A source for each grade

We use the matching Machines-3D product documentation. Where it omits the current grade, the matching manufacturer sheet is identified instead. Missing values are not replaced with estimates.

Gauge scales

Fixed scales: flexural modulus 0–8,000 MPa; HDT 0–300°C; impact 0–150 kJ/m². These are not quality scores. Charpy and Izod, and notched and unnotched tests, are not interchangeable. J/m is shown without a kJ/m² gauge.

Test conditions

Check test method, load, print orientation, conditioning and annealing in the technical data sheet before comparing materials.

Application choices provide a starting shortlist. Materials are listed alphabetically within each application. Validate the printed part in its actual operating conditions.
