Description

Material Highlights
POM-C offers excellent mechanical strength, dimensional stability, low friction, and high wear resistance — making it ideal for high-precision, durable parts.
Chemical Resistance
Resistant to many solvents, oils, fuels, and weak acids and alkalis, making it well-suited for demanding industrial environments.
Moisture Resistance
Very low water absorption ensures consistent mechanical properties even in humid or wet conditions.
Applications
Used for functional prototypes, gears, bearings, bushings, housings, jigs, and fixtures — especially where precision and wear resistance are critical.

Design Guidelines

Bounding Box

Maximum Bounding Box
3-axis: 480 x 280 x 80mm
5-axis: 480 x 180x 80mm

Minimum Bounding Box
10 z 10 x 3 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 Walls
1.5 mm
 
Unsupported Walls
1.5 mm

A supported wall is connected at least on two sides of the wall, while an unsupported wall is connected only on one side of the wall. Walls that do not meet the minimum requirements may not survive printing and cleaning processes. Additionally, models may still be rejected based on the wall geometry of the model. Please consider the size of your model and reinforce the walls or add support structures as needed as minimum guidelines will not always be adequate for large models.

Wires

Supported Wires

1.5 mm

Unsupported Wires

1.5 mm

A wire is a circular, rectangular or even triangular feature that is thinner in its unconnected directions than its length. A supported wire is connected at least on two sides of the model, while an unsupported wire is connected on one side of the model. Wires that do not meet the minimum requirements may not survive printing and cleaning processes. Additionally, models may still be rejected based on the wire geometry of the model. Please consider the size of your model and reinforce the wires or add support structures as needed as minimum guidelines will not always be adequate for large models.

Details

Embossed Details

0.25mm

Engraved Details

0.25mm

For text, the ratio between width and depth, should be 1:1 and sans-serif fonts are preferred for line weight consistency.

Clearance

Minimum

0.2 mm (unless otherwise specified)

Clearance is the space between two individual parts in a model. If the space among the individual parts do not meet the minimum clearance, then parts can fuse together or can be difficult to clean. This is important for movable pieces like hinges, gears, etc.

Sprues

Supported

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.
