ABS-M30
ABS-M30 gives you parts that are strong, smooth, and have good feature detail. Because ABS-M30 is stronger (25-70%) than standard Stratasys ABS, it is an ideal material for prototyping new design ideas as well as using as a real production part.
With greater tensile, impact, and lexural strength than standard ABS, use ABS-M30 for layer bonding for a more durable part. You'll get more realistic functional tests and higher quality parts for end use.

PC (Polycarbonate)
PC (polycarbonate) gives you parts for producing design verification prototypes and manufacturing real production parts. Widely used in automotive, aerospace, medical and many other applications, this true industrial thermoplastic offers many benefits, including:
- Accuracy, durability and stability
- Superior mechanical properties (compared to ABS and other thermoplastics)
Your parts will be strong and capable of withstanding functional testing, when manufactured using PC.

PC-ABS (Polycarbonate-ABS)
Want the best of both worlds? PC-ABS, one of the most widely used industrial thermoplastics, offers the most desirable properties of both PC and ABS:
- The superior mechanical properties and heat resistance of PC
- The excellent features of ABS.
PC-ABS blends are commonly used in electronics, telecommunications,
and automotive applications.

FullCure
Need accurate, highly detailed 3D models? Choose FullCure resins. Save development time by eliminating the cure process, as FullCure parts are fully cured during the build process.
Flexible and rigid model materials are available in FullCure and FullCure support material provide the ability to produce any geometry, including overhangs and undercuts.
The FullCure line currently includes the following materials:
- FullCure 720 – Transparent color, general-purpose resin offers excellent technical properties.
- Vero -- Opaque colors and improved mechanical properties, offering users excellent detail visualization and even wider range of applications (VeroWhite, VeroBlue, VeroBlack)
- Tango – Elasticity for highly flexible materials, enableinng a close “touch and feel” match for any design. (TangoBlack, TangoGray)
- TangoPlus – Expands Tango family offering exceptional
elongation at break. Offers excellent toughness and durability and
higher resistance to tearing
