MODEL MATERIALS AND TIPS
MATERIALS
MATERIALS USED
The F900 system can use a variety of material types:
• ABSi model material used with SR-20 soluble support.
•
ABS-M30 and ABS-M30i model materials used with SR-20, SR-30, or SR-35 soluble support.
•
SR-30 is ductile and dissolves up to three times faster than SR-20.
•
SR-35 is an alternate support material with up to 40% faster dissolve time (geometry dependent)
a
nd longer life of soluble solution than SR-30.
• ABS-ESD7 model material used with SR-30 or SR-35 soluble support.
•
UV resistant ASA model material used with SR-30 or SR-35 soluble support.
•
Nylon 12 model material, which is the first semi-crystalline Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
t
hermoplastic, used with SR-110 soluble support.
• Nylon 12CF model material, which is the first filled FDM thermoplastic, used with SR110 soluble
s
upport.
• Nylon 6 model material used with used with SR-110 soluble support.
•
PC-ABS model material used with SR-20 soluble support.
•
High strength polycarbonate (PC) model material used with PC_S breakaway support or
S
R-100 soluble support.
• PC-ISO model material used with PC_S breakaway support.
•
ULTEM 9085 model material (resin), which is certified for use on commercial aircraft, used with
U
LT_S support material.
• ULTEM 1010 model material (resin), which offers the highest heat resistance, chemical
r
esistance and tensile strength of any FDM thermoplastic, used with U1010S1 support material.
• Polyphenylsulfone (PPSF) model material, which s ideal for applications in caustic and high
h
eat environments, with PPSF_S support material.
• ST130 model material, which is used for sacrificial tooling parts, used with ST130-S support
m
aterial.
