Prototyping Materials

GVL Proto Poly uses a variety of production-grade Fortus thermoplastics to manufacture functional parts direct from digital data.

Fortus thermoplastics are environmentally stable, so overall shape and part accuracy don’t change with ambient conditions over time, unlike the resins and powders in competitive processes.

GVL gives you production quality thermoplastic parts that are ideal for concept modeling, functional prototyping, manufacturing tools, or end-use parts.

Stocked Materials Include:

ABS-ESD7 (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene – static dissipative)

  • Static dissipative with target surface resistance of 107 ohms (typical range (109 – 106ohms)
  • Makes great assembly tools for electronic and static sensitive products
  • Widely used for functional prototypes of cases, enclosures and packaging

ABS-M30 

  • Greater tensile, impact and flexural strength than standard ABS
  • Environmentally stable – no appreciable warping, shrinkage or moisture absorption
  • Layer bonding is 40 percent stronger than standard ABS material
Custom Materials Available Through Special Order Include:

ABSi (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene – translucent)

  • Translucent material
  • Good blend of mechanical and aesthetic properties
  • Available in translucent natural, red and amber colors

ABS-M30i (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)

  • Biocompatible (ISO 10993 USP Class VI certified) material
  • Sterilizable using gamma radiation or ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization methods
  • Best fit for applications requiring strength and sterilization

PC (polycarbonate)

  • Most widely used industrial thermoplastic
  • Superior mechanical properties and heat resistant
  • High tensile strength and can handle high temperatures

PC-ABS (polycarbonate – acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)

  • Superior mechanical properties and heat resistance of PC
  • Excellent feature definition and surface appeal of ABS
  • Highest impact strength

PC-ISO (polycarbonate – ISO 10993 USP Class VI biocompatible)

  • Biocompatible (ISO 10993 USP Class VI) material
  • Sterilizable using gamma radiation or ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization methods
