PPSF / PPSU (Polyphenylsulfone)

Production-grade Thermoplastic

PPSF / PPSU (polyphenylsulfone) material has the greatest heat and chemical resistance of all Stratasys materials – ideal for aerospace, automotive and medical applications.

PPSF parts manufactured on our Stratasys 3D Printers are not only mechanically superior, but also dimensionally accurate, to better predict end-product performance. We can also sterilize PPSF via steam autoclave, EtO sterilization, plasma sterilization, chemical sterilization and radiation.

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) Service

Advantages of parts built with a Stratasys FDM 3D Printer

Tough long-lasting parts

FDM technology works with engineering-grade thermoplastics to build strong, long-lasting and dimensionally stable parts with the best accuracy and repeatability of any 3D printing technology.

FDM parts are tough enough to be used as advanced conceptual models, functional prototypes, manufacturing tools and production parts.

Meet production demands

Our FDM production machines are as versatile and durable as the parts they produce.

With the largest build envelopes and material capacities in their class, we can provide longer, uninterrupted build times, bigger parts and higher quantities than other additive manufacturing service providers.

Gain new possibilities

TriMech's FDM 3D printing service will help to streamline your business processes from design through manufacturing, reducing costs and eliminating traditional barriers along the way.
