a fine powder based on Thermoplastic Urethane, specifically formulated to function on laser sintering- or radiation-based additive manufacturing systems. It enables the manufacturing of prototypes, presentation models and functional parts in elastomeric plastic with High detail resolution, Good chemical resistance, Flexible and smooth.
Axis Prototypes is a great supplier to work with. They provided more than enough information to make an informed decision on alternatives.
