Product Description
Applications
  • Functional prototypes and end-use parts that require high stiffness and/or elevated thermal resistance
  • Typical Applications include:
  • UAV structural components
  • Housings and enclosures
  • Impellers
  • Connectors
  • Consumer sporting goods

Features
  • High specific stiffness
  • Elevated temperature resistance
  • Anisotropic mechanical properties just like fiber-filled, injection molded materials
  • Non-conductive and RF transparent
  • Easy-to-finish surface

Benefits
  • Functional prototypes can be tested in "real life" environments
  • Complex end-use parts can be economically manufactured in low-to-medium volumes
  • Excels in load-bearing applications at higher temperatures
  • Attractive surface finish
