SABIC's Specialties Business ULTEM™ 1010AR Resin is an unreinforced amorphous polyetherimide (PEI) resin that may offer a high glass transition temperature (Tg) of 217°C, improved flow and it contains internal mold release. Features are excellent mechanical, electrical and dimensional properties up to high temperatures. The material may offer very good chemical resistance for an amorphous material and is inherently flame retardant. The material is RoHS compliant. The material is available in opaque and transparent colors.

Formlabs Flexible Resin is excellent for simulating soft-touch materials and adding ergonomic features to multi-material assemblies.

Windform® GF 2.0 is a composite material with a polyamide base, which is filled with glass and aluminum. These updated properties present improvements upon the previous Windform® GF formula with increases in thermal, mechanical and esthetic properties. Windform® GF 2.0 shows a significant improvement in the HDT (almost +8%), as well as increases in tensile strength and elongation strength, offering greater ductility than the previous version. This is useful for various racing applications and applications subject to vibrations. Windform® GF 2.0 also has excellent mechanical properties per unit of density, thanks to its lighter weight. Windform® GF 2.0 is a light gray color, with a radiant metallic sheen, which is appreciated in many design and wind tunnel applications. Improvements in detail reproduction make Windform® GF 2.0 suitable for applications which require accurate and superior surface definition, such as for proof of concept parts, or for mock castings.

VisiJet M5-X is a strong, rigid material with a hybrid ABS/polypropylene-like performance-and-feel that makes brilliant white parts. This material makes bright white parts that look like they've been injection molded. Parts made from this material are rigid, making it an excellent fit for packaging products including bottles, household plastics, piping, valves and other parts that call for stiffness.

Formlabs Flexible 80A is excellent for simulating soft-touch materials and adding ergonomic features to multi-material assemblies.

Stoner, Inc. A324 Rapid Release is specially formulated to release molded silicone rubber, thermoset plastics, rubber, and similar materials.

Farsoon Technologies FS 3300PA-F is considered for use in Powder Bed Fusion, e.g. Laser Sintering. The black powder is optimized for absorbance of Fiber Laser Light for fast melting. It shows good oxidation resistance, good dimensional stability, excellent mechanical properties especially balance of strength and toughness, and easy for processing. Suitable for products with high mechanical properties and toughness requirements, parts manufacturing or smaller parts made with adhesives, as well as complex parts and plastic models, automotive pipelines, brake tubes, stocks, grips, trigger retainers, etc.
