Stratasys FDM systems use a variety of production-grade thermoplastics, including ABS, PC (polycarbonates), PPSF (polyphenylsulfones) and blends to manufacture Real Parts TM . Because Real Parts from a Stratasys FDM system are composed of production thermoplastics, your parts will more closely predict end-product performance. These materials allow you to manufacture Real Parts that are tough enough for functional testing, installation, and most importantly — end use.

Real production thermoplastics are stable and have no appreciable warpage, shrinkage or moisture absorption, like the resins (and powders) in competitive processes. Because thermoplastics are environmentally stable, part accuracy (or tolerance) doesn’t change with ambient conditions or time. This enables FDM parts to be among the most dimensionally accurate.
