ABS-Like Black (Accura 7820)
ABS-Like Black is a durable material for general purpose prototyping. Its deep black color and glossy, cosmetic up-facing surfaces offer the appearance of a molded part. Part sidewalls and down-facing surfaces will have a matte finish. The material has good dimensional stability and moisture resistance.
ABS-Like Gray (Accura Xtreme Gray)
ABS-Like Gray is a widely used, all-purpose material that provides flexibility relative to other SLA resins. It is an ideal stereolithography material for durability and heat tolerance. Parts built with ABS-Like Gray will have a look and feel similar to an injection-molded part.
PA 12 Mineral-Filled (PA620-MF)
This 25% mineral-filled nylon offers the highest stiffness among Protolabs’ selective laser sintering materials. It’s an excellent choice when stiffness and high temperature resistance are the most important requirements.
PA11 Black (PA850)
PA 11 Black provides excellent ductility and temperature resistance without sacrificing tensile strength. It offers one of the highest elongation break thresholds in the nylon family.
PC-Like Advanced High Temp (Accura 5530)
PC-Like Advanced High Temp is best used for parts that need strength and stiffness combined with high temperature resistance. With a thermal post-cure, the part’s heat deflection can be improved even further, but at the expense of durability.
PC-Like Translucent/Clear (Accura 60)
PC-Like Translucent is ideal for parts with fine details that require translucence and high stiffness. Custom finishing is required to achieve functional clarity. It has a high tensile strength and modulus, making it ideal for prototyping parts similar to molded polycarbonate.
Aluminum
Aluminum (AlSi10Mg) is comparable to a 3000 series alloy that is used in casting and die casting processes. It has good strength-to-weight ratio, high temperature and corrosion resistance, and good fatigue, creep and rupture strength. Material property values below are measured after stress relief.
Stainless Steel 316L
Stainless steel 316L is a workhorse material used for manufacturing acid and corrosion resistant parts. Final parts built in 316L receive stress relief application. Material property values below are measured after stress relief.
Titanium
Titanium (Ti6Al4V) is a workhorse alloy. The mechanical properties of Ti6Al4V are comparable to wrought titanium for tensile strength, elongation, and hardness. Final parts built in Ti6Al4V receive vacuum stress relief application. Material property values below are measured after stress relief.
