MATERIAL OVERVIEW
Properties to guide your selection.
A low-warping thermoplastic with useful rigidity for visual models and early design checks. It is a practical choice when appearance and straightforward prototyping matter more than heat resistance.
Selection considerations
Consider another material when heat or repeated impact is a priority.
