//The benefits of ABS with the stiffness of carbon fiber.
Stratasys ABS-CF10 is a composite* material that combines the benefits of a carbon fiber filament with the desirable mechanical properties and ease of use of ABS 3D printing material. The result is an engineering thermoplastic with superior strength and rigidity for factory floor tooling applications.
Significantly reduce your tooling lead time by 3D printing them with Stratasys ABS-CF10 instead of machining. Depending on the application, carbon-reinforced ABS can replace metal for lighter, more ergonomic tooling. Combined with soluble support, Stratasys ABS-CF10 can achieve complex geometries that aren’t possible with machining.
ABS-CF10 is compatible with QSR soluble support material.
*A composite is a material made from two or more different materials that, when combined, are stronger than those individual materials by themselves.

//Ideal for prototyping highly functional, large, durable, complex elastomer parts.
FDM TPU 92A is a thermoplastic polyurethane with a Shore A value of 92. The material exhibits high elongation, superior toughness, durability and abrasion resistance and is the only elastomer material with REAL soluble support on the easiest to use rapid prototyping 3D printer.
FDM TPU 92A brings the benefits of elastomers to FDM 3D printing and offers the capability to quickly produce large and complex elastomer parts. It also eliminates expensive and time-consuming molding or casting methods to produce elastomer parts. Typical applications include flexible hoses, tubes, air ducts, seals, protective covers and vibration dampeners.

//3D print in high-impact engineering thermoplastic.
Engineers and designers use PC-ABS in demanding applications like power-tool prototyping and industrial equipment manufacturing. 3D printing in real engineering thermoplastics results in stronger parts, more confident testing and prototypes that mimic the material properties of the final product.
PC-ABS is a composite* material that works with soluble support material, meaning support removal is hands-free and complex parts with deep internal cavities take no extra effort, and is available in black.

//Build strong parts in engineering thermoplastic
PC and FDM Technology produce functional prototypes, tooling and end-use parts in a familiar, durable engineering material. PC’s high tensile and flexural strength make it ideal for demanding prototyping needs, tooling and fixtures, and patterns for metal bending and composite work. Low-volume manufacturing and customization become feasible, and testing provides more confidence.
PC is available in white and works with breakaway and soluble support materials. For maximum unattended build time, PC is available in Xtend 500 Fortus Plus (500 cubic inches of material) boxes for compatible systems.

//High strength, high stiffness-to-weight ratio, and chemical resistance.
FDM Nylon-CF10 is a nylon carbon fiber filament. The base polymer is filled 10% by weight with chopped carbon, which produces a composite* material 67% stronger and 190% stiffer than the nylon base material. FDM Nylon-CF10 is also possesses good chemical resistance, toughness and abrasion resistance.
The material’s strength and rigidity make it an excellent choice to replace metal for appropriate workholding fixtures and other manufacturing tooling. Its chemical resistance is also a desirable feature in an environment exposed to typical manufacturing fluids. FDM Nylon-CF10 possesses a uniform matte finish that produces a visually appealing surface finish.
*A composite is a material made from two or more different materials that, when combined, are stronger than those individual materials by themselves.

//Superior strength and toughness
FDM Nylon 6 offers the best combination of strength and toughness of any FDM material. It works with the Fortus 900mc to build durable prototypes that accurately predict functional performance, manufacturing tools that withstand the rigors of a production environment, or low-volume production parts that meet high functional requirements.
FDM Nylon 6 is available in black and uses soluble support material.
Applications:
- Build jigs, fixtures, guides, guards and other manufacturing aids that require good tensile and mechanical strength.
- Test the functional performance of components like pedals, handles, bindings, gears, joints, bearings, fasteners and covers before investing in tooling.
- Eliminate the time and cost of tooling for low-volume, high-requirement parts on aircraft or industrial machinery by manufacturing them on the Fortus 900mc.
