Description |
Builds by melting very thin layers of polyamid (nylon) plastic into each other with laser. Result is very durable, and can even be strengthened with aluminum or mineral glass A great choice for series and larger models |
A technology that involves a liquid acrylic material that hardens when hit by UV-light. It builds layer by layer to extreme precision. A good choice for detailed models and prototypes. A combination of two materials in the same print (with different hardness)is possible |

Materials |
PA2200 White Flexible plastic that som is suitable for locking mechanisms, cogs and other parts that needs to be durable, but still precise. Good for prototyping PA3200 GF Polyamide with glass particles. Hard models. Alumide Polyamid with aluminium. Light gray models that are thermally conductive. Can be used to make injection molds and things that has to withstand heat. |
