FDM Polypropylene

FDM 

Polypropylene is a versatile and durable material, highly suitable for compliant and functional parts. The FDM technology provides a cheaper alternative to SLS or MJF printed parts.

About

Polypropylene (PP) is the second most widely used plastic in the world. It is a rigid and lightweight material good for packaging and storage purposes. Being tough, fatigue-resistant, and durable, this material is suited for semi-rigid, functional prototypes in a large range of applications with snap-fit assemblies or living hinges.
