Ultem 9085 is a pioneering thermoplastic that is strong, lightweight and flame-retardant (passes the UL 94 V0 test). With its superior mechanical performance and strength-to-weight ratio, Ultem 9085 is suitable for end-use production-grade components, particularly in the aerospace and automotive industries. Other applications including highly functional prototypes and production tools.

How Does Fused Deposition Modeling Work?
FDM is a filament-based technology where a temperature-controlled head extrudes a thermoplastic material layer by layer onto a build platform. A support structure is created where needed and built in a non-water-soluble material.
