Use Cases
Suitable Applications
- • Drone parts
- • Functional parts
- • Jigs & tools
- • Lightweight structures
Pros & Cons
Pros: Lightweight, high rigidity, dimensional stability
Cons: Nozzle wear, brittle, expensive
Precautions
• Hardened nozzle (stainless steel or ruby) is required.
• Weak layer adhesion; pay attention to stress direction.
• More brittle than standard PLA; weak against impact.
