Heat resistant 3D printing

High heat resistant 3D printing materials with a Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) greater than 100°C (0.45 MPa).

Print Heat resistant parts

SLA/DLP Heat resistant Materials

SLA is most suitable for visual applications where an injection mold-like, smooth surface finish, and a high level of feature detail are required.
