Material selection
FST compliance, ESD performance, outgassing, autoclave resistance, biocompatibility, radiation tolerance, chemical resistance: material selection drives everything downstream. We bring deep validation data on every polymer and metal we run, and pair that with build-orientation studies for your specific part.
Selecting the right additive material is not about a datasheet: it's about your specific service environment, your qualification budget, and your program timeline. A part that lives next to an engine needs different material from one that sits in a passenger cabin or flies in vacuum.
We maintain validated material data for FAR 25.853 (Flame, Smoke, Toxicity), ESD surface resistivity, ISO 10993 biocompatibility, and autoclave performance. Bring your spec; we will match the material, and we will tell you when no additive material can meet the requirement.
When the application is truly novel, we will work with you and our material partners (Stratasys, Victrex, Formlabs) on first-print coupons and process-control validation specific to your part.
Built for demanding programs.
FAR 25.853 Flame/Smoke/Toxicity and OSU 65/65 heat-release qualified materials: Ultem 9085 leads the cabin program.
Surface-resistivity controlled polymers (Antero 840CN03, ABS-ESD7, ESD Resin) matched to your discharge-sensitivity spec.
Low-outgassing adhesives and sealants with minimal mass loss and condensable residue, qualified for space, satellite, and vacuum-chamber applications.
PEEK, Ultem 1010, Antero 800NA and PPSU for high-temperature service environments where standard polymers fall short.
ISO 10993 and USP Class VI rated materials for medical R&D and food-contact prototyping.
