SLA materials

SLA materials include Accura Xtreme Grey

SLA Materials

Stereolithography (SLA) is a high-resolution process that uses ultraviolet (UV) light to cure a thermoset liquid in layers. It supports the following materials:

  • Accura 25 is a durable, flexible 3D printing material with a hardness of 80 Shore D.
  • Accura 60 produces strong, rigid parts with the look and feel of polycarbonate.
  • Accura ClearVue is translucent and moisture-resistant with a smooth, durable finish.
  • Accura Xtreme White 200 is a tough, high-performance resin with high impact resistance.
  • Accura Xtreme Grey compares well to engineering plastics and has an opaque grey color.

SLS materials

SLS materials include Nylon 12 Glass-Filled (Duraform GF)

SLS Materials

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) uses a high-power laser to sinter particles of powdered material. SLS materials include nylon and glass-filled nylon 12, which is also known as Duraform GF.

  • Nylon is strong and durable with a thermal resistance up to 177° C.
  • Glass-filled nylon adds powdered glass to nylon resin for improved strength and heat resistance.

Polyjet materials

Polyjet materials include Vero

Polyjet Materials

Polyjet 3D printing can produce thin walls and complex geometries with a microscopic layer resolution and fine accuracy. Most Polyjet materials are available in two days or less and include: 

  • ABS-Like material is similar to injection-molded ABS and has a high resolution.
  • Rubber-Like material is used to simulate rubbers between 27 and 95 Shore A.
  • Vero has a 16-micron resolution, making it a good choice for visual models.
  • VeroClear can replace clear parts or be used to produce light pipes.

MJF materials

MJF materials include Polypropylene

MJF Materials

Multijet fusion (MJF) supports complex, lower-cost parts such as thin-wall ductwork and connectors. In addition to nylon and nylon 11, MJF materials include polypropylene.

  • Nylon is a good choice for prototyping and bridge-level production. 
  • Nylon 11 is a non-biodegradable, polyamide bioplastic that is derived from vegetable oil.  
  • Polypropylene is durable with good chemical resistance and low moisture absorption.

FDM materials

FDM materials include ABS ESD

FDM Materials

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) feeds a continuous filament of a thermoplastic through a heated printed extruded head so that the material is deposited on the growing work. FDM materials include:

  • ABS is mechanically strong and cost-effective, making it a good choice for prototypes.
  • ABS ESD, or ESD ABS, protects objects sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
  • ASA is chemically similar to ABS but offers better mechanical properties and is UV resistant.
  • PC+ABS is a flame-retardant blend of polycarbonate plastic and ABS.
  • Polycarbonate (PC) combines impact resistance with transparency.
  • PETG has the functionality of ABS and the cost-effectiveness of PLA.
  • PLA is made of biodegradable corn starch and is ideal for inexpensive parts that do not need great accuracy.

Carbon DLS Materials

Carbon DLS 3D printing involves selectively curing a liquid polymer resin using digital light projection, similar to SLA 3D printing. The process creates a “dead zone” that allows layers to be built on each other without sticking to the platform, enabling easier part removal. Parts printed with carbon DLS offer high homogeneity and isometric properties, providing the same strength regardless of print orientation. 

Pro-Tip: To learn more about the Carbon DLS process, check out our Guide to Carbon DLS 3D Printing

The carbon DLS process is compatible with many proprietary materials that can be grouped in the following categories:

  • Rigid Materials: EPX 82, EPX 86FR, RPU 70, Loctite 3D 3843, Loctite 3D IND147, Loctite 3D IND405, MPU 100, FPU 50, and UMA 90
  • Elastomeric Materials: EPU 40, EPU 41, and SIL 30
