Recommended applications

  • Rigid brackets, fixtures and shape-stable prototypes
  • Parts where Z-axis bonding is important
  • Repeatable print jobs and production-style batches

Measured strengths

  • Layer adhesion: 71/100. Z-axis bonding is better than the material-family context.
  • Consistency: 84/100. Repeatability is one of the stronger signals in this material profile.
  • Impact: 52/100. Impact behavior is competitive against the material-family context.
  • Tensile: 35/100. Tensile behavior is competitive against the material-family context.

Limitations

  • Tensile: 35/100. Avoid using this as the primary choice for tensile-loaded parts.

Engineering trade-offs

  • Good repeatability does not compensate for low tensile capability in load-bearing designs.
