Engineering score profile
Engineering radar
Legacy Impact radar: 8.868 % of legacy rig capacity. This historical visual reference is the mean corrected Flat/Upright result divided by the matching rig capacity; it is not a modern engineering score.
Izod and Charpy use versioned method references and together form one equally weighted impact family. Overall requires all five families and both calibrated methods; incomplete profiles are not ranked. Legacy Impact and thermal are outside Overall. Missing axes have gaps with no marker or filled polygon; measured zero retains a centre marker.

Engineering interpretation
Strengths
- Layer adhesion: 61/100. Z-axis bonding is better than the material-family context.
- Consistency: 82/100. Repeatability is one of the stronger signals in this material profile.
- Izod/Charpy impact family: 17/100. The two-method impact score is competitive against the material-family context.
- Tensile: 40/100. Tensile behavior is competitive against the material-family context.
Limitations
- Izod/Charpy impact family: 17/100. Validate impact or shock-loaded components against their application requirements.
Engineering trade-offs
- Complete scoring evidence and approved method references are required before assessing an overall balance of properties.
Recommended applications
- Parts where Z-axis bonding is important
- Repeatable print jobs and production-style batches
- Cosmetic parts, concept models or low-load prototypes
- Avoid high impact components

Decision guidance
- Overall suitability is unavailable until the required measurements and method references are complete.
- Validate impact-focused or shock-loaded designs against the measured Izod/Charpy results.
