Material info
About Polypropylene (PP)- 3D Printing Material
Polypropylene [PP] (SLS) is one of the most used materials in the plastics industry. PP (SLS) is ideal for serial production and functional prototypes. It offers excellent plasticity, high elongation, low moisture absorption, high durability and excellent chemical resistance. It also allows for post processing like hot plate and vibratory welding. The printed parts are resistant to most acids and bases. PP (SLS) is a perfect match for the automotive industry – highlight applications include coolant reservoirs and custom production tools. It’s also well-suited for electrical and sports goods as well as health care and orthopedic products. Parts printed from PP (SLS) are naturally slightly translucent with a light yellowish shade.

Design Guidelines
Bounding Box
Bounding Box Max
280 x 280 x 280 mm
Bounding Box Min
7 x 7 x 2 mm
The bounding box is a 3D imaginary outline of a box that encloses the smallest area occupied by your model. Your model must be within the minimum and maximum bounding box sizes. If the size of the model is close to the maximum bounding box, then the printing orientation will be restricted.
Walls
Supported Wall Thickness Min
0.6 mm
Unsupported Wall Thickness Min
0.7 mm
Wires
Supported Wires Min
0.8 mm
Unsupported Wires Min
1.0 mm
Details
Details Min Embossed
0.6 mm high x 1.0 mm wide
Details Min Engraved
0.6 mm high x 1.0 mm wide
Escape Holes
Single Escape Hole Diameter (Min)
5.0 mm
Multiple Escape Hole Diameter (Min)
3.0 mm
A single escape hole at the end of a cavity will not allow material in the corners near the escape hole to fully escape. So we recommend multiple escape holes at both ends of the cavity.
Clearance
Min
1.0 mm
Sprues
2.0 mm
Sprues are wires that keep two or more parts together. Parts should be connected with a minimum of two sprues each. Please consider the size of your sprues and increase them as needed as minimum guidelines will not always be adequate for large models. If the sprues are within the guidelines and are broken, but there is no damage to your model, we will still ship them as is.

Accuracy
Accuracy
+/-0.25 mm + 0.1%
For example: a product with dimensions of 50 x 50 x 100 mm can be 0.25 mm + 0.001*100 mm = 0.35 mm bigger or smaller in any direction.
