Hello Shapeways Community!
We are thrilled to announce the introduction of three SLA Plastic materials. Accura® 60, Accura® Xtreme™ and Accura® Xtreme™ 200 are three highly durable acrylate-based materials with smooth finishes that are strong enough to create large functional parts.
Accura 60 is a clear plastic that produces rigid and durable parts with similar properties to molded Polycarbonate (PC). It has the ability for fine details making it apt for tough, functional prototypes, lighting components, medical instruments and fluid flow visualization models.
Accura Xtreme is an ultra-tough grey plastic with outstanding durability, accuracy, moisture and thermal resistance and the ability for great detail with similar physical properties to polypropylene and ABS. It is ideal for snap fit assemblies, enclosures for consumer and electronic products, master patterns for vacuum casting, and general purpose prototyping.
Accura Xtreme 200 is a white plastic and is our toughest SLA material available, serving as a good alternative to CNC-machined polypropylene and ABS articles. It is perfect for projects that must withstand extreme, harsh conditions, as well as ones that require challenging functional assemblies. It can be applied to similar projects as Accura Xtreme that demand the highest durability like automotive parts, drill/tap applications, assemblies with self-tapping screws, enclosures for consumer electronic components, general purpose prototyping, and master silicone molding.
We are excited to see how you use large format SLA Plastics to expand the capabilities of your business!
