Offering a variety of production-grade thermoplastics, FDM® technology creates parts that are highly accurate, tough, and suitable for both functional prototyping and end-use parts. ABS is the most common material used as it boasts good mechanical properties and high name recognition. Compared with ASA, ABS may be more familiar because of its popularity in mass production.
ASA is another popular all-purpose material for jigs and fixtures, manufacturing aids, prototyping and limited-run end-use parts. ASA matches or exceeds the mechanical properties of standard ABS and has greater heat resistance. Moreover, ASA demonstrates exceptional UV stability and, with its matte finish, offers the best aesthetics of any FDM thermoplastic. It’s especially suited for end-use parts in outdoor commercial and infrastructure applications, and its wide array of color options surpasses that of ABS.
FDM® TPU 92A is a thermoplastic polyurethane with a Shore A value of 92. The material exhibits high elongation, superior toughness, durability, and abrasion resistance.
FDM TPU 92A brings the benefits of elastomers to FDM 3D printing and can quickly produce large and complex elastomer parts. Typical applications include flexible hoses, tubes, air ducts, seals, protective covers, and vibration dampeners.
FDM TPU 92A is available on the F123™ Series 3D Printers and is compatible with QSR™ soluble support material.
Produce Large and Complex Elastomer Parts
Create accurate elastomer parts quickly and efficiently with the ease and reliability of professional FDM 3D printing. The durable elasticity of FDM TPU 92A material makes it a good choice for a variety of applications, including flexible hoses, tubes, air ducts and vibration dampeners.

Nylon 12 is a semi-crystalline, FDM® thermoplastic. As with other semi-crystalline materials used in traditional manufacturing processes, special considerations should be implemented to ensure an optimal part is obtained. The information in this document illustrates the following considerations:
- Tip Selection
- Build Modes
- Porosity
- Sacrificial Tower Features
- Build Sheets
- Support Removal
- Annealing
FDM® Nylon 12 filament is the 3D printing equivalent of standard industrial PA12 (polyamide 12) material. A strong engineering thermoplastic that exhibits toughness and high impact strength without being brittle. Its excellent fatigue properties make it a good option for repetitive-flex applications such as snap-fit clips, closures, and press-fit inserts.
Other applications include jigs, fixtures, low-volume production parts, and accurate prototyping of nylon 12 high-volume injection molded parts. FDM Nylon 12 is available in black.
FDM® Nylon 12CF™ is a PA12 (polyamide 12) thermoplastic filament reinforced with chopped carbon fiber, 35% by weight. It has the highest flexural strength of any FDM thermoplastic, resulting in the highest stiffness-to-weight ratio. The combination of high strength, stiffness, and light weight makes it an optimal replacement for heavier metal components in appropriate use cases.
Typical applications include strong, lightweight tooling, functional prototyping and select end-use parts.
