ABS-M30 thermoplastic (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene):

25-70 percent stronger than standard ABS material Greater tensile, impact, and flexural strength
Layer bonding is significantly stronger for a more durable part. Versatile Material: Good for form, fit and moderate functional applications

ABS-M30i thermoplastic (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene):

Biocompatible (ISO 10993 certified) material Ideal material for medical, pharmaceutical and food packaging industries Sterilizable using gamma radiation or ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization methods

ABSi thermoplastic:

Translucent material
Ideal for automotive tail lens applications. Good blend of mechanical and aesthetic properties
Available in translucent natural, red and amber colors

PC-ABS thermoplastic (polycarbonate acrylonitrile butadiene styrene):

Most desirable properties of both PC and ABS materials. Superior mechanical properties and heat resistance of PC. Excellent feature definition and surface appeal of ABS
Highest impact strength

PC thermoplastic (polycarbonate):

Most widely used industrial thermoplastic
Accurate, durable, and stable for strong parts
Superior mechanical properties and heat resistant
High tensile strength and can handle high temperatures

PC-ISO thermoplastic:

Biocompatible (ISO 10993 certified) material
Ideal material for medical, pharmaceutical and food packaging industries
Sterilizable using gamma radiation or ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization methods
Best fit for applications requiring higher strength and sterilization
PPSF/PPSU thermoplastic (polyphenylsulfone):

Highest heat and chemical resistance of all FDM materials
Mechanically superior material, greatest strength
Sterilizable via steam autoclave, EtO, plasma, chemical, and radiation sterilization
Ideal for applications in caustic and high heat environments
Material loading:

ULTEM 9085

FST (flame, smoke, toxicity) certified thermoplastic
High heat and chemical resistant
Ideal for commercial transportation applications in airplanes, buses, trains, boats, etc.


Base System has 2 auto load canister bays of 92 cubic inches each, 1 for the model material and 1 for the support material

Upgrade system has 4 auto load canister bays of 92 cubic inches each, 2 for the model material and 2 for the support material. Simple and safe loading.

Support materials:

WaterWorks (used with all ABS thermoplastics including PC-ABS):

Soluble supports are simply dissolved in a water based solution, resulting in a part with smooth surface finish and fine details intact. No hand processing is required. WaterWorks support material is delivered in canister or cartridge form for ease of use and safety in handling.

BASS breakaway support material (used with PC, PC-ISO, and PPSF):

Supports are either broken or cut from part leaving smooth surface finish and fine details intact. No hand processing is required.
