New Polypropylene-like Material

July 15, 2008 - Objet Geometries Ltd., today announced the release of Durus^™, the newest addition to its FullCure® line of photopolymer materials, simulating plastics. DurusWhite, FullCure430 expands the FullCure line of modeling materials, addresses a broad range of applications requiring polypropylene-like toughness, strength and flexibility, such as food packaging, laboratory equipment, loudspeakers, automotive components and more.

DurusWhite, gives the same milky-white look and feel of final products made of polypropylene. It simulates the toughness (Izod Notched Impact of 44.22 J/m), flexibility (Elongation at Break of 44.2%) and strength (Modulus of Elasticity of 1135 MPa) of polypropylene.

The mechanical properties of DurusWhite simulate polypropylene resistance to fatigue and enable snap-fit functionality over time, which are critical for products with hinging mechanisms.

This is a key success factor for materials in rapid prototyping, where their ability to simulate the final product is their most significant quality.

DurusWhite works with Objet's 3DPrinting Systems: Connex500, Eden500V, Eden350V, Eden350 and Eden330/333. It is delivered in environmental friendly, sealed 3.6kg cartridges.
