Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D Printed Materials
Our FDM materials are grouped by their intended function and material characteristics, including: General Purpose, High Performance/Engineering grade, and Specialty materials. Stratasys-branded materials are always printed on Fortus FDM platforms, while generic ABS, ASA, and PLA may be printed on other platforms.
General Purpose Materials
- ABS (General Purpose): A generic ABS for general-purpose applications; available in Black, Blue, Dark Grey, Ivory, Red, and White.
- ASA (General Purpose): A generic ASA for general-purpose applications; available in Black, Dark Blue, Dark Gray, Light Gray, Green, Ivory, Orange, Red, White, and Yellow.
- PLA (General Purpose): An economical, rigid plastic for low-wear indoor parts, concept models, and prototyping. PLA is very popular due to its high use in desktop and hobbyist 3D printers. Available in Black, White, Red, and Blue. (View Spec Sheet)
- Stratasys ABS-M30: Great general-purpose material available in Black, White, Red, Blue, Dark Grey and White. Ideal for functional prototypes and low-volume production. (View spec sheet)
- Stratasys ASA: Matches or exceeds the properties of standard ABS and has higher UV stability. Ten colors are available. A strong "go-to" general-purpose material. (View spec sheet)
High Performance Engineered Materials
- Stratasys Nylon 12: Nylon is a ductile and chemical resistant plastic great for rugged applications. This black material is flexible enough for snap fits and is useful in environments that experience high shock and vibration. (View spec sheet)
- Stratasys PC (Polycarbonate): With almost twice the tensile strength of ABS, polycarbonate has superior mechanical and structural properties. Used widely in automotive, aerospace, and other applications that require durability and stability. (View spec sheet)
- Stratasys PC-ABS: The best of both PC and ABS. Higher-strength engineering thermoplastic with slightly more flexibility than standard polycarbonate. (View spec sheet)
- Stratasys Ultem 1010: Flame-retardant high-performance thermoplastic for end-use parts. Certified for food contact and biocompatibility. Widely used in the aviation and transportation industries due to the UL94 classification. (View spec sheet)
- Stratasys Ultem 9085: Flame-retardant high-performance thermoplastic for complex end-use parts. Heavily used in transportation and aerospace, it can also be applied in high-heat mechanical environments. (View spec sheet)
Speciality Materials
- Stratasys ABS-ESD7: Static dissipative ABS ESD (electrostatic dissipative) material. Great for jigs and fixtures in electronic assembly environments. (View spec sheet)
- Stratasys ABS-M30i: Biocompatible ABS material can be gamma or EtO sterilized (ISO 10993 USP Class VI). Well suited for conceptual modeling, tools, and guides. (View spec sheet)
- Stratasys PC-ISO: Biocompatible PC material can be gamma or EtO sterilized (ISO 10993 USP Class VI). Well suited for food and drug packaging as well as medical device manufacturing. (View spec sheet)
