HTS delivers material properties similar to engineering plastics like PEEK, Vespel®, Radel® and Torlon® via additive manufacturing. Unlike many other high-performance photopolymers, HTS is a one pot system leading to higher productivity and less waste.
High strength, HDT, and stiff ceramic-fiber reinforced photopolymer tuned for use in tooling applications such as injection molding or thermoforming. Exhibiting an HDT greater than 300 degrees °C, this material can withstand shots of aggressive plastics such as polycarbonate or ULTEM.
Developed in collaboration with Rogers Corporation, this low-loss dielectric material is used for 3D printing components and devices used in wide bandwidth, high-frequency communication, and sensing systems. Specifically tailored for microwave and mmWave applications, this material can also be metalized through post-processing.
The dielectric constant of devices 3D printed with these materials is tuned using additives and through the use of spatial latticing.
Developed in collaboration with Tethon 3D, High Purity Alumina is an alumina-filled photopolymer that sinters to a final part purity of 99.8% alumina with only 12% shrinkage. This material is a great selection for applications that require high reliability, dielectric strength, corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, or thermal isolation hardness.
Developed in collaboration with Tethon 3D, this mid-grade ceramic is designed for general industry use. This ceramic exhibits a remarkably low 5% shrink upon sintering to deliver high tolerance for both large and small parts that feature high geometric complexity.
A photopolymer that prevents static charge build-up on parts in operating conditions up to 284 °C. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) of small voltages is enough to destroy sensitive electrical components or ignite flammable vapor. Parts made from Fortify’s ESD-HT photopolymer are “static dissipative”, allowing for controlled static discharge with precisely tuned resistivities of 106 Ω/sq.
This material is designed for thermal management applications that require electrical insulation. With a thermal conductivity of up to 2W/mK, TCDR has 10x the conductivity of any other photopolymer while maintaining impressive dielectric strengths over 27 kV/mm.
Fortify’s ESD-Elastomer is the lowest durometer resin available in the 3D printing industry with electrostatically dissipative properties. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) of small voltages is enough to destroy sensitive electrical components or ignite flammable vapor. With a Shore Hardness of 70A and surface resistivity of 105 – 107 Ω/sq, the ESD-Elastomer provides superior protection with the most scalable and highest resolution 3D printing platform. (DLP).
