Additive Manufacturing Materials
Prototek is a leading supplier of thermoplastics explicitly designed for additive manufacturing. We offer an extensive selection of over 40 different types of thermoplastics, each with unique properties and advantages. Our range includes popular materials such as ABS, nylon, polycarbonate, and more specialized materials like Ultracur3D 3280 and Ultem.
Our thermoplastics are carefully selected and tested for the highest quality and consistency. We work with some of the industry’s most reputable manufacturers to source the best materials. Our team of experts is always available to assist you in selecting the most suitable material for your project needs.
Choosing the suitable material for your project requires careful consideration of several factors. The material’s mechanical properties, including strength, flexibility, and toughness, are essential in determining its ability to withstand physical stress. Chemical resistance is another crucial factor to consider, as the material should be able to endure exposure to chemicals like acids, bases, and solvents. Cost is also an essential factor, as some materials can be more expensive than others and can impact the overall cost of the finished product. Evaluating these factors thoroughly before selecting the appropriate material for 3D printing is vital.
Additive Manufacturing Finishes
When selecting finishes for additive manufacturing, it’s essential to consider several factors. Firstly, consider the intended use of the finished product, as this will determine the required durability and surface finish. Additionally, the chosen material will impact the available finishes, so selecting a material compatible with the desired finish is crucial. Moreover, some standard finishes for additive manufacturing include bead blasting, polishing, painting, and clear coating. It’s also important to consider each finish’s cost and lead time; for instance, more complex finishes generally require more time and resources. Ultimately, the chosen finish should be suitable for the intended use and enhance the product’s value rather than detract from it.
