Plastic materials

Material	Description	Feature	Application
ABS	ABS is the most common material for plastic housings in injection molding. Fire protection according to UL95-V0 can be achieved as an ABS-PC blend.	Inexpensiv Rigid and high strengt Tends to warping Printer housing is almost always necessar Toxic gases are produced during printing The surface from your part can be smoothed by acetone fumes Easy to machine	Concept and functioning modelling for building, electrical, automotive industry etc. Non-critical parts such as enclosures.
ASA	ASA is the best plastic material for outdoor components. The material is UV and weather resistant. The colors remain unchanged even after prolonged exposure to the sun.	UV and weather resistant High edge stability Rigid and high strengt Tends to warping Printer housing is almost always necessar Toxic gases are produced during printing Easy to machine
BioFusion	BioFusion from Extrudr is a new generation of special bio-based materials for designers and manufacturers. The filament is very easy to work with, resulting in exceptional results even with little experience. The printed parts have an intense, metallic shine. BioFusion has a temperature resistance of up to 75 ° C.	Super shiny look Temperature resistance up to 75°C Easy processability Very low warping FDA-compliant 100 % recycleable
BVOH	A high quality water soluble support material that can be used with a number of different polymers and easily dissolved in cold water. This environmentally-friendly material provides support for printing objects with overhangs or particularly complex structures. Verbatim BVOH follows the tightest quality controls as standard, ensuring excellent layer-forming and adhesion properties.	Water dissolvable support material Waste can be disposed with household effluent** Excellent layer-forming, emulsifying, adhesive Best in combination with ABS, PLA, and PET material Light- and UV-sensitive High solubility Main applications: Support material for filaments, printing projects with overhangs or complex objects Expensiv
DURABIO	Durabio combines properties of Polycarbonate (PC) and Polymethacrylate (PMMA).	Bio-based Excellent optical and mechanical properties High heat, scratch and abrasion resistance UV resistance BPA free	Concept modelling for the building, electrical and automotive industry. Suitable for outdoor applications.
GreenTEC	GreenTEC comes from our BIO performance range and has been specially developed for high performance applications. The material has a heat resistance of 115°C (VST) and is optimised for high tensile and bending strength. At the same time, it offers a high-quality matte feel. GreenTEC from Extrudr is the ecologically safe alternative to common industrial materials, consisting of 100% renewable raw materials and being biodegradable according to DIN EN ISO 14855. In addition, the raw material has food approval (FDA).	Heat distortion temperature up to 115°C Good tensile and flexural strength Low warping High stability Odourless Biodegradable Made from 100% renewable raw materials
GreenTEC Pro	GreenTEC Pro from Extrudr is part of our BIO Performance range and was developed for high-performance applications. The material has excellent flexural strength and very little warping, as well as a high-quality surface.	GreenTEC Pro is temperature-resistant up to 160 °C Excellent stability Odor-free, food-safe and FDA approved Biodegradable according to DIN EN ISO 14855
HIPS	It is one of the most famous polymers worldwide. Due to the physical properties, HIPS is often used in the packaging industry, the food industry, etc. The firmness and strength of HIPS is very similar to that of ABS. There is HIPS material that is soluble in Lemonesol and therefore an ideal carrier material. It also adheres well to ABS.
PA	PA (Nylon) is the heavyweight champion of 3D printing filaments. Compared to most other FIlaments it is unbeatable in the field of strength, flexibility and durability. Nylon is more difficult to process than most filaments. The material should be stored in a dry and cool place.	Difficult to print High water absorption Tends to warping Printer housing is almost always necessar
PC	Polycarbonate (PC) is one of the strongest, longest lasting and most durable materials. PC has in addition to its technical properties a high-temperature resistance. PC 3D Printer filament is hygroscopic and must, therefore, be stored in a cool, dry place so as not to affect the quality.	Difficult to print
PET-G	PETG is a popular 3D printer filament. The "G" stands for "glycol-modified". This modification makes the filament clearer, less brittle and easier to use. PETG is a good middle ground between ABS and PLA. More flexible and durable than PLA and easier to print than ABS.
PLA	PLA is a biocompatible material that is made from renewable resources. It is easy to process and its properties make it suitable for a wide range of applications.	Easy to print Very little to no warping No printing case required Inexpensiv Available in matt and gloss Available in many colors Difficult to grind Not UV and heat resistant	Wide range of applications including concept modelling and education.
