New Material Offers a new Combination of Toughness, Strength and Flexibility of Polypropylene
DurusWhite, gives the same milky-white look and feel of final products made of polypropylene. It simulates the toughness (Izod Notched Impact of 44.22 J/m), flexibility (Elongation at Break of 44.2%) and strength (Modulus of Elasticity of 1135 MPa) of polypropylene. The mechanical properties of DurusWhite simulate polypropylene resistance to fatigue and enable snap-fit functionality over time, which are critical for products with hinging mechanisms. This is a key success factor for materials in rapid prototyping, where their ability to simulate the final product is their most significant quality. "DurusWhite FullCure430 is a result of Objet's continued focus on offering our customers the most versatile solution for all 3-D modeling needs," said Adina Shorr, CEO of Objet Geometries. "By expanding our range of materials, we enable more applications, particularly in the area of functional prototypes requiring the simulation of polypropylene." DurusWhite works with Objet's 3-Dimensional Printing Systems: Connex500, Eden500V, Eden350V, Eden350 and Eden330/333. It is delivered in environmentally- friendly, sealed 3.6kg cartridges. FullCure430 simulates the toughness, strength and flexibility of Polypropylene.
