MATERIAL PROPERTIES

Where relevant, the complete set of mechanical characteristics is provided in accordance with ASTM and ISO standards. All components are conditioned for a minimum of 40 hours at 23 °C and 50% relative humidity in accordance with ASTM recommendations. Physical and mechanical qualities, as well as thermal properties, are all included in material properties.

ISOTROPIC PROPERTIES

Figure 4 technology creates isotropic components, which means that items printed along either the XYZ or Z axis will have equivalent mechanical qualities. Because parts do not need to be orientated to provide the best mechanical characteristics, the degree of freedom for part orientation for mechanical qualities is increased.
