Material Data Base
The materials listed below are some of the most common FFF materials sorted after the type off FFF equipment they are developed for. The data values are supplied from the vendors, which means that they are not always directly comparable since American and European companies use different test methods. When an interval is given, it means that the material properties are dependent on build parameters, such as laser power, heat, post curing etc. It is also important to know that the orientation of the part during build could have a significant effect on the properties of the part. For more detailed information contact the vendor.
