HTS: High Temperature & Strength Photopolymer

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.

Key Material Properties:

  • HDT: >300 C
  • Ultimate Tensile Strength: 90 MPa in Z

Digital Tooling Photopolymer

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.

Key Material Properties:

  • Heat Deflection Temperature (@ 0.455 MPa): > 300 °C
  • Tensile Strength: 90 MPa

Radix™ 3D Printable Dielectric Materials

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.

Key Material Properties:

  • Dielectric Constant: 2.8
  • Dissipation Factor (@ 24 GHz): 0.0046
