Materials Used in FDM by Stratasys

Mechanical properties and thermal properties are listed in Tables 15.1 and 15.2. ABS-M30 is 25-70% stronger than conventional ABS and is used for functional parts, tooling, and end-use parts. It has greater tensile strength, impact, and flexural strength. Specimens were 0.3175 cm (0.125 in.) thick. The properties listed for FDM Material PC show that the PC is stronger than the ABS material. Another FDM material is a PC-ABS copolymer that offers the superior strength of PC and the
