What is Copper?

Copper combines good mechanical properties with thermal and electrical conductivity. This alloy can be tested to rough conditions where pure copper cannot be achieved

Copper is a soft, ductile metal used primarily for its electrical and thermal conductivity. Copper’s high conductivity makes it an ideal material for many heat sinks and heat exchangers, power distribution components such as bus bars, manufacturing equipment including spot welding shanks, antennae for RF communications, and more. The ability to print pure copper using Metal X enables geometrically optimized parts that were previously expensive, time consuming, or impossible to make.

Nylon 12 

Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) Plastic PA12 is HP’s nylon plastic with excellent mechanical properties and a slightly grainy finish. In black, it is also available in a smooth and slightly glossy finish. MJF Plastic PA12 is an ideal choice for a wide range of applications from industrial parts to durable end-use goods.

Its strength, durability and stiffness make it great for functional parts, such RC car parts and mounts. It is also popular for home decor, eyewear and games. MJF Plastic PA12 is printed using HP’s Multi Jet Fusion technology and supports very complex geometries and thin features.

HP Polypropylene (PP)

PP is a versatile material ideal for a wide range of automotive, consumer, industrial and medical applications. With its excellent chemical resistance, low moisture absorption and long-term durability, HP High Reusability PP enabled by BASF is ideal for piping, fluid systems and containers.

The versatility of this PP material enables the production of prototypes and final parts offering the same properties as PP for injection moldin

ABS-Like

Standard, ABS-Like (Rigid product line) is a medium viscosity, highly reactive photopolymer resulting in rigid multipurpose parts. It’s typically used for functional prototypes, jigs & fixtures and very detailed parts.

Unlike many traditional photopolymers for 3D printing, Industrial, ABS - Like is environmentally stable and maintains its mechanical properties even when exposed to UV light or humidity. Printed parts exhibit high green strength and accuracy with no moisture absorption.

Nylon 11/ PA

PA11 is a biocompatible nylon material that is durable and flexible, making it optimal for use in exterior medical applications. Our PA11 is printed using SLS technology, which uses a laser to sinter nylon powder into plastic layer by layer. It is tensile, durable, and impact-resistant with high elongation at break. PA11 is offered in a natural white finish.

Nylon 12/PA

Versatile Plastic fis a durable nylon plastic that can be used for a wide range of applications, both for prototyping and for end products. Printed using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), when thin, it’s flexible enough for hinges and springs and when thick, it’s strong enough for structural components.
