    Features & Benefits

    Features

    Excellent chemical resistance, temperature resistance, toughness, and dimensional stability. Good interlayer adhesion (especially when using the front enclosure add-on). Good bed adhesion (especially when using the adhesion sheets). And low levels of ultrafine particles (UFPs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Allows printing of translucent parts with the transparent filament option

    Technical Details & Test Data

    Notes

    Properties reported here are average of a typical batch. The 3D printed test specimens were printed in the XY plane, using the normal quality profile in Ultimaker Cura 2.1, an Ultimaker 2+, a 0.4 mm nozzle, 90% infill, 250 °C nozzle temperature, and 70 °C. The values are the average of five white and five black specimens for the tensile, flexural, and impact tests. The Shore hardness D was measured in a 7-mm-thick square printed using the normal quality profile in Utlimaker Cura 2.5, an Ultimaker 3, a 0.4 mm print core, and 100% infill. The electrical properties were measured on a 54-mm-diameter disk with 3 mm thickness printed in the XY plane, using the fine quality profile (0.1 mm layer height) in Ultimaker Cura 3.2.1, an Ultimaker 3, a 0.4 mm print core, and 100% infill.
